The Indian naturalist Kahlashi Sakkhala wrote: the tiger “is a creature of hypnotic power and fascination. The more one sees of this beautiful beast, the more one is charmed by its gorgeous color, the vivid pattern of the stripes on its glossy skin, the strength of the muscles and the grace of the tiger's movements.

Mark Magnier wrote in the Los Angeles Times, “In India, the tiger is considered a national treasure. Durga, the powerful Hindu goddess, rides a tiger, while Shiva, the god of destruction and regeneration, sits on a tiger skin. But not everyone is enamored of its stripes."

"They always say they are not against the tiger, but the moment you believe them, you are finished." [Source: Mark Magnier, Los Angeles Times, September 8, 2009]
