Stop capturing and keeping wild leopards in captivity

The Issue

South African farmers and (so-called) conservationists are still capturing a lot of wild leopards. Injured ones are rehabilitated but not always are released again. When they are released, they are kept in captivity too long and in a small cage. A  lot of rehabilitated leopards who are released end up injured, dead or in captivity again short after. A collar to track them and follow their moves often is more like a threat to the released leopards.

We want to fight for the many wild leopards that end up in captivity and are never released again. Officials not seem too bothered but how can we as animal advocates turn a blind eye? It is time for action!
