sad....happy...very sad.....story!!!

()

the back leg of this six-month-old Sumatran tiger cub was so badly mangled...
by an "ILLEGAL POACHER" snare that it had to be amputated!!!

He was lucky to survive at all.... having been trapped for four days before being discovered in the rainforest in Aceh Province on the Indonesian island of Sumatra.

This picture is one of the entries by a Wildlife Photographer of the Year 2017 finalist.

a tiger cub maimed for life!
because of some greedy idiot!
unforgivable!

I guess at least he lived?

If you are a free person and suddenly your freedom just snatched. Just imagine how you can feel. Just look at the eyes of this cub so hatred you can found....

Man is getting cruel day by day! this has got to stop for gods sake!! :/

That really is sad, that is such a powerful creature and to be maimed by cowards is heart-breaking this one has got to be a front-runner to win the award

I am totally dislike the Zoo concept. Animals have right to be free, same like humans. They should be free not caged. It is okay to have re-habitation centers to treat the wounded or disable animals but not for showcasing for money.
So sad to hear about the cub.
Cheers!

Yes, so sad.This picture is one of the entries by a Wildlife Photographer.

Wow is that a real photo? O my got that tigers eye's are totally big! Look's photo shopped they are so dang big.

These cubs are so well behaved with having the cameras clicking away and they being held for ages. But they are adorable to watch.
