Save Tigers
Recently I happened to watch a commercial which wasn’t meant for commercial purpose but for our tigers which are under constant danger of being diminished from mother earth. Their existence is under great threat. By whom? Of course, by us, the humans, who are killing tigers for what? nails, skin and body parts to make medicines to increase human potential for sex. We know it’s shameful but still hunting is going on and has not reached to such a danger level that only 1411 tigers are left.

1411 is average estimate of India’s wild tigers, as per the monitoring exercise by Wildlife Institute of India in association with NTCA, Government of India in 2008.

I was talking about the commercial that I watched. Watch it below and feel the touch. A cute cub of tiger is waiting for her mother to return from hunting as it is hungry and thirsty. But little fact it knows that her mother might not even return! Why? Because, there are chances that she would be killed by humans. What happens to the cub then? The imagination itself is heart breaking.

Save Our Tigers video

It surprised me when I came to know that there were total of 40,000 tigers in the last century. Tigers were considered as a part of our heritage. And now only 1411 left. The difference of 38589 tigers shows the merciless killing of this beautiful animal.Indian Government has been spending billions of rupees after the border protection.

Time has come now that, we take care of our own animals too. Security staff is the first and foremost requirement to save our tigers. Their strength should be increased as well they should be well equipped to fight back against the killer demons.

Protection should be given the high priority. The killers should fear from the guards that if they are caught, they can be the target of bullets. Strict laws should be executed immediately against any such caught

    In the article, “The Stripes Will Survive”, by Jacqueline Adams, the author explained that the role of zoos is to prevent extinction. The article takes place in the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo, focuses on endangerment efforts, and involves two tiger cubs, Danya and Dasha. According to Adams, “In 1981, the American Zoo and Aquarium Association (AZA) started the Species Survival Plan (SSP) to make sure that threatened and endangered animal species don't disappear.” However, the article also mentions how the cubs were cared for. As an example, the article mentioned that the tigers were fed horse meat- the tigers’ favorite meal.…

    Iconic African species are declining at a startling speed because of unsustainable hunting. Consider the African lion for example. Their numbers have reduced from approximately 450,000 in the 1940s to 200,000. Furthermore Oxford University research shows that by 2035, the number of lions will likely be decreased by a further 50%. Trophy hunters contribute to this decline by killing around 105,000 animals every year. the original intention of trophy hunters was to control healthy populations of individual species. Numbers were managed under the guise of culling. However, the trophy hunters never stopped hunting even when healthy numbers were achieved, and the trophy hunting has become a status symbol for the wealthy, especially in Asia.…

    Visiting the zoo is a fun family activity that 175 million people do each year (“Zoo Statistics”). However, the animals in the zoo are treated horribly. As a kid, visiting the zoo was one of my favorite activities. I loved watching the animals and spending time with my family, but as I grew older, my joy of the zoo diminished when I realized what was happening to the animals. The mighty tiger that was once strutting across the grass is now a dreary, unhealthy animal that walks aimlessly just to pass the time. Many animals die an unnatural death because of the treatment they receive in zoos and the lack of space reserved for them. Zoos promise to bring in animals that are either endangered or unhealthy; however, a remarkable number of animals…

    There is no denying how cute a tiger cub, bear cub or any other undomesticated animals are when they are infants. In fact, most people come to believe how wonderful it would be to own such a cute cub, but they fail to remember the menacing threat that these beasts could have to the owner. In numerous states, people can legally own these exotic animals, though some require a permit. Consequently, there have been countless of accidents where either the animal or people have been injured or killed which is why the ownership of exotic animal should be outlawed. Therefore, outlawing possession of dangerous creatures is crucial because the animals need to be out in their natural habitat, owning them is dangerous, and the difficulty of caring for…

    Many countries, mainly in Asia, have killed tigers for their bones which traditional Asian medicine believes to have anti-inflammatory purposes. To a lesser extent, people kill tigers for their exotic and expensive furs, claws, and teeth. Every country has banned the use and manufacture of tiger bone; however, in many Asian countries, including China, Malaysia, and Viet Nam, illegal production continues to degrade the tiger population. In 2000, CITES formed the Tiger Enforcement Task Force, which works to control commercial poaching of all tiger species. This task force has been generally effective, causing illegal trade to decrease in several countries (Nowell, 2007).…

    Humans are on the very top of the food chain, they have the supremecy over everything and anything, including wild animals. Wildlife that will never be in their natural habitat, and live their entire life in an artificial enclosure. Where they live out their lives in fear, and with all eyes on them (Carnivores in Captivity.) Many activists try to shut down zoos, and find any evidence of cruelty they possibly can to do so. Although the activists are unsuccessful, the attention needs to be diverted to the existing roadside zoos. Tony the tiger suffers everyday of his life in a cage that is not big enough for him to lie down in, along with other tigers. Some of the tigers end up dying from the toxic fumes of the gas and diesel (Tigers in America.) Human beings who run roadside zoos, know that they aren’t providing the necessary amount of care for animals that do not deserve to live in captivity. Some of the zoo owners are only in it for the profit, so they breed and bring in baby animals to attract more visitors. While other zoo owners actually care about…

    Animals In Captivity

    The first point that this essay will address is the simple fact that zoo owners have propaganda in mind, and not preservation. “Zoos help save endangered species, by saving hurt animals and rehabilitating them,” is an excuse many zoo officials use. Zoos claim to want to protect species from extinction, which sounds like a noble goal, but zoo officials usually favor exotic or popular animals, rather than threatened or endangered local wildlife. The Chinese government, for example, “rents” pandas to zoos worldwide for fees of more than $1 million per year. It is questionable whether the profits are being directed toward panda-conservation efforts at all. Also, because tigers are the most favorable “crowd pleasers,” recent studies prove that there are more tigers in captivity than those that exist in the wild. There are thought to be between 5,000 and 10,000 tigers in U.S. cages and 90% of them are in miserable roadside zoos, backyard breeder facilities, circus wagons and pet homes. Before long, the few tigers left in…

    People have the passion of zoos because of the anticipation of extinction occurring and believe zoos are the heros of saving them. For instance, various of animals in Africa are becoming extinct, and if numerous animals are in zoos younger children or people who never witnessed a “giraffe” or a “tiger” will finally get to experience one. In fact, “In Denmark, They are Mad about Marius” established a Giraffe Center where they are devoted in rescuing giraffes due to extinction (qtd in Jabeen Bhatti). With this said, Tigers are the…
