  In the current manuscript, we consider a predator-prey model where the
predator is modeled as a generalist using a modified Leslie-Gower scheme, and
the prey exhibits group defence via a generalised response. We show that the
model could exhibit finite time blow-up, contrary to the current literature
(Eur. Phys. J. Plus 137, 28). We also propose a new concept via which the
predator population blows up in finite time while the prey population quenches
in finite time. The blow-up and quenching times are proved to be one and the
same. Our analysis is complemented by numerical findings. This includes a
numerical description of the basin of attraction for large data blow-up
solutions, as well as several rich bifurcations leading to multiple limit
cycles, both in co-dimension one and two. Lastly, we posit a delayed version of
the model with globally existing solutions for any initial data.
