Walt: write a report on the Sumatran Tiger.
Sumatran Tiger
On 29 August at Wellington Zoo a Sumatran Tiger called Cantik was suffering from malignant and arthritis. Cantik was only 21 years old. Cantik came from the Netherland Zoo. She got sent over to the Wellington zoo in 1997. The staff at the Wellington zoo looked after Cantik for a very long time. But there was always sadness. The veterinarian and staff were devastated. They put Cantik down with a drug so she could die peacefully, thats called mercy killing. Cantik died recently which is really sad to hear about .
Sumatran tigers have short powerful legs, huge paws and a large, powerful jaw. Babies stay with their mother and have no contact with their father. Sumatran tigers are critically endangered. If given the chance the Sumatran tiger will run and hoof their prey into the water. Sumatran tigers are the smallest of the 5 remaining subspecies of tigers. Cantik’s real name means ‘beautiful’ in Indonesia. There is only about 300 to 400 Sumatran tigers left in the wild. Sumatran tigers are almost extinct.
I think that tigers should receive euthanize medication so they can die painlessly instead of going through such pain. blI really feel devastated about Cantik .
