Good point, very good point. But then, you can't entirily trust governments.Stopper wrote:Will people stop taking the piss, and stick to the original point of the thread?
Personally, while I'm not in favour of preserving tigers in captivity, partly because it leads to complacency on the part of those who are supposed to have the responsibility of preserving wild tiger numbers - such as governments - I feel that keeping a number in captivity is only a sensible safeguard against catastrophe.

I agree that preserving them only in captivity and letting them be killed off in the wilderness is no solution at all, however, I think there is a sufficiently large group of people that is prepared to, and indeed already does, speak up for the preservation of natural habitats where tigers can continue to live and evolve in a way not overly influenced by humans, to prevent governments from growing complacent. Even though these groups might not be located in the same countries as the tigers, they can pressurise their own governments to protest against unethical treatment of tigers and they can raise awareness and even try to convince others to boycott products from this country. Economical warfare has ever been the most efficient kind, and when coming from the basis of society it's most effective, though "warfare" might be too strong a word in this context.Skittles! wrote:Good point, very good point.
