 Life of Ti"

In an age where people don’t run to rescue another person, I ran, because he fell into my enclosure. I looked at him and he was shaking, yet frozen. I wondered what he was doing inside my enclosure. He seems strange and he was crouched in front of me. I looked at him for some more time he seems so small and weak. When suddenly after good 15mins I saw lot of men, over the wall, screaming and shouting and throwing things at me, they even throw stone at me, one hit my thigh, and another my lower stomach. They were shouting bachao maaro maaro I did not react, Some even took pictures with their cell phones I  merely looked at them my white whiskers twitching, asking why are you throwing stones at me? Have I hurt you did I do any harm to you,? Before I could say anything more, 1 big black stone the size of an orange, hit my eyes. I thought they would hurt the man, who was trembling with fear in front of me. So I put my paw to protect him from these people who were throwing stones at me and at him and it hit him and he thought I was going to kill him. I wasn’t. I only wanted to protect him.

I am not a man eater, but my anxiety and stress affected me that I was sure they would either kill me or kill him. I am only 7 yrs old and I am a white tiger my name is Vijay and did you know that white tigers like me are weaker than other tigers because we are derived from a single wild ancestor caught way back in the 1950s. we are all severely in bred to retain our peculiar colour.

"Tell me why do you hunt me after you have taken away my habitat and for your booming business.

"Have I ever worn your skin?, and bones for me?.

You kill me for fun and amusement or to show how brave you are. But you will also take my picture and put me on your postage stamp. You use helicopters, automatic weapons, poison, traps, to kill me I am not asking to be alive for the environment. I am just saying, how can you commit this crime?  You call me an animal and you kill me, I am wondering whether I should be called a human being and you an Animal.

But I would hate to do that, because today I feel that it’s better to be an animal than a human being.Because I wonder whether my children would be proud of me if I wasn’t being human

No offense meant. These are just words. Because I honor life.

I was born before you, this planet was mine, Africa, Thailand, Nepal , India and more. Yet, no man was taken away from his land.

Today, my land is taken away and I am put into reserves and parks and even there , you kill me. You who are my protector cannot be trusted.
Can you defend me?.

Can you honor the life within me?

Will you join hands together and give us a gift. A gift that will make a lasting difference, to me, and to you , since we (all tigers) are critical for your well being.

Come, start a campaign and adopt a wild cat, in honor of a family member, friend, or anyone to help conserve some of the biggest cats on this planet. If you ask me, why you should save me, Whats in it for you ? and I am sure you will ask that because in the web of life we are all inter related.  if you save me. You save yourself Just the other day I heard my cousin twice removed a leopard wandered in Krishnagiri , searching for water and something to eatwhen he was hounded for 3 dayys and he hid inside ann old tiny cave  and then he was caught  hung upside down with his legs tied to two poles

Just give me a fighting chance, so that your grand children and their grand childrens will know what a tiger is. Because I am so charismatic, I am not just a wild animal. If I go extinct, the entire system will collapse. I am a predator, and I live on top of the food chain, so if I live, the entire eco system lives. I have only 3119 tiger brothers left, before you destroy the eco system and climate change.

Save me !
