The big cats bringing in a roaring trade at Thailand's controversial Tiger Temple (but why are they so docile around tourists?)
"On first glance, you might assume these incredible images of tigers were taken in the wild. The big cats are seen in all their majesty as they playfully frolic in a water pool. However, these photographs were snapped at a sanctuary for orphaned tigers run by Buddhist monks - fast becoming one of Thailand's most popular tourist attractions."

Tiger Nation (Gallery Feature)
"Combining social media with picture ID technology, Tiger Nation gives extraordinary insight to India’s wild tigers, allowing members of the public to work with conservationists on the ground to preserve the population. Tens of thousands of Royal Bengal Tigers in India have been lost since 1900, when up to 40,000 wild tigers lived in its forests. In a stark contrast, India’s last official tiger census announced that just 1,706 tigers are now left in the country. It is estimated that up to 45% of tigers are dying of unnatural causes such as poaching, however, without formal identification; the exact number killed each year would continue to go unnoticed."
Tiger rescue owner shipping cats away
"Even as Ohio lawmakers complete new rules for private ownership of exotic animals, Denise Flores, of Ashland, has moved forward with her plan to ship two more big cats out of the state. Tiger Paw Exotic Rescue Center's youngest remaining tigers, Nora and Katie, 10 and 7, respectively, will depart to Wildcat Haven in Sherwood, Ore., in May."
Elusive Indian tiger finally captured in Uttar Pradesh
"A tiger in India that ventured too close to human habitation and avoided capture for more than three months has finally been caught in the state of Uttar Pradesh, wildlife officials say."
Valparai tiger loses battle
"The tiger that entered a homestead in Valparai and got gored by a cow died on Saturday morning. A postmortem on Saturday evening linked its death to a bad meal the big cat had a few hours before it went to retrieve the remains of a previous kill it left behind two days ago in the cowshed. "
Injured tiger brought to Nagpur for treatment
"The full-grown tiger that got injured in jaw traps set by poachers and was rescued on Friday was brought to Nagpur for treatment on Saturday at 11am. A sub-adult tiger had died in the same incident that took place at a water hole in the Palasgaon range on the outskirts of Tadoba and Andhari Tiger Reserve (TATR) in Chandrapur district."
Tiger, panther census from May 1
"To generate data on the tiger and panther presence in the State, the Andhra Pradesh Forest Department would be initiating a week-long census starting May 1. Apart from enumerating the carnivore, the exercise plans to make an estimate of herbivore abundance at different sanctuaries and national parks."
Progress in work to protect rare tigers, leopards
"Thanks in large part to the work of China and Russia, the population of Siberian tigers and Amur leopards is rebounding, said Jiang Guangshun, a leading expert with the World Wide Fund for Nature. "Because of the countries' protection efforts, Siberian tigers are frequently seen around the border between China and Russia," said Jiang, who has studied tigers for more than 20 years."
Adilabad tribals oppose tiger reserve in Kawal
"Several tribal groups are raising a hue and cry against the declaration of the Kawal Wildlife Sanctuary in Adilabad as the second tiger reserve in Andhra Pradesh. The population of tigers in the state has dwindled alarmingly in recent years and has reported to be anywhere between 72 and 100."
Tiger conservation body member calls for heightened surveillance to prevent poaching
"National Tiger Conservation Authority member-secretary Rajesh Gopal visited the tiger poaching site at Palasgaon range on Saturday. Terming the incident as unfortunate, he instructed officials to enhance surveillance and strengthen intelligence gathering to prevent such incidents in the future. A sub-adult tiger died while a full-grown one was injured after getting stuck in traps laid by poachers on Thursday."
Zoo plans cross-breeding of tigers
"Zoo authorities in Vandalur are moving towards strengthening the gene pool of both Royal Bengal Tigers and White Tigers in captivity by facilitating breeding between the two sub-species. At present, the zoo houses three Royal Bengal Tigers and nine White Tigers. The breeding of White Tiger has so far taken place within the white tiger group. This habit of in-breeding leads to genetic weaknesses, which ultimately will be passed on from one generation to the other, said K.S.S.V.P. Reddy, Chief Conservator of Forests and Zoo Director."

on the last articele: ..."strengthening the gene pool of both Royal Bengal Tigers and White Tigers in captivity by facilitating breeding between the two sub-species." - As if! They are the same subspecies and a totally inbreed (white) line should not be mixed with a healthy line. They should not have separated the breeding judging from color in the first place, but health and pedigree of the total individual number of the subspecies they had.
