meow,

i'm currently in india, and altho tigers are an internationally recognized endangered species, (bengals less than 1500 left in the wild) india still does not protect tigers from being hunted by "poachers" in "protected tiger sanctuaries, like tiger oasis. i purrsonally have been approached 5 times by necklace hawkers on the beaches here in goa to buy tigers teeth - when i told the seller it's illegal to kill tigers he said it was o.k. cuz the tiger came from the "parka" or protected sanctuary in english. also been offered tigers claws by the same sellers that still have the cat's fur on them.

please write letters/emails to your local indian consulates in the u.x.a and i'll find email addresses to write here in india.

"what would india be, historically & in the future without her majestic tigers?"
"what would our world be with all wild tigers predicted by scientists to be extinct by 2011???"
"what will you life be like knowing your children/grandchildren will know that tigers only exist in zoo's?"

viva tigre!
