How is your Wednesday going guys? Wishing you a happy Tiger Day!

 

Today is International Tiger Day. It's an annual celebration of these amazing animals. The actual purpose of the day is to raise global awareness about how they are closer and closer to extinction, and about the growing need for tiger conservation. There's only about 3000 tigers living in the wild around the world now.

 

Did you know tigers can also purr like domestic cats? Cat

As long as there are slimy cruel barstewards like Walter Palmer about, beautiful wild cats will always be in great danger of extinction. I cannot for the life of me understand what pleasure they get from hunting and killing lions and tigers. Hope he gets what's coming to him...

....and a good excuse to show my tattoo again!
