The look in the tiger’s eyes was one of deep revenge as she stalked her prey. “I will NEVER forgive. I will NEVER forget. I take revenge. I stalk, I kill,” she whispered to her two cubs as they followed her.
She stopped and allowed the man to walk on further, then she snarled at her two children and hissed, “Go back to the lair. That man has a gun and will stun you and trap you unless I get to him first. He wants little cubs to stuff them to sell for great profit.” She watched as they turned and obeyed their mother.
“That is one thing Tigers would never do. We may eat flesh, but we would not preserve them to keep them. Men even kill their own. But me – I'm proud of my children, I will protect them till the end. I vow, I will never swallow my pride!”
