source: Jackson News Tribune | Mar 07, 06 | submitted by Ryan

New Delhi, India - The Dalai Lama, Tibet's spiritual leader, has thrown a lifeline to India's dwindling tiger population after an emotional appeal to outlaw the trade in animal skins provoked an extraordinary reaction in his homeland.

All over Tibet, there have been reports of people burning wild animal furs since the Dalai Lama, the Himalayan region‘s exiled god-king, made his appeal at a Buddhist prayer meeting in southern India in January.
