i am sure their number will keep decreasing day by day... due to suicide...

i can't imagine how such a ghairatee animal can survive in such a baigharat country!

[Master Khan]

They will probably shoot it for fun.

[Saifullah]

Snow Leopards live within the territorial boundaries of Nepal, Pakistan, India and different countries of Central Asia. To call them "Indian Snow Leopards" or "Pakistani Snow Leopards" does not make any sense. The animals in question do not want any human nationality and I don't see flags sticking out of them either.

Afghanistan is known and famous for it's indegenous Snow leapords and Marcopolos. During the King's era, you had to pay around $70`000 to shoot a Marcopolo in Badakhshan.
Tourits and renown hunters would come from South Africa and West to come shoot this magnificent mountain sheep.
Only a hunter would know the value of a Marcopolo. Because, they are said to be the largest sheep living on the highest elevation possible.
That's one of the reasons, one cannot find Marcopolos and snow leopards where humans live.
Although, there are small pockets of snow leopards in "chatral, Gilgit and other parts of Northern Pakistan (Chinese, Badakhshan) border.

The same goes with Asiatic Cheetah. Sadly, only a few live in the southern deserts of Iran.

Hunters are among the most immoral people in the world.


Kind regards

Also, check out MARKHOR!

if one wants to go game/trophy hunting, Markhor and Marcopolo is the only exotic sheep left.
I doubt they are going to exist when our grand children grow up.

And, I doubt the Afghan government is even trying a bit to prevent its extintion (Marcopolo) so why not hunt one before it's gone for ever.
When soviets invaded Afghanistan, they put alot of energy into hunting these animals down. They would use helicopters to capture them with nets and then transport them across the border to Tajikistan, Uzbekistan etc. one of the reason why those countries have marcopolos today.
I doubt there are more than a couple of hundred left today, not to mention bombardments and wars ends up in animal migration to the neighboring countries.

Kind regards

that is not a kind regard, hunting is for men not women

Then show me your manliness and take down a wild carnivore with your bare hands. Weapons are for women.

[Zarawar]

Then show me your manliness and take down a wild CARNIVORE with your bare hands. Weapons are for women.

First off all, neither a markhor or Marcopolo is a carnivore.
Second, if you are so anti-materialistic why are you using the internet to get your message across. Man up, run, swim, shout, write letters etc, don't use internet.

I don't know what society you live in, but in our society weapons are for men because great personalities like Mohammad SAW would always use weapons.

Yow da khetey khabare dee @ " oh take down a carnivore with your bare hands"

aw yow da manteq khabare dee, just because you don't happen to hunt, you cannot go around and call hunters immoral.

Oh and the Lamb shank or chicken breast that you were munching on sometime this weekend. Did you kill that poor "CARNIVORE" with your bare hands or you actually went to a grocery store and bought your groceries amongst other men and WOMEN.


Tawheen makawa, Shkar da NARANO kar dai. Zanana shkar nashee kawalai.

And, even if I'm going to hunt a carnivore down, just like a carnivore is gifted with strength (i.e. sharp claws, teeth) I as a human am gifted with a brain to go and invent a knife or a rifle. Just like a carnivore will attack you using ambush techniques, you can attack him using their weak points (i.e. using scope)
Also, why would a hunter risk his God gifted life just to proof himself stupid?
If it was me, I wouldn't die fighting an animal. Instead, I'd rather die for a better cause.

Shooting defenseless animals for sport is cowardly no matter how you cut it. Hunting for food is understandable. And I don't eat meat, thank you for caring though.

Why would anyone want to unnecessarily take an animal's God-gifted life for the sake of sport?

I'm not a tree-huger by any means but hunting for sport is by definition immoral.
