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?

Yet, they say, they believe that if they can pass the bill, they can sell it too. Once voters can look beyond the messy political process and dealmaking that it took to get this far, they may once again be able to focus on the actual substance of the legislation, which still enjoys broad support...
