tiger Extinct, India loses pride
by Sharang Managoli on May 06, 2008 01:31 AM

If tiger will be extinct, then India will lose a major iconic symbol, the eaquation is as simple as that.
about 80% Forest officials are corrupt and that's why tiger killing is so easy for poachers. Countries like China have demand for Tiger parts for their traditional medicines, which I think is totally meaningless, and indian poachers are simply killing Tigers to provide CHina and neighbors with what they need.
Strict punishment should be imposed on Poachers. In the past a poacher name Sansar chand was captured with more than 1000 animal Skins and was kept in prison for 10- 20 days. Such law will encourage poaching even further.
Please save the Tiger.
