I propose to save the tiger by making use of their homing abilities and turning it into a sport. Teams of tiger-fanciers will raise them from cubs and compete to see whose tiger can race across a continent in the shortest time. To make it more interesting, bonus points will be awarded for the number of other major predators they eat en-route.
For months, the tiger has been roaming the region, preying on Himalayan black bears, crossing a highway, traversing a railroad track, and bypassing several small towns. He walked nearly 400 miles south, where he was spotted just outside of his old stomping grounds, Vladivostok. This time around, however, Vladik seems to be exercising more caution and keeping a lower profile.
