        \_ In the wild, or total?
        \_ Only a handful of sensible homo sapiens left on Earth!
          \_ theyre doomed anyway.
                \_ The tigers or the people?
                   \_ And if you're a person born in the year of the Tiger?
                      \_ then I will hunt you for your warm pelt
                         \_ meow meow meow meow
                            meow meow meow meow
                            meow meow meow meow
                            meow meow meow meow

                                   Fools jump out of cars to count dogs and
                                   give tickets to kids for TOO MANY DOGS.
                                   \_ What are you taking?  Me too?
                                      \_ Gosh, I wonder hasn't been reading
                                         the paper for the last year or so...
                                        \_ I read it everyday.  Rather than
                                           the snittish reply you could have
                                           just answered.  Actually, it's
                                           quite likely I was reading the
                                           paper everyday before you could
                                           read but that's not your fault.
                                        \_ stock up on tiger balm while
                                           you still can.

The conservation group said tiger numbers have decreased 95 percent in the past century and only 5,000-7,200 tigers still survive in the wild -- compared with nearly 10 times that many at the start of the century. The report states that despite sustained efforts over the past year, much remains to be done to prevent the tiger from becoming extinct early next century. If governments do not crack down on poaching and eliminate the demand for tiger products, the tiger will be stalked to extinction, says WWF. The group cites illegal hunting for the medicinal trade, loss of prey species, weak law enforcement, poaching, habitat loss and a shrinking gene pool as the other major threats facing the world's tiger population. Congress banning the import and sale of any product claiming to contain ingredients made of rhinoceros -- another endangered species -- or tiger parts. In addition, WWF established a Tiger Emergency Fund, supported the Tiger Conservation Program in India, and worked in the Russian Far East. Three of the eight subspecies of tiger -- the Bali, Caspian and Javan tigers are extinct. The South China tiger faces the same fate as only 20 or 30 are known to remain in the wild, down from an estimated 4,000 in the 1950s.
