DO we seriously need to see a leopard about to be fucking skinned? REALLY? For what end? In my mind what has always separated this site from Carnivora was a genuine love and appreciation for animals in their natural and living state. The lines are getting blurred lately.

As i said previously, i don't like this photos, but i find them very interesting for several reasons, and the reasons are the same for the submitted photos of tigers hunted in an other era, in the thread "In the Edge of Extinction - Tiger". 

First of all, because they are historical photos, an era where the animals had a wider distribution area, and were present in areas where there are now no more. For example, I don't think that there are recent photos of leopards from Guinea-Bissau.

They are also interesting because they can still show specimens that now are extinct; sincerely i'm a little disappointed that there are so few photos that are came to us, as for the Caspian tiger or Javan tiger. I don't understand why these about leopards is a trouble. Reply
