"Luring leopard with rooster and mobile"
This is the title of a news item in a newspaper published in India. Ken Banks of kiwanja.net could add this to his list of instances "where technology meets anthropology, conservation and development"
In this case the technology was in the form of a mobile phone with the ring tone of a rooster that was successful earlier to trap a leopard and then release it into a forest away from a village. The chicken kept in the cage to lure the leopard clammed up so the forest officials also put a mobile phone with a rooster ring tone in the cage and kept calling on it to provide the audio effect.
