Actually - the People of China. 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. In 1977 the Chinese Government put a ban on hunting these rare animals. Approximately 60 odd tigers now survive in the wild making them one of the 10 most critically endangered species of animals.
