From the Economic Times (part of the India Times, I think). India’s newfound partnership with China on environment issues has yielded results in the area of tiger protection as well. You can put tigers on a farm for legal parts harvesting and still call it "protection." I don't trust the Chinese government on any issue.

If I were to describe my long time wildlife nemesis, my ultimate dip of dips, I would reach for a nemesis cat, not a nemesis bird. Most gallingly of all, I had actually stood next to someone that saw one, jumping into a tree to escape a Tiger of all things, and failed to see it. One of the great wildlife encounters in my life.

It’s all very well to advocate the should that tigers should not be poached from a reserve in India. The tigers keep wandering out of their reserve and taking cattle from nearby villages, taking what little these already poor people have. Perhaps it would be better to move the tigers to that bigger reserve, or maybe a zoo.
