SAVE INDIA'S TIGERS!!!

The most significant immediate threat to the existence of wild tiger populations is the illegal trade in poached skins and body parts between India, Nepal and China.
The governments of these countries have failed to implement adequate enforcement response, and wildlife crime remained a low priority in terms of political commitment and investment for years.
There are well-organised gangs of professional poachers, who move from place to place and set up camp in vulnerable areas.
Other factors contributing to their loss are urbanization and revenge killing. Farmers blame tigers for killing cattle and shoot them.
We, the undersigned, want to explain the cause we have signed for.
As you all may know. The population of tigers has dropped down quite a bit. In 2011, the population increased by a good number. This is not enough. It is our national animal; shouldn't it be the most abundant?
What do poachers get by killing? Money. Fine!
But, what do we do/get by this? We encourage the poachers to kill more and more, and all we get is a body part or two of these magnificent creatures. Many owners of these products say that what we say, for the good of the creatures, is foolish.
Using an animals skin for decorating a house. Now, you can understand who the smarter one is!
Thank you for taking the time to read this letter.
