Yes.
Ancient Chinese Medicine believes that Tigers body parts have medicinal properties. Because of this Tigers were killed extensively and indiscriminately. Because of this, they were pushed to near extinction. India, China and all neighboring countries where the Bengal Tiger lives have banned hunting and so, the tiger population is slowly recovering
Even though countries have banned hunting tigers, poachers kill tigers once in a while. on an average 15 to 20 tigers get killed by poachers. They kill these animals to sell them in the Chinese black market
