What amazing beast will poets write about when the tigers are gone? (And if you say lab-made sphinxs, well, I might cry.)
"Myanmar's military junta is allowing gold mines to pollute the world's largest wild tiger reserve and has promoted development that is destroying ethnic Kachin communities, a report released Wednesday alleged." LINK
"The tiger has lived on earth for almost a million years," said Dr Pellew. "Once its territory stretched from Eastern Turkey to North Korea, from Siberia to Bali.
"Now it is reduced to small and struggling populations in a handful of Asian countries. It remains what it has always been - perhaps the most elegant and revered animal on earth.
"What right do we have to destroy this creature, to eradicate it from the planet?" LINK
