Besides their pelt and bones, tiger meat is also highly valued. Of course, I cannot condone poaching for personal gain. Like mentioned in the article, perhaps killing a tiger purely out of self-defence may be acceptable, but that does not seem to be the case with the majority of the killings.Alderonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13158739689049783352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2026716275441302104.post-87705297530756615332013-02-07T06:18:54.078+07:002013-02-07T06:18:54.078+07:00It hurt to read that 166 Sumatran Tigers left on ...It hurt to read that 166 Sumatran Tigers left on the island of Sumatra becasue the tiger has always been my favorite big cat and like you said it is going to be wierd showing my kids google pictures of my favorite oragne and black striped cat. Although they are a danger to villagers, there is a big difference between killing them for the safty of ones family and poaching them for money. But in 2013 there are ways to protect yourself from attacks without harming the tiger. How do you stop a world wide job such as Poaching when it orginates from mankinds instinct and first way of servival?<br />-Mr. BlakAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2026716275441302104.post-62214139044032975052012-09-06T03:01:49.696+07:002012-09-06T03:01:49.696+07:00Hunting and killing animals for sport or financial...Hunting and killing animals for sport or financial gains is a horrible act against nature and really angers me. There might have been a time in the past when some of these animals were a danger to the human populations trying to survive in a wilderness habitat and needed to be killed to protect the family but those times are long gone and there is no reason today to bring harm to these beautiful creatures. Most of these animals live in a protected area and the killers are illegally and criminally doing crimes that should have higher punishment. But these wild animals are not the only ones suffering. I cry when I watch the poor domestic animals shown in the Humane Society commercials. Why are we such a heartless species and maybe that is the reason why we are being tested during this time of natural disasters to see if we deserve to co-exist on this planet.Wade K.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2026716275441302104.post-76117983742866323172012-08-31T17:13:56.464+07:002012-08-31T17:13:56.464+07:00"I also get a little sad when I imagine mysel..."I also get a little sad when I imagine myself telling my children "we used to have these things called tigers....'" Sadly, I think of the same thing when I hear of endangered animals. These are creatures of true power and beauty and it will forever leave me pondering, "Who has the balls to mess with these animals, let alone KILL them?!". The dollar, in whatever culture, has gotten a hold of one too many individuals that think that money overpowers wiping out whole populations of wildlife. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
