I am grateful to you for raising the cause of the death by starvation, of the Tiger cubs. I am afraid, though your cause was just, the questions were very badly phrased. You were lucky enough to get some replies though. I am posting a few points in the larger public interest involved.
1. To begin with, sometimes you need to use sobriquetes like "National Animal of India". This makes a lot of difference and can generate more interesting that simply tiger. 2. Quote the Wild Life Protection Act 1972 and others. You may note that it was the then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, who had herself issued a personal order for the protection of Tigers. This happened during the Silent Valley issue. This order still stands. 3. When ever you ask such questions of National Importance, never forget to quote the Constitution of India. For example Article 48 A which ensures protection of environment and wild life. While 51A makes it obligatory to respect Nationl Symbols (here again its the Tiger) in addition to have campassion for living creatures. 4. Also encourage more citizens to ask such questions of National importance. The more the merrier. I am sure you get the point.
