There is no scientific evidence that tiger parts, such as their bones, have any medicinal benefits. The idea that they will help you is more of a placebo effect, and educating the people world wide that these ancient remedies consisting of tiger parts have no medicinal powers would be a good step toward stopping the poaching and selling of these products. When there is no profit or the risk is too great the poaching and sale of these animals and products will stop.

The extinction of any one animal has dramatic consequences to the environment. We live in a modern world, and no matter how devastating scientific knowledge might be to any belief system, change is needed to keep the balance of life in order and a species from extinction.
