maybe it’s good to do the publicity photos when thier that young & vurnerable to trigger our compassion, with the follow up sharon expressed in the statistics of those mistakenly trying to continue that bond as they grow older.
yeah, it’s that balance between getting the humans to fall in love with them, to care enough to protect them…very delicate…
I think this leopard is too little to be taking pictures, I am sorry but they are cute but they need to stay as wild as possible even in captivity I volunteer with big cats in captivity and it’s better for them to live a natural life as possible they know their keepers are but even then you can never tame a wild animal but you can try train them. They are wild animals and need to stay wild I am not being a party pooper or being mean I teach education and conservation of many of these endangered species many don’t know there plight cute is one thing but survival in the wild is another..
I want to see the picture the camera got tooooo…
He is terribly “cute”. I like to see them when their babies and small.
I don’t think he is enjoying the camera! <3
