New Threats For Tiger Reveal

Shocked! shocked! shocked....

I was dumbed when I first read the news of farming captive-bred Tigers for their body parts. It is really pathetic that after knowing the status of Tigers in worldwide, still we are unable to help these magnificent big cats of jungle.

According to a special report published in BBC Wildlife Magazine which reveals that China, a super power of Third World country is creating new threat for wild Tigers. This report talks about China's intention to start farming captive -bred Tigers to meet the global demand for skins and other Tiger body parts.

Chinese government instead of changing their decision, is giving baseless logic to prove their point. Chinese officials believes that this step of theirs will be beneficial for Tiger conservation, which is really ridiculous.

I think this decision of Chinese government will worsen the situation more for wild Tigers and wildlife conservationists. If ‘legal’ tiger parts appear on the market, it will become almost impossible to conduct effective enforcement, and will create incentives to poach.

Not only China, even poachers in India are also brutally killing the Tigers for their skin and other body parts. Organized poaching gangs has emerged in core Tiger terrains like Kanha, Bandhavgarh, Panna and Pench tiger reserves of Madhya Pradesh. A group of at least 260 people from 13 villages in the area are engaged in the crime of slaughtering of Tigers.

So, its the high time that we should raise our voice against the issue of Tiger poaching on a global platform and pressurize various governments to strictly enforce wildlife laws in their respective countries.
