Tigers are hunted and killed for their fur, sometimes for other things like teeth.
They kill so many a year. Most skin the tigers alive!
Tigers are poached because of the money people can get for various parts of their body on black markets in Asia. These black markets exist because eastern medicine values certain parts of the tiger for their supposed medical value. It is really a shame that these medical practices which have no scientific merit are the cause of such cruelty towards tigers.
