While this is truly sad, it is NOT at all indicative of any other zoo — especially not in the USA, Europe, or Australia, and not even at most Third World zoos. At almost every zoo worldwide, the zookeepers are devoted and caring animal-lovers who would never tolerate this.

That is just sick and people have serious issues. The fact that they skinned a tiger for its furs and other parts is messed up enough but in a zoo??

They’re still backwards. Painfully, selfishly backwards. As long as there is demand there will be people willing to do whatever necessary to fulfil it and I’m not sure what can be done about that.

One almost begins to wonder if it’s a battle worth fighting. We’ve failed so throroughly at protecting so many species on earth it’s tempting to just throw in the towel. What’s the point anymore? Every tiger alive on earth today is in danger of being skinned, tortured in a farm, or imprisoned in zoos of varying quality. The lucky ones require constant protection and are in danger despite that and why? Because we’re guilty and they’re pretty?

Let these idiots kill them off. If we aren’t able to protect them from other humans than we don’t deserve them. Nature’s course seems to involve humans destroying everything we touch. Our guilt and self-loathing compelled us to fight that fact but it’s becoming clearer every year that we’ve failed and should accept it.

It really makes me sick and extremely angry when I read stories like this. Humans with their insatiable greed & apettite and their poisonous minds must not be allowed to treat animals with such cruelty.
I say bring back capital punishment for these bast**d.
Anything less is just not gonna work when money and damand is presented at such magnitude.
