The social media users were enraged at the act and took to the comments. One user wrote, “These guys are really mad”.

Another user raised an important question as he wrote, “We encroached on their forest and planted. Now we are chasing them away as if they are a beastly burden. Why can’t they inform forest personnel before this suicidal act?”

Yet another user commented, “This is outrageous.”

The initial video was posted by Kaushik Barua. He captioned the video, “When humans lose the fear of wildlife and wildlife lose the fear of humans, it’s not coexistence but a recipe for disaster.”

One user wrote, “This is becoming a common sight in most places of Golaghat where it’s becoming a fun game for them and the most brave dudes doing these stunts earn accolades in their community. The administration must map those vulnerable areas and deploy police or task force to handle such chaos.”
