无耻印度媒体恶炒，解放军“偷猎上校”名扬天下
今天看《参考消息》提到一笔印度抱怨我军对西藏地区非法猎杀野生老虎很是纵容，甚至有一名上校和满身虎豹皮的“偷猎分子”的合影，难道我军会堕落到这个程度？后来我上YAHOO看了看新闻，又找了一些相关讯信，才发现印度阿三真TM歹毒……唉，这位上校同志的形象在印度媒体的恶炒下，大概已经在西方人尽皆知了……

Tiger-skin market in Tibet flourishing
NEW DELHI - Environmentalists accused India and China in a stinging indictment Wednesday of doing almost nothing to stem the rapid decline of tigers in the wild, saying the big cats will likely vanish completely within a few years without government intervention.
Trade in poached Indian tigers is flourishing across the border in Chinese-controlled Tibet, where organized crime groups sell them for use in traditional medicines, ceremonial clothing and as souvenirs, according to two environmental agencies, which secretly photographed the trade.
Photos shown at a news conference Wednesday showed dozens of tiger and leopard skins openly on sale, while in others, Chinese police officers laughed and posed with people wearing clothing made of tiger skins.
The groups — the Wildlife Protection Society of India and the Environmental Investigation Agency, a nonprofit British-based group — accused the Indian and Chinese governments of failing to stop the trade.
"In China, the police have decided to turn a blind eye to the slaughter of tigers in India," despite tough laws against trading in endangered animals, said Belinda Wright, director of the Wildlife Protection Society of India.
She said India has not put together an effective force to combat poaching after 12 years of talking about it. "It is the politics in India that is killing the tiger, the petty agendas and personal rivalries," she said.
Kalpana Balkhiwala, a spokeswoman for the Indian Ministry of Environment and Forests, which is responsible for tiger conservation, said the ministry had no comment on the report. Chinese officials could not be immediately reached for comment.
Both governments have received copies of the report, Wright said.
Last year, Indian officials were forced to acknowledge that poachers had wiped out every tiger in one of India‘s premier reserves, and that Indian wildlife officials had long exaggerated the number of tigers across the country.
But despite a loud public and official outcry, Wright said tiger protection has not improved.
The U.S. National Fish and Wildlife Foundation‘s Save the Tiger Fund estimates there are 3,000 to 5,000 tigers currently left in the world, said Judy Mills, director of the fund‘s Campaign Against Tiger Trafficking.
However, conservationists believe official estimates of tigers in the wild are grossly exaggerated and that the true figure may be closer to 2,000 — or as little as several hundred.
