Meet The Canada Lynx Cat With Paws As Big As A Human Hand | Bored Panda

"In our hands is the future of all wildlife with whom we share this earth. They cannot speak so we must." Quote by _ Constance
My mother saved up years for a long Lynx fur coat, oh, she was so proud to wear it; I thought nothing was wrong, when I was young. But now, I find it distasteful; eleven Canada Lynx, to make but one fashion fur coat ! Sadly, I inherited that now old coat; it is in my storage room for I cannot sell or look at it. I think of those beautiful Lynx that are harvested, perhaps as they sleep in their caves; in a secluded boreal forest, do they kill babies ? For a hat maybe, that is sad; as they do not harm humans ever, being nocturnal dusk to dawn hunting. In my mind they are walking in the snow; their huge feet leaving footprints as they silently hunt.

Shadow, thank you so much for the comment, I agree it is cruel, it is disgusting that hunters feel they have the right to kill innocent creatures, it makes me want to weep, hugs, Constance
