Look LC, here's the deal,
Selling Tiger's claws is illegal for a reason. The reason is that you can't tell a claw obtained off a live tiger from a claw obtained from a dead tiger. Therefore, if there is allowed to be a market for Tiger's claws, then people will go kill tigers, and when selling the claws say, "But the tiger was dead first." Which is true, because they killed the tiger!! Too many tigers would die of prematurely old age, because they would say. "Tiger old, sick, tiger die."
This is already a problem with grizzly bears, killed for spleens, and elephants, killed for ivory tusks and numerous other wild animals for body parts.
As far as prostitutes, Thai women are adults who are free to do as they choose. Farang and Thai men do not force them to have sex. Thai women do not force us to give money. It is all free agreement to make everybody happy to get what they want. And to make you and your wife happy to have sex with girls also. The tiger doesn't want your money, doesn't agree to give his claw and is not happy to die of "old age", because old age has a way of coming at a very young age when men can make money from the tiger's death.
I don't think that you mean any harm or have the intention to do evil, but I think that you are naive and need to be educated. When people can make money from the sale of tiger parts, tigers will die and not of old age. It is that simple. Anyone who participates in this process, knowingly or not, ultimately brings about the death of tigers. You do not realize that when you ask BMs to help you find tiger claws for sale you are asking them to participate in the process which results in dead tigers, and thus be accomplices to the tiger's death. Can you understand this? No one here wants to be a link in the chain between the killer of a tiger and the buyer of tiger parts!
If tigers were domesticated animals who were bred and raised for claws and hides, it would be a little different, and not illegal. But they are not, because they are not the kind of animal which thrives in captivity, and can not be treated like cows and pigs. And don't get me started on some of the mistreatment those animals receive!!!!!
Maybe now I hope that you can understand why BMs do not appreciate your sense of humor in this matter!!!!! I don't think you are a moron. But now that I have explained to you what to many BMs is obvious, then if you have learned something, that is good. If you still insist on your previous point of view, then you are either stubborn or stupid(i.e., a moron), or both.
