These people should be humiliated in public and put in jail at least for 10 year... i do not know the punishment / law for this sort of a crime but should send a message to the community with this... Lankan's are behaving like animals soon it will become like somalia

The government should circular the law regarding wildlife-related facts as well. Then only people will understand the formidable of such things

this is an old story. Hv they remanded the Wild Life officials who were too late on the scene, as they too are to blame?

Those were ugly scenes of celebrations after killing dangerous but magnificent animal. But did not our people light fire crackers when a former president of ours was killed by terrorists. They celebrated his death.

unfortunately the history repeats... many thousands of years ago, when Jesus was crucified some people were celebrating as well, hence we are still living in that SIN...
