Poachers poach tigers for their skins, furs, and bones. There are different excuses for why they poach. Some poach for the "trophies" they can take home and show as a brag prize. Some poach to make money off of selling these precious parts. Tiger Penis Soup goes for about $500 a bowl. Others poach because they naively think tiger bones ground up and taken as a pill or as an elixer can cure such ailments as arthritis and alzheimers. This has been proven nonsense, but how do you kill a cultural tradition? Full blown education and liberation is how! Laws are made to try to discourage such acts, but they are not consistantly enforced. Could you imagine people taking animals, like your dog, or your cat, or ME and robbing us of our bodies, just to make a name for themselves, or to sell a part of the body (which is rightfully our own) and selling it to people to eat or to wear? Remember 101 Dalmations? Who would favor Cruella Deville? Poachers are the real life Cruella Deville!
Due to poaching, the world has lost the beauty of three sub-species of tigers. A forth sub-species, the Indochinese tiger, is about to go extinct. There is no day like today to start fighting poachers.
