Please take a moment to read an important article in yesterday's New York Times ("Fretting about the Last of the World's Big Cats") on the reasons for the tiger's plummeting wild populations. It is not too late to save this iconic creature, but it stands once again at the precipice of extinction. Several times the number of tigers in the wild exist in captivity.
Make your voice heard: go to the Mutts comics blog for a concrete list of suggestions for helping this iconic species. Scroll down several news items to: "In the year of the tiger, tigers need you!"
If you are looking for an organization to donate to, my recommendation would be Panthera.org, the big cat conservation organization headed by Alan Rabinowitz, George Schaller, Luke Hunter...
