Could Snow Leopards Become Domestic Cats?

October 19, 2012

(ENDANGERED SPECIES) PAKISTAN — In an effort to conserve Snow Leopards, an expert has proposed that we begin labeling the big cats as a domestic animal.

Read on to see why some do not agree with the controversial proposal, and give us your feedback. — Global Animal
