tiger

watched a nature show on the life and death of one of the last wild tigers in india.
Tyger! Tyger! burning bright / In the forests of the night, / What immortal hand or eye / Could frame thy fearful symmetry?  (Wm Blake)
can you believe ours may be the last generation to know of a tiger in the wild? bruce cockburn sings hauntingly of the beautiful creatures that are going away...

yes, it's big and beautiful, like the panda. as the brit said, we know the facts--what will we say to future generations of its demise?

my high school mascot is the tiger. what will that mean if we let it slip away?
