White, Black & Golden Tigers

[tigerluver]

The image stands with Corbett's reliable testimony. That is proof. We'll never agree here, as you are skeptical of Corbett.

You should know that the captive breeding I refer to is surely not Harbin. That's insulting. Harbin is a tiger farm. The programs I refer are those that brought the przewalski's horse back, the Smithsonian program I work with, those type of reliable, honest to the cause programs.

Finally, yes I have a bleak outlook. Hunting is down, it is great. But deforestation is at an all time high. India is doing ok. But you are forgetting the rest of the world. Indonesia is going through deforestation at a rate unmatched. Oil drilling is starting to become a problem, just look at the Virunga dilemma the WWF is trying desperately to salvage. Man's dropped one bad habit just to pick up another. It's not getting better for the most part in third world countries. Take a look at Indonesia as a microcosm:

First world countries are poor representations for the rest of the world. I've first hand experience, I'm associated with both first world and third world countries. People could care less when they're financially struggling. The focus in third-world areas is increased roads, railroads, cities. That is their definition of progress. And that's why we are here today in this dilemma. Alas, this is not for this topic, so let's not discuss this point any further.

Edit:
Simpy reread my post. You are answering with what you think I'm saying, not what I actually am. Read my last point, captive specimens are not a focus. I shouldn't be repeating myself over and over. Then, you disregard my rebuttal to your "evidence" of a poaching increase, etc., which is just propositions as well. What major evidence are you providing other than your opinions? Guate set the stage with tons of evidence, which I'm working off of. Reply
