Tigers

On drugs

Many tourists visit Tiger reserves and parks every year where they cuddle, hug and kiss them. But what they are not told is that the Tigers have been given medicine and sedatives to become a relaxed, soft and safe money-making attraction. Some Tigers have even had their claws and fangs removed.

In the last 70 years, three of the nine Tiger subspecies have become extinct. The remaining six subspecies all live in Asia where they are threatened by poaching and habitat loss.
The Amur tiger, previously known as the Siberian tiger, is the biggest of them all. The estimated number of wild Amur tigers is 400 – in Zoos there are approximately 600.

You can do something: Stop visiting Tiger reserves and parks in Asia!
