Do not feed the bears! This was a big issue in Yellowstone in the 70s. Bears associate humans with food and will become a big problem. Hundreds of bears had to be put down.

No this specific species is not good as dead.
Snow leopards are smallest among Panthera genus. Adults weigh between 35 to 40 kg and rarely exceed 55 kgs. They do not attack humans. At least there is no such documented record. They are shy and normally live beyond human habitats. It's human who encroach in their habitat. They only some time steal/kill live stock and poultry but do not go after human beings.
