tigerspirit When man hunts down the tiger, he hunts himself, for when the last tiger has vanished, the forests & clean water will vanish & all we shall eat is a legacy of dust. last month

cristiane It´s awful that people continue hunting any kind of animal, it doesn´t matter for what reason they do this... 3 months ago

chickie We care!!! How can humans be so selfish and oblivious of the beauty that this world brings. We are slowly destroying it at our own expense. At the end, we lose! Spread the word people! 3 months ago

CherylAnn People need to wake up and take responsibility and save other species! Anyone who has any decency at all can see this....unfortunately the world is full of greet and POLITICS run rampant everywhere. I think people have left some excellent comments here, count me in! last year

RajivC I think that it is a tragedy that we continue to hunt and kill these beautiful creatures. From the time of William Blakes poem "The Tyger" to the current time, the tiger's fortunes seems to be declining. This is really sad. We will be a much diminished race/species, if the tiger disappears from the face of the earth. And, we will be sowing the seeds for our own extinction. This is really sad. last year

BobbieJamwal ~ The Man-Animal conflict has led to the decimation of India's Royal Bengal Tiger's. The constant encroachment of land has minimized the Tiger's territory, with more and more villagers eating into the Forest Reserves/land. This has increased the number of incidents of conflict. The cattle are invariably the cause of killing the tigers The Tiger looks forward to easily available domestic prey and this antagonizes the villagers who keep losing their number of heads and their economy takes a beating. The villagers either poison the tigers by lacing the Caracas of the dead cattle or readily help Poachers in getting rid of the Tiger menace. This conflict has been the major cause of loosing India's beautiful animals. Politically the villager gets preference over the Tiger, though there are preventive measures in place. Relocating these villagers to new territories has not helped, as the government has not carried out it's commitments/promises to the villagers who lived of the forest wealth i.e Fuel, Deer/game, Grass/fodder etc., now find it difficult to survive in their new territory. I feel the villagers need to be educated and supported, by providing them with basic amenities, schools, cheaper feed concentrate for their cattle, encourage local Handicrafts/Art, so that they get a regular income from these products and employment is generated.. This will minimize their dependence on the forest and the Tiger will be free to roam in its territory once again. We've committed 500 Cooking Gas Connections/year for a period of 5 years to the Village families around Ranthambore Tiger Reserve, so that they do not enter the forest to collect firewood, which should help in minimizing the Human-Tiger contact... last year

Toni We humans seem to think that the world and it's plants and animals are there for our use and abuse as we like.People have become so indifferent to the envirnment that we have forgotten that without nature we won't survive. We think that we own the planet and will 'defend' our piece of it from outsiders (the animals and plants). I don't think we will suvive another 150 years but whats makes me so sad is that we distroy the future for so many other species as well. last year

AAP We understand tigers are even poisoned so the info has been placed in http://www.actionagainstpoisoning.com/cryforhelp/ go to tiger poisoning any comment - advise and/or correction is welcome - for the animals - for the tigers last year

jpglentz The tragedy is that as long as India is interested only in land and has for instance no interest either to educate their women and children, why do you think they would be remotely interested in preserving their tigers! last year

bbreck Can anyone say birth control? The reason this is happening is that people are encroaching on the tiger's territory. Can't we control ourselves and give other species the space to live? Instead of being just one species in the diverse and amazing array of life on earth, we have become a pestilenc, like locusts, devouring everything in our path. It seems our parents did not teach us to share. If we do not look to the future, we will not have one. last year

Teejay0585 Tigers are such beautiful creatures... Its a shame that people dont respect the earth and its beings. Humans are but another organism on this planet. It is really sad to see people be so cruel and heartless.. All organisms are connected to this planet. Loss of each sp. is like loss of a vital organ disrupting the entire balance and harmony.. When will this be realised... last year
