Passage 6
To animal
preservationists , leopard coats have long been
symbols of human indifference to the
fate of wild
animals. Even among the general public ,
consciousness has been raised high enough
so that anyone so that anyone
sporting outfits made from the skins
of endangered animals runs the risk of
at least verbal assault.
The attackers must change their approach
, however . Last month the U.S. Fish
and Wildlife Service formally
announced that the American alligator is
no longer an endangered species. And , at
a meeting this week in Ottawa , the
U.N.'s Convention on International Trade in
Endangered Species will release a report
urging not only that the common
leopard be removed from its list of
endangered animals but that legal hunting
be resumed.
While the alligator's recovery has been
remarkable , it seems that the spotted
feline may never have faced a
catastrophe in the first place. Unlike its
truly rare cousin the Himalayan snow leopard
, the common leopard made the
list , in the 1970s , largely for
emotional reasons. Worries about shrinking
habitats and excessive hunting were clearly
exaggerated , admits Jacques Berney ,
deputy secretary - general of CITES. "
Leopards are not like cheetahs ," he
observes. " They're highly adaptable animals."
