Say Ahhh!

I can’t believe there is less than 250 Sumatran Tigers in the wild today, and at least 2-5 a DAY are being killed for skins and alternitive medicines. It sadens me a great deal to know this…

For every framed print I sell of the 3 tiger photos I upload to RedBubble, I will donate $5-$15 depending on frame size to the Wildlife Warriors – Tiger fund.

This will help save the magestic animals from poachers in their native habitat. We have to help these tigers, because they can’t help themselves.. It’s up to us!

MountainHawk

Very moving picture and narrative. I HATE poachers. OK I don’t want to give them that much power! I STRONGLY dislike poachers. More like murderers. To contribute to the extinction of an animal is pure and utter stupidity! As you can tell this stirs up strong emotions with me. I can only hope work like this brings awareness to others. Thanks mate!
Adam Gormley replied

I hear your thoughts mate, I very much share them with you! Appreciate the comment :)
Ken Mucke

WOW… an amazing image…. the tiger is my spirit guide.

from my book… * the lake of souls*

The panther reached the clearing, and gently
called out to the tiger but she was too late.
Blood lust had built an inferno in the hearts of both tigers
and they neither saw or heard her.
The hawk dived down over the panthers head
and with a warning skree to keep her place,
returned to her high branch, as the panther indifferently
followed her retreat, her gaze now back to the tiger.
In the instant that all eyes where on the panther;
the old tiger charged the challenger with a ferocity
that startled them all.
Once again looking away for that short moment at the
eyes of the panther, the young tiger was knocked from
his stance, and he howled in horror and pain,
as his face was laid open and bled profusely.
Trying desperately to regain his senses, through the pain
and blur of his opponents lashing claws.

A cloud of dust, leaves, and fur rose about them,
as the blood of the young tiger spiraled to the forest floor
and stained it red.
The old tiger tore mercilessly at the young tiger,
and though he fought bravely his wounds pained him so;
he faltered in fear of the anguish of death.
The youngsters confidence fading, the old tiger
came down on him again and as the squirrel
covered her eyes; the hawk shuddered visibly;
the panther’s eyes widened in horror;
as the tigers massive jaws came down
over the throat of the young tiger and he gasped;
falling into the realm of the hereafter ;
and his limp body fell backwards.

Wow!! Now that I’ve seen your work – I really appreciate the comment on mine!! YOU ARE TERRIFIC! Good Luck in your charity campaign – Can’t afford a PIc but I could probably afford a really small donation – Do they take Paypal?
Dina
Adam Gormley replied

I don’t think they have Paypal, but check out Wildlife Warriors and see what you can find. I do all the donations personally at the zoo, because you can see their face :)

Thanks for the wonderful words, I appreciate it. You have fabulous photos of your lovely dog :)
Daniel Sheehan

funkybunch

Great image and words I am constantly amazed at humans ability to destroy…...we are surrounded by such beauty and have an obligation to ensure that future generations have the chance to see such beautiful creatures. I support breeding programmes but also feel that we should do all we can to protect the wild populations and habitats. Fur belongs on the animals and people should be better educated as to the benefits of keeping these creatures alive.
Adam Gormley replied

I couldn’t have said it better myself, wonderful comment, and much appreciated!
