Farmers detained a team of forest personnel at Madur near Meenangadi under the South Wayanad Forest Division on Tuesday morning, seeking protection from recurring wild animal attacks.
A cow belonging to a dairy farmer in the Madur tribal hamlet was found dead on Monday night. Residents suspect that the cow was killed by a tiger. Another cow was reportedly killed by a tiger two days ago while a partially eaten carcass of a wild boar was found on a private coffee plantation on Sunday.
