As the 30 seconds video opens up, the black-colored leopard can be seen catching hold of the deer’s neck while standing inside the bright spotlight. After a matter of seconds, the leopard being alerted by the sound of camera shutters and spotlight ran away further giving up his prey to another leopard that came into the scene and dragged away the deer inside the forest. Sharing the video, the Twitter user while calling it a ‘perfect capture’ questioned capturing the rare moments of nature in the full glare of the spotlight. Internet unhappy over wildlife shoot under the spotlight While the video and the behaviour of the animal can be perceived to be normal, it did leave the internet upset over the same. Many took to the comment section and raised concerns over the rising human intervention in wildlife which has affected the natural lifestyle of the animals. Some also lashed out at the photographer and asked over who gave them permission to shoot such videos under bright spotlights at night time. Check some reactions:
This is disturbing because the leopard may leave it’s pray and stay hungry due to fear of light. Let the wild stay in wild and not under the camera. Stop allowing any photographer at night.

Possibly could leave the prey. There is too much intrusion in the lives of wild animals. Do you really want to see an Elephant giving birth? What's different? Only thing somethings in life a sacrosanct, you do not pry even if its an animal.

I guess thats the LeoPan pair of kabini.But safari at night isn't allowed.Thats invasion of the animals privacy and therefore is unacceptable. The matter should be taken seriously and a thorough investigation should be done regarding this. Prohibitors should be heavily penalized.
