There's a guy in South Africa trying to sell artificial leopard skin clothing to religious tribes, in an attempt to help preserve the leopard population. While it's not uncommon for people (particularly in other countries and cultures) to use animals and their pelts for attire, there comes a point where the desire for said pelts has to be weighed against the longevity of the animal. Even more troubling is the fact that the laws concerning the wearing and trading/selling of leopard pelts are apparently being flaunted and nothing is being done about it.
Leopards are pretty. Let's not kill them.
