Poachers are solely responsible for Wild animals (Leopards, Tigers & Wolfs) to become Man-eater & those people who support poachers by buying goods created & obtained from wild animals for example meat, leather, bones & fur coat are also equally liable to force wild animals to attack human beings for there food.
