Bengal tigers are endangered creatures that need to be saved. People abuse them when they are in the circus so they can be a source of entertainment.
Tigers need to be taken out of the circus so they can go back to their natural habitat and become healthier.
Circuses also need to be monitored better. They can leave the country with 10 tigers and came back to the country with 15. If asked, they can say the tigers bred on the road. As you can see this is a huge problem for the health of wild tigers and not only the ones that have been previously captured.
Bengal tigers are large animals in the cat family and are about 3-3.6 feet measured at the shoulder. Male Bengal tigers weigh about 490 LB. and females weigh about 310 LB. Tigers can consume about 60 pounds of food at a time but only eat about the weight of a deer each week. They live primarily in India, China and Nepal but also other countries. They live in tropical forests, mangrove swamps, and grasslands. There are only about 2,500 left in the wild but they are still the least endangered of all the tigers. Their scientific name is Panthera Tigris Tigris. Bengal tigers live about 8-10 years and have the biggest skull of all the other types of tigers.

We, the undersigned, call on the US Congress to free Bengal Tigers from circuses and rehabilitate them to be released back to their natural habitat.
