I completly agree with Meghana. People who write back that tigers are being kept as 'pet dogs' know little about whats happening globally. Its disheartening to know that some people cannot see beyond their own 'little' horizons. This monastry that Meghana and her husband visited has been covered on National Geographic a few months ago. It all began when a local poacher himself, killed the mother but found her cubs. Sita, Thunder and Storm - were the three cubs adopted by the monastry. Had they not adopted them from the poacher (who would have killed them eventually, thank God some good sense prevailed) these cubs would be dead long ago! So think before you guys speak. There's a lot more than a 9 to 5 job! Tanya Munshi
