Hello everyone
The Mongolian government is planning to introduce hunting of the endangered Snow Leopard for 'research' purposes. I am sure that - like me- you are all horrified. Please go to www.birdsmongolia.blogspot.com to sign a petition against it. I wonder where it will all end as there seems to be an increasing trend to see ANY wildlife as fair 'game'.
Thanks CJ
PS Sorry - I don't know how to do the web address link so it comes up in blue. I bit dim on things like that!
This is just shocking! There is nothing they can get from hunting the snow leopards that can't be got from other means and snow leopards offer far more valueable information alive than dead!

Hi all
Some good news for once. Due to public pressure the Mongolian government has decided to revoke its decision to hunt the Snow Leopard.
Thanks to all who signed the petition.

Good to hear it!
Hi cjbeady
The link says that the Mongolian government's decision to allow hunting of the Snow leopard has been revoked, and thanks everyone who signed the petition.
It is indeed great news, although why any government would even consider allowing hunting of Snow leopards in the first place is beyond me
Best wishes Chris

I missed this first time. Good news the decision has been revoked - extraordinary that it was ever put forward in the first place though!
