The Bengal Tiger Help save our friend not enemy against extinction!

What The habitat of the Bengal Tiger has decreased greatly. Some reports claim that the Bengal Tiger population is around 4,000 Tigers compared to the 50,000 around This decreases is contributed to human expansion into the Tiger's habitat. Many farmers land was once the habitat of Bengal Tigers. This has caused many Bengal Tigers to hunt on the farm land, this hunting often ends up with the death of the tiger. Some conservationist have suggested that tiger reserves be created to help save the Bengal Tiger from extinction and give them a place to roam that will not endanger human or tiger lives.decreasedcontributedextinctionendanger

Reflection I don’t think people should even be killing animals no matter what they do to people or anyone in life. All animals are amazing and if you take one of their lives, why do you think they kill people more and more.

“If all the tigers and animals run out of their food then they will eat each other then after that, they have to eat something and that are humans. So I say we have to get their first!” Some others opinion. Different Opinions
