What would our world be like without tigers?
Survivor's 1982 hit Eye Of The Tiger would have never become the theme to Rocky, nor topped the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart for six straight weeks upon its release. Without tigers, the song would be Eye of the, which is significantly less powerful.
Without tigers, who would grace the box of one of my favourite cereal boxes, Frosted Flakes? Tony the Tiger is what made this cereal Grrr-eat, and without him Frosted Flakes is just another corn flake cereal. Tony the Tiger is a cereal icon.
Tigers have become our lovable sports team mascots. The Hamilton Tiger-Cats wouldn't have the same team spirit without these magnificent cats. Without tigers, they wouldn't even be able to call themselves Tiger-Cats, it would just be Cats, which doesn't have the same edge in football.
And who can forget the bouncy, lovable Tigger from Winnie the Pooh? Children would never hear all the wonderful things about tiggers, er tigers. Winnie the Pooh and Tigger Too, would be just Winnie the Pooh. I'm pretty sure he'd be lonely.
Without tigers, the world would be a different place. So as much as we feel protecting our tigers doesn't involve us, it does, because tigers are a part of us in one way or another.
I don't want future generations to live without tigers. Do you?

Very cute and insightful. Where would Pooh Bear be without one of his besties, Tigger?
Hello from Malaysia, Karolina
Today its "Earth Day" ... already.
Hmm... Hamilton Tiger-Cats ... Toronto Argaunauts, that was those days. Studied in Toronto way back in the eighties (1980-84). Wow that was 30 years ago. My eldest daughter is about your age.
Anyway visiting you across the oceans, due to the Tiger Blogfest 2010.
Yet yearning to be back there ever since, and this TMIC-Tiger Marathon in Cyberspace really are getting much more interesting. I reached you as site #88.
Do visit me, although some of my post are in the Malay language.
Best Regards, rambling of an old man.
