If the modern Wu Sung lets the tiger go free, it is not merely to conform to the letter of an international convention, but because today, when science and technology have allowed human populations to soar, the natural world is easily crushed by mankind, and the tiger's very existence has become precarious. If we fight the tiger now, ours will be the hollowest of victories.
