Farewell Tigers


It angers and disgusts me to read the title of my blog - "Farewell tigers"! Do I intend to bid them a final adieu, or am I praying for their safety and well being on this last leg of their journey? I fail to decide my real intent.
Is anyone hearing? I see slogans on walls in Bangalore "Tiger on its last leg". I see newspaper articles urging people to see reason, generate awareness...save tigers. I wonder whether poachers have the time to read newspapers or see television or worst read my blog.

I sincerely pray that people have a heart and save the remaining 1411 tigers left in India. Let's do whatever it takes.

I hope the next generation will not have to read books in school which say "Tiger was our National Animal - we did nothing to save them. We killed them all".
