why are tigers being haunted and killed for?

Tigers are falling prey to unscrupulous hunters who are indiscriminately killing them for measly amounts on the behest of bigger fishes. The sad part is the protectors of tigers have become hand in glove with the poachers in killing one of the magnificent creations of GOD. The main reason behind killing the magnificent beast is two folds. The first being feeding the insatiable hunger of especially the Chinese in supplying tiger body parts for so called medicinal purpose. They are supposed to produce medicinal products out of the tigers. The second part is many a degenerated souls put up a cowardly act of putting on tiger skin adorned garments to pump up their ego. In India many tigers have been poached to satisfy the Tibetans who wear them as traditional dresses. Recently His holiness the Dalai Lama has issued a decree against it. You may be shocked to know that recently in India one national tiger reserve (Sireska) was found to be devoid of tigers as all had been poached. To cut short at this rate of tiger culling our next generation may not be able to look at tigers in real life but in photos only. As some one said the tiger is hemorrhaging, unless we get up & do something positive about it it may be gone for ever.

Many kinds of cats, then some fish, and even wild pigs would do it on occasion.\n\nSome other species might simply kill their offspring, but not eat them. Sometimes this might happen when the ruling male knows he's not the father.

You're thinking that a tiger with green fur would sneak up on prey in the green grass easier?  Why didn't tigers evolve with green fur then?\n\nThe reason is that green grass on dry land is actually a fairly recent development.  120 million years ago, their fur did blend in naturally with the distinct earth tones of the land, in that time.  \n\nGreen grass lived in the shallow ponds and lakes.  Frogs, water snakes, alligators who lived in those grassy swamps all share the distinctive green coloring that allowed them to blend in nicely.   For the very same reasons that tigers are orange and black, alligators are green.

They feel a need to run and are probably understimulated. Letting them out an hour/day usually cures this. They stretch, sleep, excersize/hunt, clean their fur, sharpen their claws, eat and toilet stuff. Lions to small cats, all the same.

They killed for different reasons--the Silence killer for the skin so he could act out his fantasy of being a woman, and the Seven killer because he wanted to teach people a lession about the seven deadly sins.  It's almost like the Seven killer thought he was doing the right thing, and the Silence killer didn't care.

The Mummys from actint Egypt are afraid of cats because they have been enemies for thousands of years. Everyone knows a cats inclination to chasing things, just take a piece of yarn and swing it in front of your cat, he will go for it, anyway Mummies naturally have pieces of cloth hanging loose, and in their hayday, swarms of cats would overwhelm a Mummy who strayed from the herd. Many a mummy lived a short afterlife after being unwrapped by a pack of street cats, so much so that actint Mummys first developed aluminum foil to act as a distraction in case of a cat attack.\n\nSo to answer your question, Mummys are dead, and have never walked after that, the fear of cats is a made up thing, in fact hundreds of thousands of cats were mummified by ancient egyptians, as they were revered by them.

No ghosts as in people that have died coming back but there are demonic spirits out there that appear in this fashion to steal and destroy the souls of men.

Can a tiger kill off a frog?

Been there, done this!  They are not. It's an urban legend. Besides, Elephants aren't afraid of humans, lions, or anything. Even lion prides move out of the way when the big animals comes.\n\nSnopes comments that "In fact, given the large size and relatively poor eyesight of elephants, they don't necessarily notice the occasional mouse scurrying around them all that often."\n\nAlthough it's possible that if by some fluke the mouse scurrying noise was magnified an elephant might be a little spooked and try to figure out whether it's dangerous or not.

Its horrible. The whole pest buissness is ridiculous. If they were a pest why do they need to be chased by dogs until exausted and then ripped apart. This is quite close to my heart my mother was running as a fox hunt was on and saw a fox chased. Later she saw it exhausted and dying because of it . How is that at all justifiable it is just barbaric and power hungry. " fight prejudice fight the ban" what a load of .. . If it was tradition to kick your dog would it be prejudice to try and stop this.\n\nHunting was natural when we did it for food do people eat foxes no they kill them and show them off its nothing to do with natural instinct so there is no need for it . And the disgusting way in which they are killed is not needed. In fact none of it is needed .\n\nMay i add- the "fox hunting" going on in Iraq, im from the UK i equally think that is unfair . I was not old enough to vote when Tony Blair was elected into power nor do i think the majority of the UK believed that Tony Blair would decide to lead this country into war. I for one protested against it as did a lot of people in the UK but did they listen no they did not

Tigers, they are so beautiful and unique.  Graceful yet powerful.  It really takes my breath away when I see one even if it's just on the TV.  They are endangered too and it's my dream to someday work with one of their conservation programmes.

Why would you want to kill one living thing to save another one of the same worth?

You could also throw that question right back and ask why animals ever come into contact with us since they know we will kill them?\n\nYou would do well to study a bit more about the preservation of species. It's a line of thought that looks at the self-preservation instincts and tactics of all animals and organisms. Man is no different than any other animal, it will expand as a way of preserving its species and along the way anything that poses a threat to even one of it's members will be dealt with. Often times that consists of killing the animal, other times we simply remove ourselves or the offending animal in question to another location that is safe for both.\n\nYou also need to be a little more careful about using such final statements that are black in white in nature. Your question makes it seem that "dumb" humans just wander around and kill things that get mad at it, and that's all they ever do. \n\nInstead of just yelping out questions that are one-sided and poorly researched, why don't you spend some time reading about it yourself and learning something on your own, then come back and ask a smarter question.

I don't get it. If he's not dead why are the cats preparing to bury him.

I'm sure in the zoo they do.  \n\nAt the Atlanta zoo, a tiger paced a path along the perimeter.  I saw him walk around and around, you could almost see the frustration and sadness in his stride.  It made me sad.  \n\nI'm against caging wild animals or keeping them as house pets.

It isnt that they worship them... \n\nHinus believe that all animals have Atman or soul and thus should not be killed. Also killing leads to bad karmic consequences and the consumption of flesh is not sattvic; meaning one can not achieve full spirituality or a close connection with Lord.
