[GuateGojira]

Both are sad news, from my point of view:

1. Asian lions: The Gujarat government is not going to move any lion, that is practically a fact, and taking in count the slow action of Indian authorities, I don't see any Gir lion in any other part for a long long long time. It is interesting to read that the two lions that were moved catch infections very fast. This is the major concern on the Asian lion conservation, they have such a low defenses in they body, caused by inbreeding, that any single infectious disease can kill the entire population. Gir lion population seems secure, for the moment, but if they are not relocated in another part, the future of this lions, in the long therm, seems in danger.

2. Amur tigers in China zoo-park: This has been one of the largest lies on conservation, all these Chinese parks that "conserve" and "breed" tigers, for what???? They have not released a single tiger in the wild in all this time. It is a shame that no one can see that this are "tiger farms". They only breed tigers to sale them, like chickens! Check Harbin, with a large tiger population and mysteriously, not a single corpse is burn or destroyed, all are storage for future sales, that is sure.

What I see with these two news is how far the human selfishness can reach. In one place, the greed can kill the last population of the Barbary-Indian lion in the world, while on the other place, the breeding of tigers for economic purposes only feed the terrible hunger for tiger products in China.
