Siberian tigers are very rare. With only an estimated 300 left in the wild, they are endangered. The good news is that there are many tigers held in farms or zoos. The bad news is even those animals are in danger. Such is the case when 11 tigers recently died in a Chinese wildlife park.
Some people feel that these tigers were deliberately starved and maltreated. The tiger carcasses are worth a great deal of money if sold to dealers for their parts. Some farms may be raising the tigers in hopes of making a profit. I hope the Chinese government will crackdown on those who abuse animals for money!
