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.
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
