Tiger Day is an official international holiday and is celebrated on July 29 It was founded in 2010 at the Tiger Summit forum, which discussed the issue of preserving the population of the striped predator
The summit, which took place in St Petersburg, had participants from the People's Republic of China, the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, Myanmar, Malaysia, the Federal Democratic Republic of Nepal, the Kingdom of Thailand, the Republic of India, Cambodia, Indonesia, the People's Republic of Bangladesh, the Lao People's Democratic Republic and the Kingdom of Butane It is in these countries that predatory “purrs” still thrive in the wild All participants came together to take part in the fate of the tigers and draw up a plan to save them As a result, after numerous discussions, an agreement was adopted on the basis of which the number of predatory individuals should double in 12 years The year for the summit was not chosen by chance, because 2010 was the year of the tiger according to the eastern calendar
The huge striped cat attracts attention not only with its beauty and impressive size, but also with its sharp mind, dexterity and cunning In size, the predatory cat is second only to bears, but despite this, bears are often a significant part of the predator’s diet Tigers use cunning to lure out their prey, imitating the growls of a bear, and then easily deal with it With just one blow of its paw, a tiger can break the spine of a clubfoot
Tigers think sharper and faster even than humans, thanks to this they are well trained They also remember who hurt them and hold grudges in order to get revenge over time Despite the harsh nature of the predator, they can be sentimental and caring A male tiger, having caught a victim, will never rush to feast on the prey first; he will give way to a female with cubs, and then begin the meal himself
Tigers know how to rejoice and grieve One day, zoo workers noticed how, after the death of a tiger, tears flowed from his female eyes After this, how can one not believe that an animal also has a soul?
Tiger Day is celebrated in different ways in different countries But all the celebrations have one goal - to preserve the predator, to teach humanity to live harmoniously next to the huge striped cat In zoos, “minke whales” receive delicious treats on this day, and in the wild, they receive the opportunity to survive
