There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

I don't think that photographers are better than anyone here. They only live there and have the chance to take pictures, that is all; I could take pictures of jaguars in my country, but that doesn't make me an "expert" in jaguars, put in eye on this. I am pretty sure that many of us here knows 1,000 times more about tigers than them in they entire "career" taking pictures.
There is a difference between "empiric" knowledge and "scientific" knowledge, and most of them lack (and even attack) this last one. You can defend the opinion of photographers, that is fair, but there is no need to exaggerate they skills.
About the captivity of the tiger, that is a very controversial point, I even remember the words of Dr Charles McDougal, he think (in those old days, at least) that if we most decide between shooting a tiger or put it in a cage (after an entire life in the wild), it will be better to shoot it. This is a deep thought, don't you think? What happen when a wild dominant animal is put in captivity? What are they psychological reactions?
Ahhhh, and before ANYONE here start saying that I am asking to kill the tiger, I am just QUOTING the words of Dr McDougal, that is all, OK? Don't even try to start a debate about this.
