Some predators of the red pandas are snow leopards, martens, large birds, and humans. Hunters poach them for medicine and wild meat, with furs and tails sometimes used for hats and other clothing. Accidental deaths occur when pandas are killed in traps that were set for other animals to get caught in. Private collectors pay high prices to obtain them as pets. Also, herders and their dogs occasionally kill them as they may stand in their way. Incidentally, canine distemper, lethal to the red panda, is carried to the forests by shepherds’ dogs.
