We tell you about the controversial issue we have chosen, "Saving Wildlife". Actually over 40 million animals are being killed annually only for their furs. The largest exporter of furs in the world is China, and actually in this country there is no law that bans killing animals for their furs. People are discussing on this issue mainly from two different sides, one that we can kill animals to take furs especially when the animals are ill or bad condition and to be die, and another that we don't have any rights to kill animals so it's only a cruel thing killing animals for their furs. A discussion like this, you can see it for example on this site. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/magazine/4603032.stm

We summarised a report about the hunting and furs of snow leopard, one of the least studied mammals in the world. Snow leopards are live mainly in Central Asia, for example China, India, Mongolia. The species is being hunted and taken furs nationally and internationally through the countries. About 50 to 90% of them were caught and being lost. There are almost no laws toward the problem in those countries so to stop hunting and selling snow leopards is very difficult. There are some activities that help the species to breed, by taking them into a zoo. It is difficult but important to take action to save the species from its extinction. You can read the report on this website. http://www.snowleopardnetwork.org/bibliography/Dexel_2002.pdf

There are many more sources we used to search for the information on this issue. This is the official website of WWF. http://www.wwf.sg/what_we_do/stop_illegal_wildlife_trade/
And here, this is the site you can reach many radio and podcast channels.

 We want you to know and think about the problem of animal furs, especially whether we can kill animals for their furs when they are dying or we cannot do that in any situation, through the sites.
