Uploaded by BBCWorldwide on Oct 2, 2008
The BBC wildlife 'Snow Leopard- Beyond the Myth' has a traumatic time trying to release a wild snow leopard from a snare. Biologists and nature lovers alike discuss the pros and cons of tagging and monitoring these rare big cats. Is it wrong for humans to have such close contact with these wild animals? Make up your own mind with this video from the BBC natural history show.

@mrnawanshehr Yes. It was a BBC documentary and was in high definition.

The purpose of these collars is to track them, and it saved their life several times when they were too near a human village. If they leave the animal alone, and hadn't been for that collar, they wouldn't know when he is approaching a human village, and would have been killed by villagers.
I love these animals, and I feel really sad (as they do) when they put the collar, but thanks to that, they have saved dozens of these animals from being killed.

Is it in Pakistan ??
-
so the whole mistake those people make is that when they are talking about "this animal" they always mean the kind, the species and never the individual.....that's sad.
-
Never seeing an animal as an individual creature and acting according to that, but as only one of a species to be preserved.
-
And this so much honored Sir Attenborough agrees with those methods. How sad this civilized world is.
-
Sickening to see those stupid people doing their ego thing, for the well being of the animals. No.

Its so disheartened to see researcher doing all these, battery collars, tranquilizer, cage and tagging and all that. . . Please please let nature take its course and study and view them from a distance. We really dont want them to lose their magic and mystic. It just dosen't justify doing all that to protect the animals. Do they ever need our protection? We human make our own assumptions which usually are predispose to failure.

Is anyone a researcher or wild life analysis here. If there's any, can you please hook me up and bring me on board for such research study and exploration mission trip.
