You can't ethically take a life. A tiger has no choice whereas a human does.

I have so many arguments against this I don’t even know were to start, so I’ll keep it simple: you need to abandon anthropocentrism.

Humans are animals and not particularly special or even intelligent ones. (Intelligence being defined as the ability to solve problems and learn from them) Our “intelligence” is actually just cumulative generationally passed knowledge. It is not clear that humans are indeed more rational than a tiger or that tigers or non human animals in general lack rationality, except only in the way in which a human would define rationality which cannot be a universal claim.
