Some of the conditions are appalling as they are kept in small enclosures with up to 2 feet of urine and excrement collected over years. The cruelty does not end there: owners discuss methods to agitate their pets to make them more aggressive and then pit them against other beasts in deathmatches to find the ultimate predator.

We must preserve habitat for tigers and allow them to live as wild animals. They deserve to live their life on earth as they were designed to live. I agree with Janet.

The initiative to close the farms is short sighted and will only increase the pressure on wild tigers. This campaign is just another veiled racist beat-up on the Chinese. You're not going to stem the demand for tiger bone any time soon and those that say that tiger farms encourage the decimation of wild tigers lie and ignore the economics. Who will go to the expense of buying a poached wild tiger when cheaper and legal supplies are available? Stop selling us animal protest industry campaigns dressed up as bogus environmentalism.

"Traditional medicine" or not, this witchcraft is driving too many species to extinction.

To think if just a few more Chinese men knew about Viagra, Tigers wouldn't be likely to be extinct in the next few years...
