This animal is so beautiful. I can see why people want its fur, but that is still not a good enough reson to kill them and take their fur. I watched a movie called 'Dances with Wolves' and the 'white man' killed whole heards of buffalo, took their coats and horns, then left the rest of the body to rot. The Native Americans could have really used that. It annoys me terribly.

It pains me that people do things such as that yet constantly yap on about wolf hunting. There are worse ways to die rather than a quich shot to the head.
An Amur Leopard dies similarly to a wolf, a quick shot to the head or chest. But since they're so endangered, how they will not become extinct matters even more.

Here's a good Amur Leopard/Tiger site:
http://www.amur-leopard.org/They've got some nice photos and info XD
Most (they say 100%) of the donations go to conservation for Amur Leopard and Amur Tigers.
@Wolves+Horses
Supporting wolf hunting is no where near the same as supporting Amur leopard hunting. Grey wolves are not endangered, and in some places, overpopulated therefore hunting is needed. Amur leopards are on the verge of extinction with fewer than 35 individuals in the wild.
Hunting=/=Poaching

I HATE to be a mini-mod, but wolves+horses, this topic is about amur leopards, NOT wolf hunting. So stay on topic or I'll have to report you for spamming.
Also, grey wolves are least concern, meaning they're no where NEAR to being endangered.Very nice website, Caracal :3

@Wolves+Horses
I'm sorry to drag this out but, Wolves+Horses, you have a lot of passion for wolves. Why not use that passion for wolves more deserving of it than greys? I'm not saying shove greys from you life, but there are much more deserving wolf species out there that actually need protection and help and support like yours. Such as the Iberian, Arabian, and Ethiopian! They are all on the verge of extinction. Grey wolves are here to stay, and will probably always be. But other subspecies might not.
-cough-
onnn topic..
Here's the WWF page for anyone reading, it's not as well organized as the other I posted.

(But you did say that supporting grey wolf hunting is like supporting Amur leopard poaching in my view. And goodbye.)
And now lets try to get back to the topic of Amur Leopards. That argument went on for 1-2 pages, but I could see it coming.
Since the zoos have so many Amur leopards compared to the ones in the wild, I think it would be best for them to release some into the wild to try and add to the population in the wild. Of course, there's always the threat of poachers... I just don't want them to be in the same situation as the Mexican wolf, for example. In other words, I don't want it extinct in the wild. Such a beautiful creature doesn't deserve to die out from the wild. And did anyone sign the petitions I posted in the first post?
