Another reason to "correct" the dominators before they "correct" the Earth. I bet those “medicines” are pretty expensive, probably mainly purchased by the upper class.

I think a little education would go a long way in deterring people from hunting predators. It's not right to hunt animals who don't fear you and aren't fir to eat, it's just too easy and they reproduce too slowly. There are too many people in the world (and not enough animals) for people to be hunting for anything other than food. Have we had a similar situation in the U.S. in the past 150 years (other than the bison fiasco, which was horrible) that was caused by the citizens greed? Its sad that misinformed and unintelligent people have such an effect on the Earth. “Correct” those who are killing the tigers or using traditional medicines because they should be “corrected”.
