This makes me angry. There should be much stiffer penalties for poaching. They will kill all the tigers if they aren't stopped. There should be a reward offered for any evidence of tiger poaching that leads to the arrest and conviction of the poachers. Make it worthwhile for the poachers to be hunted by people with cameras.

Tigers must be protected from poachers and survive in the wild.

when will this stop probably when there are no more of these most beauitiful cat's left,it is hard to belive that a75 year's ago there were 200 thousand of these great cat's,the chinese have got to be educated to the point that tiger part's in there medicine,have no effect at all and as an afferdesiak,that is the most redickuless thing that i have ever herd of,if these thing's were stoped than the tiger might stand a chance,it would be a very sad day if the worold were to loose the tiger.

IMO Knowledge is power this is where education comes into play. People need to be made aware of the destruction & also with Humans encroaching more & more into the wildnerness to build roads etc is decreasing the natural environment for our wild life.

Governments make these evil things happen, if they had some backbone, this could not happen. Spineless people ruling countries!. Stiffer laws against all forms of animal cruelty.

look at those wee babies, to weak to even find food, killing the mothers and fathers is horrible enough, and the babies are left to starve, starve to death, and they get a stinking fine, do they do jail time at all? don't do to another living creature what you wouldn't want done to you and yours!

This is disgusting!

Why on earth is nothing done by the Chinese government about this?

Poachers should be locked without any weapons, in a cage with the animals they slaughter... then we'd see how tough the scum are ...
