"I love animals but I particularly love cats and to me tigers are an extension of cats, except that you can pick up cats more easily. I like tigers very much and I'm extremely concerned about climate change and how animals are losing their natural habitat, I think it's a major catastrophe.

I want to help the continuation of animals becuase they are disappearing and they are going to disappear more and more. The idea of a world without tigers is a very depressing business." - Rose Wylie
