Very true.
They, like the SA ones are however mostly 'Hybrids', mixed 'race', ie. from different locational strains, and thus discriminated against by the Mainstream Animal Conservation groups as not worthy of being released into the wild tiger areas as they may contaminate the blood lines. Racism exists for animals too. Personally, I'd release a few into the Rockies near the elk areas and see what happens. Add some spice to the lives of the hikers. Might teach the local cougars and griz a few things about the food chain too.
Wolves might get better press...
