The spirit of nature is embodied by two magnificent Tigers recently liberated from decades of captivity, thanks to the heroic efforts of our partner, Wildlife Friends Foundation Thailand (WFFT). These Tigers, once shackled by the chains of an illegal wildlife trafficker, are now reveling in the freedom of a sanctuary that replicates their native wilderness.
For two decades, these majestic creatures were imprisoned in stark, concrete cages, devoid of any connection to the natural world they were born into. Their rescue in December by WFFT, part of Thailand's largest Tiger rescue, was a transformative moment. Rescued from severe neglect, they now roam in a sanctuary where they can experience the sensation of grass beneath their paws and the warmth of sunlight on their fur.
Now, they join other Tigers rescued in the same operation and will spend their remaining years under WFFT’s exceptional care. To highlight their plight and that of countless other Tigers suffering similar fates globally, we are launching a campaign to rewrite their story, starting with giving them a name.
Meet Our Rescued Tigers
These two Tigers embody a profound and troubling truth: More tigers now languish in captivity than roam free in the wild. In the United States alone, it is estimated that more than 5,000 tigers are held in captivity. Across the sprawling tiger farms of China, Laos, Thailand, and Vietnam, the number is believed to exceed 8,000. Tragically, these majestic creatures are frequently exploited for entertainment, confined in deplorable conditions, and trafficked for their valuable body parts.
The story of these two Tigers, rescued from dire circumstances, casts a stark light on the widespread crisis of Tigers in captivity. It is a global issue that demands urgent attention and action! By confronting this crisis, we aim to ignite a movement that saves these incredible animals and restores their dignity and rightful place in the natural world.
