Well, you guys don't live in "biomes" that contain tigers, or probably any serious predators, so you don't know what a pain in the *** it is to be afraid of them. They don't do **** now. There are only 5000 of them in the wild, mostly in central India. They don't do **** for the ecosystem so who cares. Zoos are fine. But I don't think its a big tragedy if they disappear from the wild.

Do you notice when you try to give me an example of an ecosystem ruined by man, you always bring up Australia? Look at England. They killed every animal there, wolves and bears, etc. a long time ago. It looks pretty good now.

The tigers of the Sunderbans are also notorious man eaters. Those of you who love tigers should go live there for a year, studying the ecosystem. You might start to wonder if it wouldn't be better if they were all just in cages.

dude, First of all tigers live not only in central india but also many other parts of northern and western india and a major part of the Ganges and Bhramaputra delta, the Sunderbans. Let me give you two small examples how tigers help in balancing the food chain which directly helps the humans.
1. Parts of India where the tigers live, major part of the lands are cultivable. Along with tigers there are also lot of deer called "Sambar" which move in herd in these areas. During the harvesting season their number significantly increases and destroys a major part of the crops. This is prevented by most of the tertiary feeders including tigers who manage to keep down the number of these sambars by eating them.
2. The sunderban delta where the Ganges meets the Bay of Bengal is one of the biologically diverse ecosystem. Most of it is fairly untouched because people are afraid of going there because of the tigers. The tigers of the Sunderban are said to be the most cunning and intelligent of them all. Else people would have exploited the whole of the delta region and salt water from the sea would have got more into the interior. Although pochers are still continuing their job of killing the tigers and exploiting the ecosystem.
Other than that there are vaious other ways how they indirectly help the ecosystem which we are not aware of. We might never come to know if there are few more people of the same mentality
who would think that tigers are not necessary

You say being afraid of tigers is worth destroying them. Well every wild animal is afraid of man so by your theory we should be the ones extinct. As for "nothing for the ecosystem...look up the story of the cane Beetle. They had them in I think Australia so they brought in frogs from outside the country to eat the beetles...a pretty minor thing. Unfortunately someone as narrow minded as you thought this up. The frogs had no natural predators since they were poisonous to anything that ate them. Now there are no beetles but every year billions of frogs migrate across the roads causing a squishy mess and quite a few accidents. I think the natural world is best left alone. If people like you continue to act without thinking it wont be long till we are the ones extinct

No animals being made extinct is ever a good thing. There is a delicate balance in our ecosystem - and one thing survives because it uses resources in a certain way. Losing tigers would mean that its natural prey could overtake their habitat, as there is nothing left to kill it. Every time we force an extinction on this planet, we destroy this balance, and everytime we mess with species and their habitats, we screw something up
Ask Australia what they think about rabbits, now that there aren't enough dingos to hunt them? Ask them what they think of the Cane Toad?

What an asinine question. Tigers are ferocious beasts, but they still are part of the food chain in certain parts of the world and are essential to normal biomes in those areas. Did one of your family members get chewed on by one or something?

I wish stupid people would stop breeding - not tigers
