stop tiger trade!

Humans are really exploitive. We exploit anything, even our own kind. We kill anything to advance our benefits. I realized that tigers are facing tremendous threat of extinction. First, we destroy their habitants. We proceed on to kill them for their skins, bone, meat.. everything.. Now, tiger farm owners in China pressure the government to legalize their trading. This will indirectly legitimatize tiger poaching, should tiger farm is made legal.

We used to have 8 species of tiger. Now, we only have 5 species left. How come these people do not understand that extinction is forever!?!?! It is about time we do something for our fellow earth-mates!

The good news is... China, together with 171 countries of International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES) Convention, have strong consensus on banning tiger trade!
