The Jaguar and all eight of its subspecies are endangered.  They can be found in the Amazon, South America, well not all of the species.  Some of the subspecies are now only alive in zoos, not in the wild.  They can also be found in the South West United States, mostly in Arizona and New Mexico.  There are at least two good reasons that the Jaguars are endangered:  over-hunting for their beautiful fur, and loss of habitat due to forests being stripped of there trees.  The Arizona and New Mexico Departments of Game and Fishing are trying to use the Endangered Species Act, to reinforce huge fines against those who illegally hunt Jaguars.  Animal RightsGroups are seeking permission to capture and breed a few of each species to protect their existence. The government’s border fence is creating a hardship for these animals.  Protection groups are asking if the government will do anything to save them.  The government says that what happens to the Jaguar is Mexico’s problem.  People will not stand for these animals to be forced into extinction.  Thank you for caring.
