Anger at all atrocities, frustrated fiery feeling, For our numbers to increase, we are all appealing. Tigers with our orange and black striped features, Magnificent, we are the largest of all cat creatures. Senses of outrageous heartfelt distinction. It is with grief that we certainly face total extinction. We Tigers love to swim and tend our young so very fine. Poached, our bones are used in medicinal Tiger Wine. Our teeth for jewellery, our skin to make a common mat. Only 4000 of us left. These are practices you must combat. Splinters spear my soul so silently, so stop such slaying, You humans must realise the dangerous game you’re playing. We are the Tigers. Majestic and free, this is our natural instinct. Too late to stop the hunting and pouching once we are extinct.

Thank you Beata, it was an honor to be the voice of such magnificent creatures. Unfortunately I am powerless to do more. I pray that authorities who do nothing to stop this slaughter will realize before its too late, that the outcome is in their hands.
