A new report by the Wildlife Conservation Society indicates that wild tiger populations have hit a historical low throughout their range.  WCS has asked the Obama administation to step up to the plate and try to do something about this serious conservation crisis. 

I, for one, find it sadly ironic that–in this country–we are debating the fate of millions of non-native feral cats that kill our native wildlife (as well as spending millions of dollars to keep each and every one of them alive)–when one of the most popular and charismatic of all wild cats may disappear from our planet forever. As far as having misdirected priorities, feral cat advocates really take the cake.
