Tiger put down


Walt: write a report/ narrative.

At the Wellington Zoo a Sumatran Tiger named Cantik that is 21 years old has been put down because of severe arthritis and malignant adrenal tumour. In 1994 she arrived to the Wellington zoo from the burger’s zoo in the Netherlands. They said that she would not survive invasive treatment. So their option was to put her down.

Sumatran tigers have short powerful legs huge paws and a powerful jaw. Sumatran Tiger cubs do not make contact with their father and Sumatran Tigers fail at least 90%  of the time catching prey. And the Sumatran Tiger are one of the five smallest subspecies of tiger.    

I think that animals should receive euthanasia. Because it is a better way for them to die instead of the animals dying with pain. They can die a peaceful way. I think Wellington zoo should have a memorial for the Sumatran Tiger Cantik so the community can remember how a wonderful tiger she was.

I think Cantik the Sumatran tiger will be missed for a very long time.
