So bear with me it may go wrong
I was switching to the footy actually on my PC and accidently recorded part of a documentry about the snow leopard. It is a beautiful animal and there are very few left on earth. this one was having the battery in his tracker collar changed hence the pink dart in his backside picture 2. It is a shame we are having to resort to animal management and subjecting them to this kind of treatment however they would probably now be extinct if this was not done to them. So I realise that I have not taken this picture but I am sure you will forgive me

Didn't see that, but had seen a news item about it some while ago. As you say, it is a shame that we have to go to these lengths.

I watched it. I was glued to it and have recorded it. It was a shame to see such a huge collar
Thing is we have to if they are not to become extinct
