Save tigers----Save the poor

I have seen South Indian actor Surya, Baitchung Bhutia, Dhoni etc. coming up on TV sets & speaking about Save Tigers initiative...I was moved & logged on to their site to check what was it all about..To my surprise i understood that this years advertising budget is a big knock off!!! I followed their site which says about the existence of tigers in several parts of India which you could easily find out easily from other government sites & had statements trying to inculcate proactiveness to support their societal marketing drive...I dont understand how can we save tigers if we dont come across it...Did that mean we are all poachers????
Their site had a column where we can donate some amount to WWF(World wildlife federation)..Even that was skeptical....Should we contribute money to save tigers or sould we contribute money to help the poor & underpreviliged people for their daily bread????? Ramkumar

  1. I agree with you Ram but may be the money contributed by us can go to organizations who could be engaged in saving tigers...........

  2. I think tat should be taken care by government because the passage of money is not transparent...I mean we dnt knw whthr the money would be used to save tigers or hippo's in some other nation.... People should be logical enough to donate money in some blind/orphan schools rather than to tigers...that was my point

  3. I have understood your point but if we consider the transparency of the movement of money,it is neither in the donation of money to orphan schools nor to the organizations who are responsible to save tigers. My point here is that if u are willing to donate, then donate it without considering these issues!
