My passion in life is endangered species conservation, and many people don't understand that. For those of you who don't get why people try to prevent extinctions, well I honestly don't think you'll ever get it. But maybe some people just aren't very informed about the subject, so I wanted to share this with you, especially my fellow Cincinnatians and Bengals Fans.
1,411 TIGERS LEFT IN INDIA!?! Does this make anyone else sick? I just don't know how we're going to explain ourselves to our kids when they say, "But that animal was so cool! Didn't you do anything to try to save them?"
I've been thinking though, fellow Cincinnatians, Chad, Marvin, Carson, the rest of the boys and Ben-Gals - why don't we do something about this?
When the tiger goes extinct then how powerful will our team mascot look? I'm not sure what I'm proposing exactly, a collaboration between The Cincinnati Zoo and The Bengals Nation maybe? Just imagine what a little Who Dey power could do for this amazing cat! Think about it - Paul Brown stadium has a seating capacity of 65,535 seats. Even an optional $1 donation with the price of tickets could probably raise some pretty serious funds. So who's with me, Bengals Fans?!
Please holler back in the comments section I'd like to know if any other nati people think this is a serious issue. Visit Save Our Tigers for more info on the tiger situation. And if you're not from Cincinnati, but your favorite mascot is also in trouble, we can talk about that too!


:( sad... less than 2000 tigers left in india.

LUV the pic..who is that dashing fellow???? I'm forwarding your blog to Thane Maynard and Heather who I believe will enjoy. She's working @ the zoo and this week got to be there when they put the white tigers to sleep to clean their teeth...she was in awe!
ReplyDeleteHey kelly,
ReplyDeleteThanks for raising awareness about our beautiful national symbol!
Yea, maybe you guys could really do something, 1 dollar from 65000 people would go a long way here.
If you could really do something we could work out a plan with an NGO here!
They are so so majestic!
Check out my facebook album titled "ranthambore"
Keep up the good awareness work!
