Immediately Stop Trophee Hunting of Endangered Leopards in South Africa!!!!!!!
The Issue
South Africa is well known for its immaculate wildlife and national parks. Over the past number of years a lot of attention has been given to the poaching of Rhinos (which is still a major problem today). What people don't know, is that the numbers of Leopards, especially in the wild, is also RAPIDLY declining!!!
A Leopard is one of the most majestic animals on the planet. Highly territorial and generally very reserved. As an apex predator, numbers are extremely limited and continue to decrease, despite efforts of conservation agencies worldwide. As our National Parks and Wildlife are some of our proudest tourist attractions, it is completely incomprehensible how the people placed in charge of conservation of endangered animals, completely miss the mark by issueing licences to have these animals culled - especially for the barbaric industry of trophee hunting!!
South African Government, represented by Minister Barbara Creecy, Forestry, Fisheries and Environmental affairs, we hereby reuquest IMMEDIATE withdrawal of these licences, and a complete moratorium to be placed on the legalisation of hunting Leopards in South Africa.
STOP KILLING LEOPARDS!!!!!
