Shame on the human species !

Eleven rare Siberian tigers, starving and kept in small cages, have died at a cash-strapped zoo in China, heightening concerns about conditions at wildlife facilities in the country, where activists say profiteering off the carcasses of endangered species sometimes drives over-breeding.The deaths of the tigers occurred in the past three months at the zoo in the cold northeast. Reports said the tigers starved to death, having been fed nothing but chicken bones, although a zoo manager said unspecified diseases killed the animals during the harsh winter.

Siberian tigers are one of the world's rarest species, with an estimated 300 left in the wild, 50 in China. But about 5,000 are held captive on farms and wildlife parks across China.

The deaths underscore the conflicting signals in China's attempts to save its dwindling number of tigers. While extensive conservation efforts are under way, animal protection groups say zoos and wildlife parts may be deliberately breeding more animals than they can afford, hoping to sell off the carcasses onto a black market where tiger parts fetch a high price for use in traditional medicines and liquor.

So thats where we are.

We can recreate organs in a lab with DNA but we still believe that "supernatural powers" will come over us when we drink or eat pieces of physically potent species. Some of us are mentally ill. Clearly.

Let's stop regenerating ourselves please as we are clearly degenerating rather than enhancing our species. Let the tigers, elephants, rhino's and other beautiful creatures return back to the wild. Lets restore nature's chain of command on this planet and hope it will redress the human species at the same time. Because the strong eat the weaker, so the mentally ill amongst us can be weeded out....shame on us !
