Forever Tigers - Plight of the Tiger (1237 words)
Tigers, Panthera Tigris, the largest of all living felids, have for millennia inspired awe and terror and been a living symbol of power and virility throughout their native Asia.
Tigers were hunted by the British in India (often in “canned” hunts wherein a single tiger was trapped, surrounded and then “hunted” by a British nobleman or official shooting from the safety of an elephant’s back) by Soviet soldiers from the near-by base at Vladivostock in Siberia, and by the Chinese.
Tigers are an important national and cultural folk symbol and the PRC continues to claim that it harbors extant tigers.
