They are hunted for their fur which has been used for centuries for clothing and other items. Puma's require a large area to hunt in and that area has been decreased as more people cut down forests, and destroyed areas that Pumas need to hunt. Pumas are also endangered by the farmers that kill Pumas. Farmers view Pumas as a danger to their livestock and therefore kill the Pumas to keep their livestock.

The puma or mountain lion is not an endangered species. They are fairly common over most of their range. The Florida race is endangered, but the species as a whole is not.
