Tigers are being farmed and killed for their: bones, skin or fur, and just for the fun of it. Tigers bones are used to create "Tiger bone wine," which is made by marinating their bones in rice alcohol. Tigers furs are used for accessories or their bodies are stuffed to keep as souvenirs and then there are the dinner parties where tigers are killed in front of the guests as entertainment. According to the Marina Kaufman, creator of the petition, China banned the trade of tiger bone in 1993. Why did they start the trades again? After China announced the ban, not long after were tiger farms created that were supported by two hundred government-supported farms (Kaufman).
This is cruel and I believe inhumane. The governments insists that the tiger farms were just tourists spots, but in reality the tigers were being killed to make wine with their bones, skinning their furs and stuffing them (Kaufman). If you want more information on this petition, click on
