To: India's Prime minister,President
A PETITION TO SAVE INDIA%u2019S NATIONAL ANIMAL
TIGER, tiger,
burning bright
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?......
Who out of us has read these lines by William Blake and not felt awe for Indias National animal, the mighty TIGER. But do we want but only a fleeting memory of a once magnificent animal?
The Tigers future is in danger, and it is up to us to save our wildlife and our forests. In return we will be insuring our own future which is intrinsically linked with that of the Tiger.
According to a latest survey, the tiger numbers have reached an all time low .A lot needs to be done to stop poaching, deforestation and encroachment into tiger territory, which are the main causes of decline in tiger numbers.
India needs its Tigers and we demand urgent action in the national interest and will of the common man. You and I are the Tigers last hope. India's history has seen its share of signatures in blood promising their lives for the honour of our country. We only ask for support to uphold the very existence of our national animal and to ensure its role not only in history but also in our future.
SAVE THE TIGER, SAVE YOURSELF!!
So, just take a moment and conjure up an image of the great Tiger and hold it in your hearts and your minds because there are a few things in life which are as breathtaking.
Sincerely,
RADHIKA BHAGAT
