Student - 43

Summary:

• His name is Anthony Marr and he is a major environmentalist who is trying to save many endangered species, mainly the tiger.
• "If tigers cannot be saved, nothing can."- Anthony Marr
• He is working on many other species besides the tiger, including the habitat. He told us that he was using the tiger "as an icon".

Opinion:

To start off I am definitely an animal lover so I enjoyed all of his points about how animal cruelty needed to be put to an end. The pictures were beautiful. They were a real eye-opener. Anthony Marr definitely knows what he is talking about. Not at all did he show any sign of being confused or not having an answer for a question that anyone had for him. I real respect that about him. I can�t stand it when speakers come in and someone asks a question and all they says is "Look in this book," or "Just go to the website on the chalkboard." I seriously just want to ask them why they even come in if they don�t even know how to answer our questions. Anthony Marr was different. He always had an answer, and even went beyond that a few times and go into details. The one fact that really shocked me was that someone would pay 500 dollars for a bowl of tiger penis soup. Who would seriously do that?

The only criticism that I have is that there were times where it got a little boring. Don�t get me wrong, the slides were amazing, but at times I got a little too relaxed and just wanted to fall asleep. Especially being there for two periods really made me a little restless. It is understandable, though. He had a lot to talk about. Who knows that that could take up both periods? He did a very nice job and I think that he really thought about what he wanted to discuss with us. I am glad that I got to hear him out! Hopefully, he will continue with his work and eventually a good outcome will come of all his hard labor of love.
