The World Wildlife Fund is leading a global effort to stop wildlife crime. In their “I am not a rug” campaign, they explain: "Every part of the tiger—from whisker to tail—is traded in illegal wildlife markets. Poaching is the most immediate threat to wild tigers.

On that information page, it says that a tiger can consume more than 80 pounds of meat at one time. Well, at this stage of evolution, tigers do have to eat meat… but, humans do *not* have to eat meat. In fact, humans are actually much healthier without animal protein.
Tigers are not rugs, and animals are not healthy foods.
