...next task is restoring the wilderness. Tigers need large habitats and abundant food; just one tiger will eat up to 12 pounds (5.4 kg) of meat a day, the equivalent of a large deer every week. Creating a tiger Eden virtually from scratch feels a bit like playing God, admits Tilson, but restoring the prey (mainly deer) will be "real easy," since all these species once lived in Hupingshan-Houhe in numbers that supported tigers. "We're not trying to reintroduce a bunch of animals and predators into a system that never had them before," he says...
...kept on farms across China. The recent SFA directive pledged to better regulate these farms, but not to shut them down. This makes a mockery of China's avowed concern for tigers, say many conservationists. The farms ostensibly make their money from tourists, although some illegally sell tiger meat and parts. How can the same SFA officials who plan to save the South China tigers ignore the fate of thousands of their farm-raised cousins? The authorities argue that if public demand can be met by farms then wild tigers won't be poached. But conservationists believe these same facilities...
...Tilson opposes tiger-farming - "The day I see tigers on meat hooks is the day I'm gonna die" - and says many of his SFA colleagues privately oppose it too. He believes that official and popular attitudes in China toward conservation are changing so fast that the country's past record is a poor guide for future actions. "That was then," he insists. "This is now." What China does next could decide whether this is a Year of the Tiger worth celebrating...
...change (from A Couple of Dicks) and felonious reviews (a 20% score on Rotten Tomatoes). In third place, with a solid $16.5 million, was the horror remake The Crazies. After months of female-angled hits, the guys returned to dominate the movie market by seeing a bunch of red-meat pictures. This was the first weekend that R-rated films filled the top three slots since Aug. 28-30, when four gorefests reigned: Final Destination, Inglourious Basterds, Halloween II and District 9. (See TIME's review of Shutter Island...
...movies: Heat, Training Day, Jaws, Schindler's List, The Color Purple and finally Willis's own Die Hard. (Willis says, "I've never seen that one.") If the riff is Smith's contribution, it's both a testing and a flattering of his fans, and maybe a peace of meat for the Keviphiles to munch on while enduring the rest of Cop Out. What the film quiz does is reveal too much about the picture. Morgan plays a cop who knows police work only through cop movies, and that's exactly the way Smith and the writers know policemen...
