Read this despairing motivating yet TRUTHFUL letter in the personality of a liger.
Letter from a liger
Dear Cleo the lion,
Remember me… Clover the liger , we used to be best friends until I got sent to the zoo. I got sent away from my family and friends. I wish I could go back into the wild.
I just got my third feeding of dry, stale steak as I bit in to the tough meat. A layer of chard crumbled in to my mouth my taste buds disagree but my stomach needs the energy to live. Day in day out bright camera flashes blind my eyes. Living behind bars is just not my thing. All the things I love to do, like swimming, playing with humans, playing with big cats, I can't do. All I do is eat moldy meat and let people take pictures of me.
I am the only liger in the whole zoo. Ligers are an endangered species. I should feel special but I just feel lonely. Ligers are endangered because they do not happen very often in the wild. Humans have tried to create ligers but tigers and some types of lions are also endangered.Tigers and lions are endangered because humans are wiping out there habitat for cities. Also the big cats can not find enough food because human have been killing the food and taking it themselves. This is where you come in. I need humans to help me raise money for a new enclosure . We need a fundraiser for better food, a bigger space, and some friends for me.
I feel you can help me create a new habitat for ligers , tigers and lions so I can be with my family. A place to swim and splash. There would be unlimited room to roam. A place I can call home.
Yours sincerely,
Clover the liger
