our comments on the killing of five people in one month by endangered tigers in the Sumatran forests.

I think we know the answer. Don't ruin their habitat. The problem is us, human beings. Do we have the will to live in balance with other living things on earth? If "yes", then let's just do it. Easy, isn't it?

Maybe these attacks should be taken as a sign that illegal loggers do not belong in these forests.

The tigers are just trying to keep what is rightfully theirs and looking for a food source after their normal prey has run off.

I have no sympathy for the people who take these illegal risks. It is their choice, and if death by tiger is a consequence, then they have accepted that risk by being there in the first place. Reducing the human population is the first step of any "civilized" society.

It is very simple. First, put all the Sumatran tigers in a cage and second, gather all the corrupt politicians and scandal-makers in another. In this way, innocent people will not get killed and we will get a corruption-free government.

Well, at least if the tigers are eating and killing people it means they are still not extinct!

It's easy. Stay away from the forests. The forests belong to the tigers. We must thank the tigers as they support our "go green project".

What we need to do is stop destroying the tiger's habitat. Tigers will continue to kill us if we continue destroying their habitat and interfering with their food chain. Don't blame the tigers.

Tigers in Indonesia are not prevented from having contact with people. We must separate them from us by preserving the forest as their home.
