Related: About this forumNot what it seems - Dark side to viral video - Tiger farm
Disgusting - video shows tigers playing in the snow and leaping up to knock down a drone. What isn't explained is the reason for such a gathering of tigers- farming them for so-called traditional "medicine".

I had a warm feeling after viewing it the first time, not knowing the back story. I thought "Thank God, someone's/some people are protecting that beautiful animal". Then that shit about farming them for parts - some people and governments that allow this are disgusting.

harming the pelt with a bullet hole or a knife.. this is probably still going on.. what a world we live in!

but we're just another facet of evilution. The fact that we can save or doom things is no different than the results of an impact by a giant meteor - or a mega-volcano eruption.
