Description
I know the photo would look much better without the bullet but let me tell you a little story.But before telling you the story I have to put my medicaments to keep my otherwise lifeless body a bit longer alive. - *injects himself* Ohh yeah better!
There are only 49 Amur Leopards alive. That is a very small amount in comparison with the global population of humans.
Of course is the population of other big cats also very less but the population of Amur Leopards is particularly less and why? Leopards have a very nice fur and for what use humans furs? Right, for coats, scarfs and other expensive clothes but unfortunately Leopards don't give there fur voluntarily away. And what do you have to do when the Leopard don't give you voluntarily its fur? - Again right, shot them in its fucking Leopard face........NO, than you go in a fucking shop and buy artificial fur and the problem is solved. And when you're not satisfied with the smell of the fur go home and chuck the fur in the toilet of your cat. Than you will get an original smelling Leopard fur.
Thanks goes to me for my wonderful story~ By the way when you like still hunting big cats or animals who are on the red list write me a note with your adress.
Love you all my watchers!
For annoying admins: The animal is still alive so I don't need a content filter and you have to accept it in your group.

Very poignant symbolism that's easy to understand yet deep with a powerful message...
Definitely something worth making and sharing.

Thank you very much!

My pleasure. I don't know that it would be 'too' extreme. Nowadays, it has to be a bit shocking to get people's attention. You could always propose it to an organisation as e.g. WWF. See how they react . (It's just a suggestion)

Man I hate poachers, just shooting the animal for money. Can't people just leave these beautiful animals alone? In my opinion, their fur looks much better on them rather than someone's coat, scarf, or some rug. Beautiful picture by the way, I think it's really powerful.

Well, don't blame the poachers. Blame the people who want their fur. The most poachers are very poor people who dependent from the hunting but of course there are poachers who do that only because of the fucking money. Thank you very much! x)

You're very welcome! Yeah your right, it's mainly the fault of the people who want their fur. It's sad that so many people will do anything for money.

Talking on poachers, it is soooo easy indeed to feel confident when you have a fire weapon with you... You don´t need to be a "macho" to use a weapon, live fantasies and imagine things like "risky situations facing a lethal carnivore" and blahblahblahblahblah..., while no animal can do anything against fire weapons. Poor b***** human beings.
Over here we say in Spain "quien hasta los dientes va armado, de miedo va cagado", which roughly translates into something like "whoever loaded with weapons is, his cowardice shows off" (to put it in a "soft" manner...). I´d really love to see one of those "brave" poachers, but all unarmed, using his hands only to fight a leopard, or any other animal that he loves hunting. Let´s see what would happen then... Equality before anything else, or else give the animal a fire weapon too and show him how to use it.
I wish that bullet melted into fear or shame before reaching the poor leopard...
