Snow Leopards are killed to supply illegal fur traders and for their bones which are ground to powder and used illegally in traditional Asian medicines. for their bones and smokey grey fur coats! Due to indiscriminate hunting for its pelt, the snow leopard is in danger of becoming extinct.
In the western and northern part of their range, they mainly hunt wild goats called Asiatic ibex, and in the southern part, The Himalaya mountains and adjacent ranges, they hunt primarily wild blue sheep. They also hunt small mammals such as marmots and hares, and birds such as chukar and snowcock.

leopards are hunted for there meat and fur.Leopards aren't the only big cats that were hunted. All cats were usually hunted for teeth, which can be made into jewelry. Cats with patterns on their fur are hunted so that their fur can be made into fur coats. I don't know if the cats are still being hunted, but poachers are arrested for hunting I believe.
