This Is So Sad And Sick

I'm not sure I put this in the right place but here is this horrible story about a Tiger that was beheaded, limbs cut off, and skinned at a zoo.

China is one of the worst environmental terrorist nations in the world. Right there with Japan. (Yes we are as well). Anyway, I read a story a ways back that a ship was found abandoned on the South China Sea, it was an ark of exotic animals and parts destined for the dining regions of the southern coast of China, renown for exotic dining. It is a cultural divide, but some things should be enforced.

It's worse than they're reporting. If someone broke into a zoo to get a tiger skin that tells me how hard it is to find wild tigers. China may have no tigers left other than zoos and no one yet realizes it.

"Wild Tigers"! sounds oxymoronish to me already. I know I get hyperbolic at times but I still say there are too many people and not enough tigers.

It is really sad. And I'm sure Heretic is very close in his reply. Many of the shows you see of these "wild" animals are actually filmed in zoos.
