NO, I WOULD NEVER PURCHASE ANYTHING FROM A COMPANY THAT MANUFACTURES MEDICINES OUT OF TIGER PARTS! THAT IS DISGUSTING AND CRUEL!
461 1:11 pm PDT, May 29 Linda Bescript 49 Female Tucson Arizona For people who just want to kill, and without effort. Scary. Unless a zoo can fully accommodate the animal, as it would live in wild, then there's a problem. Hell no!
460 12:45 pm PDT, May 29 Anonymous 32 Female United States   No, it's hideous. Absolutely - in fact, I'd like to see ALL zoos shut down. For the love of God, no.

454 5:48 am PDT, May 29 Shroedinger Watcher 28 Male Europe   I do not like hunting, I do not endorse encourage or listen to such. I encourage the destruction of all hunters their hobbies and anyone who supports them. Ditch hunting altogether. Zoos should not even exist but the greedy ones make up lies to promote zoos. I do not like liars. The only thing I will buy into is destroying these sickos who sell parts of innocents and all their establishments.

451 3:45 am PDT, May 29 Black Tiger Petersen 69 Female Vancouver   No I do not. I think it is outdated and testosterone laden idiotic behavior of RICH with nothing better to do. Their money and time would be better spent saving habitat. Most certainly! Not in a million years, it's idiotic to believe in these "spirit" transfer meds.When the tiger is killed it is dead and lost, period.

441 11:14 am PDT, May 11 Catherine Ibarra 58 Female Carlsbad California No! We must all work together to save our rainforests and our beautiful rare and valuable big cats. All life on this planet depends on each other; that every species depends on hundreds, perhaps thousands of other species to survive within our fragile and invisible network of ecological relationships. No species can be removed without an effect on all the others. we are in now in the midst of a mass extinction. Even if the current rate of habitat destruction were to continue in forests and coral reefs alone, half the species of plants and animals would be gone by the end of the 21st century. If the destruction continues at the current rate, within a few short generations, our descendants stand to inherit a biologically impoverished world in which our humans survival and the survival of the children of all other species cannot be sustained. We must all act now to save our planet. and our children's and their children future. Only by working together we can create a bright sustainable future for the children of all species. Catherine Ibarra; publisher; communiversitymagazine.org Yes; viable zooological preserves should teach a refocusing of our priorities and our awareness of ourselves as part of an incredible living network, and a global society. It has also become essential to human and our planet’s survival. Breeding programs in Zoos should seed and support wild species repopulation. Unless we all become activists in this regard, our children will suffer the fatal consequences of vanishing forests, polluted atmosphere, poisoned water, global warming, and a progressive loss of the essential network of life. No! Criminal prosecution of those who create a commercial demand by offering such items for sale on the Black market is vital to the elimination of poaching by those in desperate economic need.

Save our Big Cats

Do you want to no longer have big cats?
have you ever heard of canned hunts? Zoo's breed big cats because the babies bring in customers! But do you know what they do with the old ones? They sell them to Canned hunt ranches, where people pay big bucks to kill them in cages and save the head and pelt. Leaving the carcass to be eaten by the other animals, or in the case of tigers, sold to the Chinese to be made into under the counter meds.
