Mystery shrouds dwindling tiger populationNews

Siegfried & Roy successfully exact revenge:

Indian forest officials and state governments have been scandalised at news that there is not a single tiger left in one of the country’s main wildlife reserves...Manmohan Singh, India’s low-key prime minister, has belatedly leapt to the defence of the national symbol, dispatching detectives to Rajasthan and setting up a national wildlife crime prevention bureau. It is almost certainly too late, however, to save India’s tiger economy. [Financial Times]

Not to point fingers, but detectives should take a gander at car seat covers in New Jersey. They need look no further to determine the fate of their precious tigers.

Hmmm...actually I went to the Kanha national park year before last and the people there, including government people seemed to be doing a great job. Some kids in the car ahead of us threw out a plastic bag and these people make them stop, get out and go pick it up. We also saw 3 tigers and 4 cubs overs 3 days!

That cracked me up. That is all.
