Plots(1)

The population of tigers worldwide has decreased dramatically over the last century. In 1900 over 100,000 tigers existed but the tiger trade has decreased these numbers significantly. Cur-rently there are less than 3,500 tigers alive. Fewer than 20 South Chinese tigers are alive today and Caspian, Javanese, and Balinese tigers are now extinct. Tigers and Humans takes a brutal, honest look into the industry and supply/demand that leads to the murder of thousands of tigers each year. The film also shows the beauty and power of the felines and sends a plea to save the tigers. (Moscow International Film Festival)
