Competition for life between species is the way life has revolved since the beginning of life on Earth. Specieses prey on each other and fight for living space to maintain their species and continue their offspring.

The same thing happened between Homo sapiens and other species, such as Panthera tigris sondaica in the photo above. Humans cleared the forest for settlements and agricultural land, which then disturbed the tiger's living space. As a result, sometimes clashes occur between humans and tigers.

The photo above shows a tiger caught in a trap at its feet in North Sumatra in the 1900s. Humans hunt tigers because they are considered a threat to the safety of humans and livestock, some are hunting them to trade their organs.

Due to the constant pressure of humans to live, the Sumatran tiger is now a critically endangered animal. Even now, the hunt for tigers is still ongoing even though the existence of these animals is protected by law.
