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" Sunday. The World Wildlife Fund and other experts say only about 3,200 tigers remain in the wild, a dramatic plunge from an estimated 100,000 a century ago. Do you think there should be some sort of effort to prevent the extinction of the tigers? Why/Why not?

I believe that the preservation of would be a necessary cause because the tiger means so much to many different people around the world. To some the tiger is spiritually related, others see tigers as one of the wonders of the world. The extinction of the tigers would be a historic and sad event causing pain to many different groups of people. In my opinion, it would be a tragedy to lose such a beautiful animal on this earth.
Schuby, you are correct in saying that this would be a sad event. But I don't really believe that it would be too catastrophic. The tiger may have spiritual connections with some people, but they will eventually have to find another animal or object to connect with.
