Restoring a viable population of tigers to southern China may be harder than putting a man on the moon, but if humans have a built in desire for sweetness that has set apple trees blossoming across the hills, we may also have a scarcely understood need for beings larger than ourselves; creatures who may make peril from time to time, but who also sustain mystery; hunters we relate to, fear, and admire; predators we can never fully claim as our own. Tigers should be granted the right to roam the hills in rough cover beyond the orchards, if for no other reason than to free us from the solipsism of endless self reference by reminding us that we too could be eaten, especially when the world that we make falls out of harmony with the universe that we inhabit.
