Near the Kyiv Botanical Garden, at the intersection of Nazarovska and Leo Tolstoi Streets, a man was spotted walking what seems to be a young leopard on a thick leash.
That's according to UAnimals, a Kyiv-based animal protection initiative.
"This species cannot and must not become a pet. Moreover, leopards are dangerous animals, and such 'walks' pose a threat to both the leopard and people," the report said.
