Wil's Rant

The tiger populations have been in decline for years. Some sub-species are already extinct. The situation for them all is now approaching critical mass. For one such sub-species the report states that there are now less than twenty of these magnificent creatures left. I would have to view that number as less than necessary for a viable population. In other words, they are already extinct, they just don't know it yet. Another fine example of human caretaking. There are so many people who are trying to do something about this crime that I could not even count them. The problem is that there are far more people who either don't care, feel that they can't do anything, or are driven by economic considerations to the point that they are prepared to make this sacrifice in their own attempts to survive. We can do something! It must start with education and awareness. The next step is to provide the necessary means to survive for the people whose lives also depend on these same resources and land areas. It's not too late, but it soon will be.
