This was an email written by me as a reply to my colleagues....on Wednesday, March 31, 2010
Some should be known tiger facts before i get into the original email...
From around 40,000 tigers at the turn of the last century, there are just 1411 tigers left in India . What started as a Royal Sport during the olden times is now a target of Poaching and Depleting Habitat. Our National Animal is fighting for its life!
2009 was the worst year for tigers in India , with 86 deaths reported.
There are 37 Tiger sanctuaries in India . However, 17 sanctuaries are on the verge of losing their tiger population.
Corbett National Park is the oldest tiger park in India . It was created in 1936 as ‘ Hailey National Park ’.
The Kanha National Park ’s lush sal and bamboo forests, grassy meadows and ravines provided inspiration to Rudyard Kipling for his famous novel, The Jungle Book.
Do you want your future Generations to see our National animal in books and photos???
Here goes my reply to a forwarded email from one of colleague....

Believe me....forwarding these mails will not help a single Tiger.
Till date did anyone of you did anything for the street dogs you see everyday. You all might be living in big apartments, your own houses etc. and planning to keep a Labrador, German Shephard (Status symbol you know!!!!)
Did you ever provide shelter/accomodation to a shivering puppy/kitten in winter?
Did you ever even think of it......? May be yes, may be no. Mostly NO.
Awareness and consciousness amongst a mere tribe of Software Engineers is not going to help. Believe me the person who will help is not waiting for your awareness email.
I know what can happen atmost. Dont mind I am being very optimistic, may be after reading the mail you will contribute a feeble sum of your monthly salary for ONCE to an animal welfare organization. You think its DONE????
Did you ever take that SMALL STEP to see a weeping puppy smile from the sense of warmth it got from your shelter in winter cold?
Did you ever give a promise of life (and not a broken limb) to that petty canine? A little effort of yours, could have prevented that casually shooted stonepiece by a neighbourhood kid, make that innocent animal a permanent handicap.
Huh..too much i guess. That should be a 6 Sigma Green Belt OR should acquire 350 IQ points.
We, the Homo Sapiens have made the planet our own regime/kingdom. We call ourselves, the superior most in the animal hierarchy.
Taken granted, God has given this whole planet for us to live. Not a single ant can pass under our nose without prior permission.
You think we can save a single Tiger??? Its an IRONY i feel. Someday these Indian Roadies will be an extinct species. Only Labradors & German Shephards will rule and once again you will initiate this kind of mail for awareness....the count of street dogs, cats or any other so called cute animals are too high now.
Let it come down to 1411 atleast.
Merely not killing them is not letting them survive....we humans need to be truly superior individuals in our own VALUES and inculcate/infuse our next generation to look upon these fellow living beings with love, affection & mercy. May be then we can think of saving a nearly extinct species in the next millenium. I see that is quiet a distant future.
We dont spare a fellow helpless human being, how can we spare a tiger to LIVE.....
