Some of you might have been lucky to get a comment from a few of the more concerned users in this matter. Asking you to spread the word of this important issue, and help save the tigers.
Or the wolves.
Or the...
While it is important to preserve the different species, it has become more clear that only the more - important species have been mentioned. Most of the species that goes extinct has never been mentioned, or have only been mentioned as "the thousand and thousand species that goes extinct".
Or we hear about them afterwards, when the damage has been done, or moments before it is too late.
A Danish comedian made a joke on this. That he was asked to donate money to the last two of a species. He asked why that would be. Would it help them breed or something? No, they should just have a nice life, since one was a male and the other sterile.

So, why is it that the more popular animals get all the attention, while other, possibly more important, but less known animals get no help what so ever?
And, since everything dies, should we even help? Does it even matter to spread the word, when an animal like a tiger is going extinct?

I think the mods are taking advantage of their ability to do whatever they want without consequence. I think that something should be done about this.

I guess that goes for wolves, treefrogs and all the other endangered species as well? At least you care as little about the popular animals as about the less popular. That's a start.

But I DO think people need smacked upside the head if they think any species isnt worth saving.

But is it really worth trying to save a species with some 2000 specimens left? Wouldn't it be better to use the resources on animals we have a bigger chance of saving without freaking up the entire species with inbreeding and whatnot?

Perhaps, but we CAN help, so that should be enough and its not like we actually have a limited resource. In the majority of cases, we helped kill em off, so I believe we have the responsibility of caretaker of this world, since we can bring about the most drastic changes.
Also if we brought tiger populations back up I could munch one down with no bad karma man...

We care for the cute and fuzzy, but honestly notice we're out there to save big and meaningful, too. Tigers, though all cool and pwn looking, aren't really as important to the ecosystem of some areas like, lets say, an elephant. That leaves scientific caring to a minimum, and only left to the people that think they're cool, idol-worthy, or just like animalz. Overall, I feel its better to preserve different habitats or areas and let whatever we have left live there. Snatching up tigers and making them fatarses in a zoo and making them screw each other is fine, but your not preserving a species, just its genetics..
