How the tiger lost it’s stripes

It points out that the tiger problem is pretty complicated. The short answer is that there isn’t any shortage of tigers — they breed very well in captivity, and often need to be put down because of overpopulation. The problem is that there aren’t many places for them to live in the wild — they are big animals that are dangerous to us and our livestock.

Some people have been proposed that any demand there is for tiger parts could be satisfied by captive tigers, and that this would take away the pressure for people to poach wild tigers. Others say that creating a legitimate market for captive tiger parts will create a market that poachers can exploit, and will drive wild tigers to extinction.

It’s certainly true that the overwhelming majority of “tiger parts” sold in the world are fraudulent… As of the time the above book was written, every sample of “tiger bone” captured by the authorities turned out to be something else.

Dont be stupid. The animal was dead. Who cares. Its not like they’re being slaughtered for the market. Animal died of natural causes and the carcass was sold. Grow the f**K up. Christ.

I hope your being sarcastic, or are completely retarded. Whats wrong ?? Well obviously these exotic animals have no medicinal qualities, and by continuing this myth of extrodinary medicine though exotic animals, these animals continue to be in danger. The more readily available you make these solutions, the more people will believe it. For example .. I have a sickness, a sickness that i probably would of recovered from naturally anyways.. but i take tiger soup, and i say the cure is from tiger soup. There are people willing to believe this, and then the demand for tiger soup goes up.
