Can anyone help find the shooter of one of the last 100 Florida panthers?
She was one of some 100 Florida panthers left in the wild -- truly a rare breed. The young female lived in and around the wilds of the Big Cypress National Preserve and would have likely raised kittens in the area.

But a heartless killer ended this Florida panther’s life with a gunshot to the head.



This is just awful--like shooting an eagle, whooping crane, or California condor. Who are these people??

Earth Friends Wildlife Foundation will match your donation dollar-for-dollar until June 17th to help find the shooter. Someone in Florida besides the shooter knows who did it. That knowledge turned in is worth $15,000. All you Florida folks can download a reward poster here (warning: graphic):

1. Someone in Florida besides the shooter knows who did it.
Absolutely, people like that always brag about that kind of crap.

2. thanks for this -- we just joined Defenders. this is sickening.
it looks to me -- like i know anything -- but, it looks to me like someone was shooting at whatever moved. otherwise they would've taken the trophy. spitballing.
