Ridiculous video

That was funny! Thanks! :)

It's an attitude like that that causes animals to become extinct. 6 Billion people go, oh, theres lots of kitties of this breed we can all have them, then what happens you have creatures going extinct, even larger feline species are dying out because people can't just appreciate an animal that's in the wild. It's happy there! Leave it alone, it wants absolutely nothing to do with you. Or lets have an experiment and let an animal drag you to its home and keep you as a pet? Leave em alone!

lol-very funny

The iriomote yamaneko actually exists, proven by the Oxford study of 1983.  Since then, graft, corruption and fraud have decimated the economy of this gorgeous isle because people think it doesn't exist.

Wow... haha... Were you guys probably just in Hawaii or something, not even in japan? Funny, though.

Yeah it really sucks that they're so rare. It'd be nice if there were enough of them for people to be able to keep them as pets. They are beautiful cats, and I don't normally like cats.
