Bengal Tiger

These majestic animals are found in the Sundarbans Regions in India, Bangladesh and China. Extensively poached for their skin, hunting by humans is one of the leading causes for their endangered status. As their skin is extremely valuable, even the methods to hunt them are quite barbaric. Instead of shooting them, which could cause holes in their fur, their meat is poisoned which results in an agonizing and slow death. The governments of the countries that these tigers are native to have failed to implement effective measures to preserve this species.
