It is applaudable that these have been stopped en route but such a shame it had to happen in the first place.

That makes me so sad and angry - such a waste of our beautiful tigers for mans greed yet again.

There are laws Rudhu, but the problem is enforcing them. The Tigers biggest enemy is China, it's demand for Tiger parts that drives the poaching.

yes,....its sad. i have seen people who strictly says no to leather products,if every human prefer to do that,poachers would not kill snakes and tigers...

i have heard that in china,they use even the horn of rhinos in sum medicines,this make poachers hunt rhinos driving them to the edge of extinction....

Your right about the Rhinos Radhu, so far this year it has been catastrophic for them the number that have been killed keeps going up, and up. Would you believe that ground Rhino Horn sell for more an ounce than gold, all because people think it has medicinal properties. There is a petition on here to sign for the protection of Rhinos in South Africa, if you would like to sign it. This is the link
