Quote:
Wild tigers could become extinct in 12 years if countries where they still roam fail to take quick action to protect their habitats and step up the fight against poaching, global wildlife experts told a "tiger summit" yesterday.

The World Wide Fund For Nature and other experts say only about 3,200 tigers remain in the wild, a dramatic plunge from an estimated 100,000 a century ago.

There are no Korean tigers left. They went extinct a long time ago. The rest are soon to follow. It's really sad. In my opinion we could use more tigers and less people.

So what you're saying is that we should start feeding surplus humans to the tigers?
