The Siberian tiger is an endangered species protected by Chinese law and internationally. According to the Wildlife Protection Law of the People's Republic of China, it is illegal to hunt and destroy precious and endangered wild animals and their products. If someone intentionally hunts or illegally acquires, transports, sells, or purchases endangered wild animals and their products, they will be sentenced to criminal liability.


Specifically, according to my country's relevant laws and regulations, illegal hunting of Siberian tigers may face the following penalties:


1. Anyone who imagines killing rare and endangered wild animals such as Siberian tigers, if the circumstances are particularly serious, may be sentenced to up to life imprisonment.


2. Anyone who illegally acquires, transports, sells or purchases Siberian tigers and other rare and endangered wild animals and their products will be sentenced to criminal detention or control and fined if the circumstances are relatively minor; if the circumstances are serious, he will be sentenced to imprisonment of not less than 3 years and 10 years to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than 10 years and to a fine.


Therefore, it can be seen that killing a Siberian tiger is an illegal and criminal act, involving national-level protected animal resources, and the penalty is heavier.
