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?
