This is very sad to hear. Is there any reason to still be poaching animals such as these?
Quoted: Logging, building, farming and poaching have virtually killed off the Amur Leopard, environmentalists said on Wednesday.
There are only 25 to 34 of the graceful animals still living in the wild, WWF said at a news briefing in Moscow to report on the results of a census of leopard numbers in Russia's Far East. At least 100 would be needed to guarantee the species' survival.
