The tiger is losing its home
and it's up to us to help them.
Even though there is still maneaters in one place,
they are protected there.
If maneaters are protected,
then why not the rest of them.
Tigers are going extinct because of humans.
I hate to think that humans
are the cause of so many animals going endangered
or extinct.
We need to stand up against these people
and save the magestic tiger.
They're beautiful animals
and need to be protected.
They need our help along with
the other animals that are
being abused, neglected,
or endangered.
The tiger is a symbol
to this world.
It's a symbol of beauty.
They are beautiful animals
and I want to be able to see one
in the wild and my children to
see them in the wild.
It's time we take a stand
and do what's right
to save these animals.
It's our time.
Let's do something about it.
There are about 500,000 tigers in captivity
and that's more than what's in the wild.
There's about 20,000 in the wild.
Tigers shouldn't be in captivity
or trained.
It's not in there nature.
Please help to save the tigers.
They need our help.
Most can't hear the animals crying out for help,
but we can.
That's why we have to take a stand
and help them.

Good! Thank you for speaking out for the tigers. They are magnificent, powerful animals that deserve to be protected and respected. We can live side by side in harmony with them! Many species of tiger have gone extinct - three since 1947. Unbelievable!
"Three tiger subspecies are considered to have become extinct in the past 60 years. The Caspian tiger, Panthera tigris virgata, once ranged in Afghanistan, ..."

They are truly endangered - and on the brink of extinction. Something must be done about it. In China they are used for "medicinal purposes" and they are starting to "farm" them. Disgraceful. Not that I have anything against the Chinese, just this practise. I don't like Factory Farming in the U.S. or anywhere! of any animal.
You are right, tigers belong in the wilds, not in zoos, and certainly not on farms. Absurd and cruel, to say the least.
I am so glad that you entered a poem for the tigers.
Best of luck in the contest, and blessings to you!
