My Dream in the Year of the Tiger

"2010 is our year!"

"2010 is our year! Nyaa~!"

You got me right. Tigers are facing extinction, unless we do something about it. Or perhaps, unless we stop doing certain things… Tiger liver for dinner, anyone? You get the picture. Now don’t get me wrong- I like the big orange fuzz-balls as much as the next person on the street, but I’m not joining PETA anytime soon.
