Preventing the Extinction of the Beautiful Tigers

They still wander with caution and fear in the remote swamps and grasslands of India and Siberia, and these carnivorous animals are the beautiful tigers. They are trapped, poched, killed and their soft furs are shipped overseas for huge profits, but their sad end is drawing near, unless some caring human really gets involved and acts. Their life span is shorter in their natural habitat, struggling for food and those caged in zoos have a longer life expectancy...they never experience those hunger pangs in early noons. They are an extremely hostile species, ready to devour anything that has flesh and blood. Does anyone wonder why they react so indignantly, don't they fear of being taken and sold? When tigers are attacked, they fight back and killing they prevent their threat of extinction. Do we all realize their animosity for the huntsmen, who chase them and shoot them down? Let's all feel some compassion for them...let's save them and give them freedom and dignity. Let them roam freely as they did once in South Asia, living in full accord with humanity.
