Patrick Barkham discusses the severely diminishing numbers of tigers world wide and what is being done to solve this problem. Poaching is on the rise due to the sheer value of tigers, and the upcoming summit to deliberate over various solutions may not be taken seriously by significant leaders because of lack of initiative by countries who have the largest tiger population issues.

Barkham is definitely pro environmentalist. He is writing this article in favor of protection of the tiger.

It is so sad that humans are killing off these creatures. Sadly, these creatures are being murdered for illegal trade. They are going to have a Tiger Summit meeting to discuss this species on November 21st, and hopefully they can think of ways to save them from dying off. The author is definitely biased towards pro environmental because he makes it clear that he thinks this behavior is horrible.
ReplyDeletePeople should not kill these animals. However, it would be hard to control poaching because many of the tigers life in developing countries and they are very valuable. It would be very bad if the became extinct because they are important predators, so, if they are killed off, other animals that used to be their prey will probably increase in numbers and begin to cause new problems.
