tiger hunting
Pursuing the striped
Tiger hunting is the pursuit and killing of tigers, historically practiced as elite sport and symbol of power—Indian maharajas and British colonials staged elaborate hunts from elephant-back.
Now illegal nearly everywhere due to the species' endangered status, though poaching continues to supply demand for tiger parts in traditional medicine and as trophies.
