Only 3,200 remain in the wild or, according to this article, "less than the number in captivity in Texas."

My question would be, "What the frak are 3,200 tigers doing in captivity in Texas?

I love this part in the article, It SOOO sums up conservationists...

Opinions diverge somewhat on precisely where immediate preservation efforts should focus.

They have no idea what to do.

But there's no debate that the principal initiatives have to encourage more stringent measures to prevent and punish poaching, as well as protecting and expanding the tigers' remaining habitats.

Just more eco-paper pushing and money collecting.

Sad really.
