I don't see why I should care. Tigers are awesome to look at yes, when they aren't mauling you to death. Other than that I don't see how this effects me.

bdizzle said:Sigh....more fake outrage. To all of the people calling for the death of poachers and saying fuck humanity, have you ever done anything to help tigers? Are you going to do something to help them now?
So many arm chair militants on the Internet nowadays.
Speevy said:You do that. Let me know how it works out.
Tigers are not underdeveloped. They're not dying because of starvation or lack of survival skills. They're actually some of the most highly developed predators in the stealth department.Veidt said:If tigers are too underdeveloped to survive, than nature will terminate this experiment, and make a new species that will do just that. Perhaps even more exotic!

You have people in this thread saying kill the poachers, and kill the people who say they don't give a fuck about the tigers. Judging by the hyperbole yes, if they cared as much as they're pretending to, they'd jump their ass on a plane or at the very least give ten bucks a month to greenpeace. But theyll never do that because in reality they really don't care. It's no different than people crying over pollution and who won't recycle, or people botching about global warming and won't ride their bike to work, car pool, or take public transportation.Johnlenham said:Yeah but you can use that argument on pretty much anything. What can average internet age Joe do exactly? not like II can say "cmon everybody lets help the tigers!" and fly my ass to India to catch poachers and destroy the deforesters camp-sites is it?
Donating money, making a huge fuss about it in the media and people with relevant experiencing going to help the cause directly are about the limit of it..
Just curious, what have you done?Azuran said:I do.
Fuck poachers and everyone who supports their shit.
Dever said:That sucks. I wonder if there's anything we can do to stop this, other than donate to WWF and such. Although...
Does anyone else ever think, that for humanity to start taking the preservation of endangered species seriously, we might need a martyr? Imagine if it was announced tomorrow that there are no more pandas living in the wild. The only pandas left would be the ones we've preserved by sort of deep freezing them, in zoos. The uproar would be pretty immense, I'd imagine. The extinction of a cuddly, lovable species would make it a posterboy for the effect humans are having on ecosystems. No one cares about dodos or some other species they've never heard of. I'm just wondering if that would do any help, since the way it's looking now, that situation seems pretty imminent(Not necessarily for pandas).

I think it is for the Panda (or maybe lifetime imprisonment).Zzoram said:Why isn't poaching punishable by death for internationally recognized endangered species? Ideally with a cash reward from the WHO if you can provide evidence that they were poaching (ie. photographs, turn over their equipment) to encourage a healthy poacher hunting industry.

Yes. I have a fantasy of battling a tiger with my bare hands at my physical apex before my body starts to degenerate. Since I'm only 23, that won't happen.astroturfing said:would it be your "favorite animal" face to face?![]()

Raguel said:Jesus christ, I don't know what's more depressing: the fact that such a majestic species is going extinct or the many many amounts of complete utter selfish idiots in this thread. Here's something I hope some of you morons realize when you grow up: just because it doesn't affect you doesn't mean it won't affect somebody else. It's selfish nihilism of some you people that makes this world such a bad place. "It doesn't affect me so who care." So hardcore. Such rebels. Some of you don't even understand basic ecology and natural selection. God. What is happening to Neogaf...

RustyNails said:So don't blame Tigers for their own extinction and shift the blame from external factors. They're not fuckin dodos.
The problem was that the dodo was also too stupid and had no fear of humans, making it even easier prey. Plus they were all stuck on one island.Mudkips said:What, exactly, do you think happened to the dodo?
Protip: It was destruction of habitat, hunting, and introduction of other species. All by humans.
