How do you feel about kidnappings?

Awww, that's so sad. More than likely they will kill that beautiful Tiger for its fur, disgusting. I can't imagine where they would even hide such huge animals. And I also can't imagine why no one saw them do this. I hope they do find them safe and sound, although I don't like animals cooped up in cages like the circus keeps them. That's also wrong.

I believe all creatures should be left in their natural habitat, which is why I do not patronize zoos or circuses. Be that as it may, I am also a great believer in using animals for whatever they naturally should be used for, including skinning them for their fur/leather. I have Mohawk blood and my native ancestors believed in not wasting anything. when an animal was killed, the meat was eaten, the bones were used for tools and jewelry and the hides were used for clothing and shelter. Even the entrails had a use. Nothing was wasted. Since human beings are at the top of the food chain, they are given dominion over the animals and it is a stewardship which we must take seriously or we will destroy our world. That said, since humans are the top of the food chain, it is natural for them to consider humans of greater worth than animals. I may be upset over something bad happening to an animal but I will feel worse if it is a human being. Animals are here to be used, and I don't limit that use to killing them for food, etc. Some of them keep the balance in Nature for us and others are just beautiful. The existence of beauty is also something of worth in our world and is a use for some animals. I'm not averse to having a fur coat and don't take offense over someone wearing a fur. I do get upset over poachers who take endangered species and hunters who just go for the furs and throw the carcasses out. It's all a matter of waste. We should not waste our resources. As for this kidnapping...are they demanding a ransom or have the animals just been stolen? How much do we know about the whole story?
