>Legislation intended to increase odds of tigers’ survival in wild goes before N.J. Senate committee
Legislation intended to increase the odds of survival for tigers in the wild and serve as a model for other government agencies gets its first hearing before a New Jersey Senate committee on Thursday.
Sen. Ray Lesniak’s bill would require New Jersey’s tigers to be counted, registered and tracked to help ensure they aren’t killed for their parts.
The Democrat says he hopes to cut into the worldwide trade of tiger parts hastening the animals’ extinction. (Associated Press)
