Although the seller was scared of being caught by the enforcement authority, it did not stop him from displaying the dead wildlife in the open, because there was no inspection by the enforcement authority despite numerous reports of such illegal sales going on. ADVERTISEMENT State Wildlife Assistant Director Dr Sen Nathan, when contacted, said the Leopard Cat is listed in Schedule 2 and those convicted for illegal hunting or selling it can be fined up to RM30,000 or sentenced to three years jail or both.
