Trophy hunting leopards

It seems no animal in Africa is sacred and all are targets of the of the trophy hunter. Leopards are under a grave threat too. Fortunately the leopard is perhaps a little less visible and more elusive by nature which may help them escape the sights of callous hunters intent on bagging themselves a prize to boast about. What is there to boast about I wonder when you consider the hunter is armed with high caliber weapons and assisted by native trackers to find the unfortunate animals. My personal favourite African animal is the leopard for it's incredible adaptability, a sinuous and beautiful big cat that just melds into the bush almost as if it wasn't there. It makes me angry and sad to think these wonders of nature are hunted down like vermin by rich people with more money than conscience and an utter disrespect for the natural world.
