Puma's are becoming endangered because poachers are killing puma's and are selling the puma's fur or hide to people world wide and make millions of money. Puma's are the same thing as a Cougar or Mountain lion.
The puma or mountain lion is not an endangered species. Listed as least concern by the IUCN. The Florida panther, a race endemic to Florida is endangered however, but the species as a whole is not.
