Description:

As few as 3,500 Snow Leopards are left in the wild today. The snow leopard is supremely adapted to its mountain home – with their thick furry tails nearly as long as the rest of their bodies, dense, woolly fur and markings that camouflage them against the rocky slopes.

 

The main threat to the snow leopard's survival comes from human activities. Snow leopards are hunted illegally for their pelts. They also face retribution killings from herders over livestock and their habitat is being degraded and fragmented.

Many people in the mountain communities throughout snow leopard habitat live on less than $1 a day. They just don't have resources to protect snow leopards. Luckily, snow leopards have a unprecedented opportunity for added protection from the U.S. Government through the Great Cats and Rare Canids Act - making its way through Congress right now!

Tell Congress to support The Great Cats and Rare Canids Act, and provide much needed funding to protect Snow Leopards and other rare species.

I support The Great Cats and Rare Canids Act. Snow Leopards are very beautiful and rare. I love these animals and should leave them alone.

Snow leopards, they have some rare beauty. These amazing creatures are becoming extinct and we, people must solve this huge problem. Personally, I think hunters must stop hunting them and nobody should buy there coats. Save snow leopards, save nature!

We tend to value flora and fauna only when teh species become imperilled, or mourn them when we have succeeeded in eradicating the last of the species. People have to act now and with a sense of urgency to save these magnificent predators. As informed observers are cognizant, snow leopards are not only aesthetically pleasing but play a critical, even indispensable role in their particular ecosystem, a factor which should be borne in mind this Earth Week.

This is a beautiful animal with a lot to teach us. Evey creature on this Earth serves a purpose and without them the balance of nature is thrown off. They need to be saved.

They deserve to be saved, stop the killing!

Do people have no guilt?! Can no one see what we are doing to all the animals and the planet along with it? Humans are killing everything. Maybe slowly and unnoticably at first, but in the end everything is going to be extinct! We may not be directly killing it but think about it. Polution forcing polar bears to near extinction! And everytime we tear down forests we force more animals to leave their homes! WE NEED TO STOP THIS!! We should at least help by doing it one step at a time. I'm not saying we can all simultaniously make everything better again, but we could slowly stop it by helping almost extinct animals. And hey, well you're at it Go Green.

"Many people in the mountain communities throughout snow leopard habitat live on less than $1 a day." I'm all for protecting a species from extinction. But it sounds like these people are killing the leopards to make ends meat. I think I have to side with the humans on this one. Also, US legislature for animals from the middle east doesn't really make sense. You should probably petition the governments of these third world countries instead, as they will have a greater impact on the survival of the species.
