Set #33 - Textured Tiger s33tiger1

Tiger Fact: Threats to the survival of healthy wild tiger populations include rampant poaching, spurred by the Oriental medicinal trade; over-hunting of the tiger’s prey; and unabated habitat loss from fragmentation and conversion to other land uses.  While the dealing in tiger goods has been outlawed in many markets, this information is not always relayed to the illegal poachers and the destruction continues.
Sometimes, when a bird cries out,
Or the wind sweeps through a tree,
Or a dog howls in a far-off farm,
I hold still and listen a long time.
My world turns and goes back to the place
Where, a thousand forgotten years ago,
The bird and the blowing wind
Were like me, and were my brothers.
My soul turns into a tree,
And an animal, and a cloud bank.
Then changed and odd it comes home
And asks me questions.  What should I reply?
---Hermann Hesse---
