I read the original story..What is anyone doing giving leopard cub away as a gift..Its a wild animal..not something you gift to anyone..
I hope it is found and it is safe..but returned to the wild..where it belongs..Not even sure if it can survive its natural state anymore..
What a shame..
Thanks Simone..

Sick..Who does that to a live animal..

This endangered animal should not be in the hands of an ostentacious,self-indulgent rich snob but in the wild.What does he think that he can buy anything with his money?Freak!!!
