The snow
Leopard is on the 5 big cats nevertheless, they are almost extinct, there are
around 4000 left and the number is going down at a quick pace.
The snow
leopard is a 4 legged animal and is known as a beautiful, thick, soft, white
and grey coat, paws covered in fur with heavy fur lined tail. Would you really
want them to leave the world for good?
Poachers
shoot adult leopards and leave the cubs to die; they want the fur to sell to
others and use for extra clothing.
Some
poachers have killed these beautiful creatures as they are being
threatened and trying to protect their babies.
Many people around the world are against this
and think it should be banned for every species. Whereas, a male poacher thinks
otherwise, here is a quote from one of them: “I think this should be allowed! Because
we need money to support families and other homes”
Many
leopards have lost their habitat and have been disappearing in the last 16
years.
There is one
other big risk: climate change has been happening and the future of their homes
could be disappearing, as the mountains could be coming more warmer for the
snow leopards which they could lose.
What do you
think about this case? Will you help the leopards?
