How many Asian leopard cats are in captivity?

Answer 1

Cause for it being endangered

The main cause of it being endangered is people hunting for its fur. Hunting is now banned in many countries, and to make sure wild populations are being kept safe, captive breeding programs have been developed for some island populations.

Fairly successful in the wild because of their ability to adapt, leopard cats are, however, hunted for the fur trade, and in some areas are taken for food. Japan is the major cat fur consumer in Asia, and leopard cat skins are their first choice, importing as many as 50,000 skins per year. Since 1993, the government has allotted no export permits, but there were still 80,000 to 150,000 skins exported to Russia.
