I know what you mean – I would have liked to see the tasmanian tiger somewhere live, instead of just one tortured individual in a shaky black and white film.

There is a contradiction though – we want cats, and we want people. In some places there are simply not enough space and forest left for them, and conflict is inevitable. In the long run, people tend to win.. it is sad, yes. And the next best solution is zoo and wildlife parks like this one.

I do believe in the power of change, though, so I suppose instead of angrily complaining about it, I could do something about it. There was a tv show about a group of people who made a trip to some other country where the townspeople were killing cats, since the cats were eating their livestock. What they did is they educated the people about the cats, and they also introduced other food sources so that the big cats would stop killing the people’s livestock, and therefore the people would stop killing the cats. And it worked. And the cat population there rose.

It just reminded me that there are solutions out there, and if we all try to do what we can, maybe we CAN make a difference. Don’t mean to sound cheesy – but I’m serious.
