Eulogy for a Tigress

topic posted Fri, January 11, 2008 - 9:43 PM by  Kale
A soft and fury kitten
With blue eyes and tiger stripes
Grows into a cat
Mighty mankiller
stalker of jungles and forests
one of the rarest breeds
born into a life of captivity
what must it be like
to cat nap
as food walks around pointing
tail twitches
thoughts of freedom
and meals of funny looking monkeys
forever taunting
finally freedom comes
Ohh Tatiana Tigress
you are my shero
mighty mankiller
graceful and sleek
when shall we learn
that you commited no crime
you were only following
your instinctual call
may you live wild and free
forever in our hearts
and in the great world beyond
Blessed be, great cat
Blessed be...

A message to cops and others who shoot wildlife to kill-
Use a tranquilizer gun...
It is not the wild animal's fault that they encounter us,
it is we who have encroached on their freedom

    Well, if we want to convince people to use tranquilizers instead of bullets, "mighty mankiller" might not be the best epithet to employ.

      When seconds count a tranq gun is too slow. It would have taken up to 15 minutes to knock her out, there was no time. As tragic as this was, it was the only choice they had. Her path had already been determined the second she was out of the cage.

      it is tragic, and I did shed tears for her (she was incredibly beautiful).
