When I grew up, my neighbour had a tiger. I was in a state of constant fantasy that I'll have my own when I was all grown. Aaaaaaaaaaand the government suddenly banned the felid as a pet. It was already endangered. And right now it seems they won't last another 10 years, at this rate
Been a tiger geek, enthusiast and conservationist since I started to work at 21. I had my own salary and decided to use it usefully. I've donated regularly to the tiger conservation fund and even went as far as adopting two tigers.
And I wonder if the tigers I'd adopted are still alive. I've only met one of them. And I haven't flown down there in 4 years. I bet all reserves are empty, already a poacher's paradise. The government is just incompetent. Sometimes I just hate my country of origin

The picture on that page just agitates me.
