yeah well the title pretty much says it all but here it is guys. stuci showed me this last night.
http://www6.comcast.net/news/articles/world/asia/2007/12/23/China.Tiger.Beheaded/ ive gotta say this is one of the sickest things that i have ever heard. words cannot even describe how angry i am. its just plain wrong.

The true test of character is not how much we know how to do, but how we behave when we dont know what to do.

That is horrible. It's hard to think that there are people who believe that tiger parts are so great that they make a pricey market for them. If something like that happened to one of the animals I work with at the zoo where I am, I'd be ready to rip someone's throat out... It's bad enough that people kill tigers for parts in the wild, keepers develop relationships with their animals; they're almost like pets that stay on the other side of some fencing...

Thanks for posting this sora =) This really.... bites my buttons that someone would do that D=< I resisted the urge to use other...... sayings. I can't make people do something, but I can ask. So I ask that people read the article... and take time to think about all the life on this planet.... and what we, as humans, can do to stop these disgusting acts. Because of illegal poaching, trade, and habitat lost, we are losing some of Earth's most wonderful creatures. I'm not just talking about tigers, but all animals. Here is a great site to visit: http://www.wwf.org/. You can read up on these sorts of things, and find ways to help. Again, I'm not trying to make anyone do anything, I just am asking for you to think about it. Thank you, and Merry Christmas everyone.

I wouldn't be surprised if someone who worked for the zoo was in on it. Tigers are BIG cats, even the females weigh a couple hundred pounds, and trying to drag around a dismembered one would probably attract some attention unless the group had a way to go about it quietly, not to mention a convenient way to get in and out.

Joe this is an extremely good point. i never thought of that. i can only hopeits not true because if it is than it just this crime even more disgusting. your right tigers are big cats and would be hard to move...
especially siberians they are the biggest i think....right stuci? 10 feet long i believe and more than 650 pounds.....gah this isjust plain wrong...bet they dont even catch them too....

The true test of character is not how much we know how to do, but how we behave when we dont know what to do.

About two days ago I saw a newspaper story that said that when the authorities investigated they found tiger cubs in the freezer in the ticket booth. So yea the Zoo personnel were in on it! All the authorities did was give them a slap on the wrist and said do a better Job! COME ON! Well thats the Chinese Government for you!

It's sad that people put money first.....some people will do anything for money.....that really is horrible.

Humans are like a virus....

What an intelligent and progressive bunch (of fools).

Imprisonment is too good for them.
