Tiger-100,000 - Less than 3,200 tigers exist in the wild today

If wild tigers are continued to be killed, they could become extinct within 20 years.

The Tiger - Panthera tigris, is one of the largest and most powerful predators to stride our planet.

In the usually dispassionate language of science, the tiger is anointed as a "charismatic species" - In other words, an animal possessed of both beauty and rare mystique.

Yet while the tiger is celebrated in folk legends and mythologies throughout the world, its presence on earth is greatly threatened.

Fewer than 3,200 tigers now survive in the wild, and extinction in our lifetime is a real possibility.

FROM

TO

THIS

Traditional Chinese Medicine: "Nearly every part of this cat, from nose to tail ‎ (eyes, whiskers, brains, flesh, blood, organs and more) has been used to treat a lengthy list of maladies.

Tiger parts are purported to heal the liver and kidneys, to cure everything from epilepsy, baldness, toothaches, joint pain and boils to ulcers, nightmares, fevers, and headaches. They’re also used to treat rat bites and laziness and are thought to prevent possession by evil demons. Tiger penis is said to have aphrodisiac powers.

China formally banned domestic trade of tiger bone in 1993. The next year, some Chinese medical practitioners publicly repudiated the use and efficacy of tiger remedies; today, very few pharmacies still openly carry remedies containing tiger products. But the market slipped underground and shadowy networks still thrive.

Though tiger hunting is illegal everywhere, the killing has continued, and in some places, it’s accelerated.

Prices for tigers, dead or alive, continue to soar as populations collapse. Poaching for their bones (and skins) has become a primary threat to their survival."

I HAVE NEVER READ SUCH BS AS ABOVE

Wildife crime is a highly organised and violent business.

It fuels a massive illegal trade that has an estimated value of US$19 billion a year and involves organized criminal networks that are often involved in drugs and human trafficking.

Tigers are poached for their fur, bones and organs (which are sold as delicacies in restaurants) or used in traditional medicines and as status symbols.

The illegal tiger trade is growing because of a claim in Far Eastern culture and Traditional Chinese Medicine that tiger parts can cure human illnesses. This is scientifically unproven.

Claims include that consuming a tiger eyeball will help cure epilepsy; or that tiger bone wine will help cure arthritis.

The demand for tiger skins and tiger bone wine is booming as wealthy businessmen buy these goods to prove their wealth. These products are also used as bribes for promotions within corporations.
