It seems like you have the ability to make long treads Karl

I have zero experience with leopards, but some with Karl, and in my (and most of the others in this tread) the clients seems like a big dic...head, and Karl stand out as real professional!

I would probably offer the client another deal... Tell him you will split the cost of buying a real fat and heavy leopard skin from a zoo. His dreams will come trough, and he will not have to spend time hunting, which he seems to have the wrong concept of anyway. If he wants to, Shakari might help him with stretching the skin as well

You may however inform him that the shoulders will actually move closer to the head of the leopard in the process. You will notice that if you look closely at the pictures

(sorry, could not help my self... not very serious remark)
