Why do people poach tigers? These poachers have these so-called beliefs that the tiger's brain will cure pimples and laziness, the tiger's whiskers will prevent toothaches, the tiger's nose will cure epilepsy, and even the the tiger's PENIS are made into a soup as an aphrodisiac! This results in more than 60 tigers killed in the last 10 years in Sumatra, and 8.700 pounds of tiger bones being imported from Indonesia to South Korea! And remember, these so-called treatments are completely unproven by science and have absolutely no real medical value. These poachers are just COMPLETELY nuts!

True, but I guess it's the people who want these products who are nuts - not the poachers. The poachers are just doing it for the money. So we need to think about how can we educate people to use other products not made from tigers.
ReplyDeleteWhat will the South Koreans do with the tiger bones?
ReplyDeleteYes I agree with you miss rachel. If the customers stop wanting these products, the poachers won't kill anymore tigers. But we can also blame the poachers for that, because if they don't want to do any more poaching, this issue will stop. But this issue starts from the people who wants the product.
