The design group has also conceived of a bulletproof vest for Bengal tigers, whose numbers have decreased by 95% since 1910 due to illegal hunting.

the poachers need to realize what they're doing to animals-but what do they care?

How about we stop killing these animals, and start killing poachers. I'm seriously thinking about taking some time of work next year and sitting in the jungle waiting for poachers to hunt. That's the only activism i see working. Greed is far more important to these poachers than a stable ecosystem. Without animals we're all fucked.

too true. Don't know if killing is the answer, but something has to be done.

It's really not the answer but it's the only one i can think of after all else seems to fail.

Now all we have to do is give them guns and train them and we've got a new branch of the military: The Tiger Task Force!

When this idea was pitched it must have been a joke... "Hey, let's take one of the worlds most feared animals and make it bullet proof"

lol, that can't be real, it's too silly.
It is a problem though, humans are causing another mass extinction because of their behavior.
Good story arctic.

Tiger poaching is a still growing problem. Our generation has to stop it, or there will be only ones in zoos.
There are only about 4,000 tigers left in the wild. Although the numbers are so low, they continue to be hunted by men for every reason we can think of. If we don't stop it, no one will. We target these cats and steal their homes. These gorgeous creatures deserve our respect.
