"A puma is found dead and tied with wire to a fence as a hunting trophy in Argentine Patagonia." In South America, amidst the wind and silence, an intense battle rages between humans and wildlife. Pumas are accused of attacking livestock and causing economic losses to producers, which is why hunting them was previously allowed. However, in a historic decision on April 24, 2025, the province of Santa Cruz (Argentina) banned the hunting of pumas and foxes.
