Are siberian tigers on the endangered species list?

Question

are those cops that shot that tiger gonna have to pay fines or something? i think they should have to. they could've just shot it with a tranquilizer!

and why is everyone so shocked that it attacked people, it's a wild animal and doesn't belong in a cage in the first place! it's an unfortunate situation but what do you expect! they should've made sure that cage was suitable for it to not escape!

Answer 1

yes, they constanly r hunted, which i am against

Answer 2

I think that when an animal harms a human it can be shot, even if it is endangered. It was continuing its attacks right in front of the officers. They had to shoot to protect all the people at the zoo. I feel sorry for the tiger though in that it is a wild animal that is being caged.

Many wild animals that are caged become mentally ill. Also, last year it attacked a keeper so that should have been a giant warning sign to the zoo that something was wrong with this tiger.

I have seen some people at the zoo and they taunt the animals (?don't know why). Just knowing my cat, it won't be taunted long before it lets me know I am out of line. If she were bigger I would have been dead a long time ago. I wonder how much this tiger has had to endure. I also wonder about where it came from and what it's cub life was like. Was she captured by young men? Did they harm her to "tame" her?

I don't know, I just think it is sad for the boy's family. He just went to the zoo for goodness sake.

Answer 3

I believe so, because they are the rarest of the species.

Answer 4

I think that they were, I do not know if this is still the case.
