3 subspecies of tigers – the Bali, Caspian, and Javan tiger – became extinct in the 20th century, and many scientists believe a 4th, the South China tiger, is “functionally extinct”. In India less than 1400 tigers are left. Many laws have been created, but still killing of tigers has not been stopped. In India it is estimated that the tiger is being poached at the rate of 1 per day. At this rate the wild tiger in India will disappear within the next 5 to 10 years unless serious measures are taken to protect it. In China 43% of the population has admitted that they have been consuming product which contains tiger parts.
Actions have to be taken immediately to save tigers worldwide. Avoid taking anything which contains tiger flesh or any part of tigers.
