China should rather produce a medicine to gain respect and dignity for animals. They are the scum of the earth. My apologies for those who oppose this barbaric acts of their own nation.

They must have believed every word of the DMGS post on the correlation of small parts of hunters and this escalation of tiger abuse is teir typical communistic greed driven responce! Strange that when I was at school many many years ago communists where the opposite of capitalists now they are the same and own half of the US and UK! The other thingthat is wierd about China is the medicine they are talking about comes from the Chinese period that the current regime despises! So much for morality or principles when there is a dollar to be had! As I've said many times before traditions that involve abuse of animals are wrong who ever is doing that abuse whatever their age, gender, religion, sexuality or race I do not discriminate!

The sad tragedy is that these countries include the UK and the US--there have been investigations that have discovered medicines containing tiger parts on sale there. Of course, these can generally be found in "Oriental" neighborhoods of these countries, but even non-Asians in the West are starting to get into these illegal medicines as the demand for alternative medicines grown.

This is such a travesty on the part of China! To kill Tigers, which are close to extinction, and call the selling of Tiger parts medicine, is ludicrous. I have yet to hear of a real medicine made of Tiger parts, so how has the world allowed the selling of these Tiger parts to be call medicine.

Alternative medicine is a very good way to go for many people, as long as you don't go "tribal", and start killing wild animals and calling it Medicine. This only my opinion, but since we're trying to help animals survive and help the earth itself survive, this repulsive killing has to stop.

How much can we obtain from greed? . It doesn't matter what ailments we can cure, as long as we done it on top of other innocent creature's suffering, at the end, when all of our resources were exhausted, no matter how much we've gained, we'll have no cure at all.
