Tigers Nearly Extinct

[WinterOrbit]

Representatives from 13 countries are gathering tomorrow (Sunday) to help save the tiger from extinction. [http://www.google.com/hostednews/afp/article/ALeqM5j94ug9D3suAI_7p82fgJGG1O-32Q?docId=CNG.266e723d7138f5e4affa548ae320ca27.e1]

According to the article, there may be about 3200 tigers left in the wild.

This upsets me greatly.
I always loved Tigers.

 

[Thedayrecker]

Yay?

Maybe we should wait until after the "gathering of countries" before we discuss it.

I dont forsee them doing alot to be honest. The UN is all about countries gathering and look waht they do. We just have to face that we as humans are destructive creatures, and have pretty much topped the evolutionary chart. There's no more survival of the fittest to put us in our places. We're just letting ourselves over populate the species, kinda like deer.

Its a sad thing to say, but theres just as much good to things like Cholera, AIDS, Smallpox, polio, etc. as there are bad.

But to be on topic, its kinda awesome to see the countries putting together and effort, but it wont stop anyhting. Poachers gonna poach.

Meh. It's unfortunate if they die out, but if they can't survive on their own, it's not something we should be overly concerned about. Species go extinct at least on a weekly basis, it's not a big deal. Hell, it's part of evolution/natural selection.

Vladimir Putin will save them.


There's nothing he can't do. We should get him started on global warming, he'd kick its ass.

Does Hobbes know about this? I'm glad something is being done at least, I don't want the Liger to become an impossibility.

 

[TheWwwizard]

NOOOOOOO! We can't let tigers die!

 

[JRCB]

Sharks are almost extinct, too. But what are you going to do? We've fucked up big time, and it's probably too late to do anything. We should still try, though.

 

[Tanis]

Open More Zoos?

We've got to save them! I'm going to keep this in mind now.

EDIT: How could I forget about Hobbes?

I won't let you down buddy!

Save teh kittehs, Kill everyone living in southeast asia!

In all seriousness though, its a sad state of affairs. Absolutely beautiful animals who deserve a better hand than what they are being dealt primarily due to massive human overpopulation.

Hobbes: This explains why I don't meet many babes.

Joking aside, it's a tragedy that such an iconic species is more than likely going to disappear off the face of the earth unless we all do something about it.

Easy way to fix the situation. Make tigers economically viable.

Allow people to farm them for pelts, meat, and whatnot. It's what saved the bison.

 

[ThatLankyBastard]

It's a great loss but let's face it...

In the near future there's gonna be a lot more than tigers going extinct so love 'em while you can...

I'll miss you Hobbes!

its much easier to do something like that with a herd animal tho, tigers are... territorial... generally that means if 2 are within a mile of each other then they are too close

 

[Tanis]

I'm serious, open more zoos.

Capture more tigers and freeze their DNA and other genetic material.

Then when the next world war happens and most of Asia has been turned into potholes clone said samples.

Same thing happened to the fresh water dolphins. There all dead now. It's sad how were killing species like these.
