South China Tigers

South China Tigers are, critically endangered
and are considered to be, “functionally extinct
They have not been seen, for some 25 years
only seen in zoos, with all those human steers

Their home is in forests, of south east China
and they live close to, human provincial territory
and there has been, an uplifted ban from China
for use of Tiger parts, for the human factory

Their natural habitat, is highly fragmented
and not large enough, to sustain their population
as it is humans, who have completely managed
to destroy their home, with human deforestation

China has 6,500 Tigers, in Tiger farms
for the now, legal trade of Tiger parts
and there are only 3,900, left in the wild
and those in zoos, are just made mild

Sad how animals are killed for profit, how sad some humans are ...
