“HISS!”
I’ve caught the deer
Now I see humans and they are near
I need to drag my prey
Far far away
From those terrible beings
Who don’t care for our feelings
For those humans who steal our food
They don’t know the destruction they’ve brewed
As they hunt my species for our fur
Our lives end in a blur
Soon there will be none of us left in the wild
Except for that one lone child
As human territory slowly expands
Our lives are in their hands
So now I demand to be respected
And instead of being pursued to be protected..
Help the tigers
