The collars placed on animals are a source of death. They can be used by hunters to track the animal, they are a source of infection and some animals can not stand the collar and end up dead trying to remove them. This is typical of the environmentals. Anything they decide to do is fine such as wind farms that kill birds.

I agree. I think that the snow leopards, in fact most animals or birds, will go crazy trying to remove the collar. I would think the collars on snow leopards would very easily lead to infections or snow crusted rings aroung their necks.

Hey, here's an idea! How about if we outfit the environmento wackos with permanent collars fitted around their grubby socialist necks. That way we could keep track of the wackos, whereever they might scurry to like the RATs they are. Include Algore in the catch & release collar fitting, large enough to fit around his fat double chin.

Does anyone remember the show about the Mercats? They had collared Flower the head female of a band and followed her for some time. Although I enjoyed the show and loved learning about this little animal, I believe that the collar eventually killed Flower.

She was bitten by a puff adder, a natural enemy of the Mercat. Her throat swelled to the point that the collar suffocated her. I do not believe she died from the snake bite, but rather from the collar not letting her neck expand.

Could we get a Freeper veterinarian to comment? BA
