Answer 2

Because the human beings are in greed to show their wealth or bravery. So they kill tigers for their skin and bones and sell it in the markets to get money.

Answer 3

They are disappearing from the wild because of:

• Habitat Loss - Humans are destroying it for farming, logging etc.
• Poaching - Humans are illegally hunting tigers.
• Population Fragmentation - Humans are separating tiger groups.

Tigers are becoming endangered because humans hunt them and use parts of their body: paws, fur, tails, teeth and heads. They use these items for accessories and then sell them overseas and get a lot of money for them and they also poach them for their skin, bones and organs to sell on the black market for Traditional Chinese Medicines. Also because we're destroying their habitats for farms, villages, and the illegal logging industry. This has been happening a number of years now . The physical environment endangers the species because the trees and bush land are being cut away and removed.

Tiger bones and other body parts are used in traditional Chinese medicine for a range of purported uses, including pain killers. When combined with the high prices that furs fetch on the black market and destruction of habitat, poaching for medicinal uses has greatly reduced tiger populations in the wild. A century ago, it is estimated there were over 100,000 tigers in the world; now, global numbers may be below 2,500 mature breeding individuals, with no subpopulation containing more than 250 mature breeding individuals. There is no scientific corroboration to these beliefs about medicinal value, which include:

• The tail of the tiger is sometimes ground and mixed with soap to create an ointmentfor use in treating skin cancer.
• The bones found in the tip of the tiger's tail are said to ward off evil spirits.
• Crushed tiger bones added to wine serve as a Taiwanese general tonic.
• The feet of a tiger, when dipped in palm oil and hung in front of a door, are said to diminish the likelihood of evil spirits from entering.
• Tiger's skin is said to cure a fever caused by ghosts. To use it effectively, the user must sit on the tiger's skin, but beware. If too much time is spent on the tiger's skin, legend says the user will become a tiger.
• Adding honey to the gallstones and applying the combination to the hands and feet is said to effectively treat abscesses.
• Burnt tiger hair can allegedly drive away centipedes.
• Mixing the brain of a tiger with oil and rubbing the mixture on your body is an alleged cure for both laziness and acne.
• Rolling the eyeballs into pills is an alleged remedy for convulsions.
• The whiskers are used to cure toothaches.
• One will allegedly possess courage and shall be protected from sudden fright by wearing a tiger's claw as a piece of jewellery or carrying one in a pocket.
• Strength, cunning, and courage can allegedly be obtained by consuming a tiger's heart.
• Floating ribs of a tiger are considered a good luck talisman.
• The tiger's penis is said to be an aphrodisiac.
• Small bones in a tiger's feet tied to a child's wrists are said to be a sure cure for convulsions.[7]
