Tigers and their valuable Pelts

Tigers get killed a whole lot. Why?

The Tigers Skin
Tigers are killed for their beautiful, and valuable pelts, or skins. The pelt, or skin of an animal is the skin and the fur turned into a kind of mat. These are used for several things, like blankets or clothes. But, the tigers is one of the prettiest. It is orange with black stripes plus some white on it. Mean people, called poachers, will kill the tigers for their pretty skins and then they will sell them. However, this is illegal, you can't do it. But, people do any way. You can get a lot of money from their fur, thats why. The fur of tigers is why they are so rare. It really is beautiful though. Just look at this example of tiger fur! Woo-wee! That sure is pretty! But, still once the tiger is dead, the fur is bloody and just isn't as lively anymore. Its much better to just see the furs on the tigers while their alive then while their dead. You can go to a zoo, if they have a tiger, and see the tiger.
