Tiger, Tiger.
In China they farm tigers. For traditional medicine. I shall neatly side step the question of whether or not powdered tiger bone does in fact enhance your erection and move on to the ethics of tiger farming.
The global rules on tiger farming are pretty wishy washy. You should only breed big cats for conservation reasons.
India’s position is that breeding tigers for medicines is not conservation. It effectively condones the use of tigers for medicines & encourages poaching. They want it banned.
Chinas position is that tiger farming is a commercially viable way of maintaining a large tiger gene pool & it provides a source of legitimate tiger products so reducing the demand for poaching. They want tiger McNuggetts in every city.
Despite millions of pounds being ploughed into tiger conservation, the wild tiger population is about 5% of what it was 20 years ago. The tiger is pretty much certain to be extinct in the wild in the next 10 - 20 years.
I eat cows. I wear leather. Farming is ok. I want Tigers to be around in 20 years. Making them commercially viable would ensure this. But for some reason Tiger farming makes me uncomfortable. Logically it must be ok.
But
But. But. But.
Still, if its going to enhance my erection….

Interesting post, raises a tough dilemma, I just worry about the long term impact on tiger numbers. I want there to be tigers in 20 years.
:-(
Where do you think they get Tiger Brand Coffee from?!?
"Tiger Brand Coffee - It's a real treat, even tigers prefer a cup, to real meat!"
Man, tigers are so wild and strong....I'd hate to think of the techniques one would use to control such a thing.
