Both are used as aphrodisiacs of all the things (Tiger Penis Soup!) - why they cannot be encouraged to use Viagra instead is beyond me. This year is expected to be especially bad, for it is the "Year of the Tiger" in the Chinese calendar, and blessedly it wont come back for 12 years. Why do you think I keep going to see and photograph tigers? Because I think, in a generation, you will only see them in fenced off parks, i.e. glorified zoos. People who have not seen animals in the wild, especially the big cats and large herbivores, have no idea of their power and majesty!
