Tiger dies for Cottonsoft toilet paper

TAKE ACTION: http://greenpe.ac/cottonsoft - This distressing footage from July 2011 shows the agonising death of an endangered Sumatran tiger in an APP concession in Sumatra, Indonesia. There are less than 400 remaining Sumatran tigers in the wild and that number is rapidly declining as their habitat continues to be destroyed to make cheap pulp and paper products.

Ok. whoever videotaped this poor tiger dying, and couln't help this defenceless animal he's the worst.. some humans never realize that we're here to share land and respect life... (specially politicians)

@berenisse1000 it took six days for word to reach the Greenpeace office in Indonesia that the Sumatran tiger was stuck in an animal trap in an Asia Pulp and Paper (APP) concession. Our campaigner then traveled to the area as an observer with the rescue team, and was only present for the tiger’s last few hours.

GreenPeace, Peta, all these supposedly environmantally friendky groups are full of shit. They'll do whatever, like make their own videos, to get people to put money down their pockets and not do shit.

Awful footage. 6 days ( at least ) trapped. So inhumane . At the very least the trapper should have killed it as soon as they caught it . To leave it a week . Words fail me.

And comments suggesting Greenpeace was remiss for filming this ? WTF ? Even after a week , the tiger is still dangerous. You can't just ran up and pat it and make it better. But so injured .. and wild .. chances of recovery are practically nil. The foot was dead. It would never survive in the wild.

Who forgot the gun ?

I do think video like this is important to raise awareness, i don't understand how the video was taken without someone bothering to do something about it, but i don't think the video is asking for money for greenpeace, just some awareness and common sense.

@cf572 its not primarely because the tiger lacks nutrition. Its because no blood can flow through his hand which supports the cells with nutritions.

[cf572]

@Zimminimal that makes sense the tiger lacks food and the hand lacks nutrition

[Zimminimal]

@cf572 the hand is dead

[cf572]

whats wrong with its hand at 0:42?

Poor tiger. Would have served green peace or whoever better to save that tiger than to tape it snagged in a trap dying. Saving it would have meant at least one more of these endangered species lives saved. And stuff you cottonsoft.
