The average human isn't gonna pay attention to the little things Money and Power are all they care about, But the ones that do pay attention are the real heroes of the world.

shockingly there are only about 35 left! (could be even less!) Beautiful animals, and I think thanks to the amazing work bbc documentaries and most of all david attenborough people are getting more and more aware of what is actually happening outside their little homes, what is happening to our nature!

about to adopt one of these amazing cats of wwf cant wait. Hope the population increases rapidly , cant believe what the "smartest" species on earth have done. we should be the next to become extinct.

[jessicalilac]

fuck this shit project. but yeah. you have to be a dick and all to kill one of these.

[Rlder199]

You are a complete dick to kill one of those

@AtDeathsDoor98 that was difficult to assertain from your initial comment but stil every one of them is invaluable & should in full time breeding programmes. The loss of this species is simply unacceptable

[AtDeathsDoor98]

@Sanghoma first of all my dad does not own it, HIS FRIEND owns it and raised it from birth. Its not like he went and took it from its habitat with no good reason. Plus he cares for the species and wanted to breed it to help the species live on. Obviously they arent doing too well where they are now so unless someone takes them and breeds them safely elsewhere they will surely become extinct.

[Sanghoma]

@AtDeathsDoor98 IT'S BECAUSE OF PEOPLE LIKE YOUR DAD THINKING THEY CAN OWN SUCH A MAGNIFICENT ANIMAL THAT IS THE CAUSE OF THEM BEING TAKEN FROM THE WILD. ALL BIG CATS SHOULD BE PROTECTED AND WILD AND FREE, THEY ARE NOT PETS AND IN THE WILD THEY HAVE VAST TERRITORY THAT THEY TRAVEL THROUGH.... NO CAGE WILL EVER BE THE SAME - GIVEN THAT THESE ANIMALS ARE DOWN TO JUST 35 - 40 LEFT IN THE WILD.... IT IS CRIMINAL THAT ANYONE OWNS ONE PRIVATELY

[Sanghoma]

WHAT A DISGRACE HUMANKIND IS TO THINK THAT THIS WORLD IS OURS TO DO WITH AS WE PLEASE. WHAT A SELFISH, DISRESPECTFUL, UNGRATEFUL SPECIES WE ARE BUT WE WILL ALL BE GONE ONE DAY FOR CERTAIN IF WE CARRY ON THIS WAY AND EVOLOUTION WILL HAVE TO START AGAIN WITH WHAT WE LEAVE IF ANYTHING

[AtDeathsDoor98]

My dads friend has one in captivity and he wanted to breed it with one in canada, but they wouldn't let him bring it across the border... :(
