On 28 August Cantik died, she had been suffering from cancer and arthritis. It was so sad for everyone because she had been given euthanasia so that she doesn't die on her own in a lot of pain.
A long time ago in 1994 Wellington Zoo received a Sumatran tiger from Burger's Zoo in the Netherlands. Her name was Cantik. Cantik lived for more than 20 years. People believed that Sumatran tigers only live in the wild until they reached the age 10. But Cantik lived until she was 21 years old.
If the Wellington Zoo had two females they would send one of the females to another zoo that has a male Sumatran tiger so that they could breed. When Sumatran tigers breed they don’t really become extinct because the more cubs they have, the more Sumatrans tigers they get. They are also the smallest five subspecies. The tigers are really amazing at swimming but on land they chase their prey into the water where they can’t get away and are hopeless. There are only three to four hundred Sumatran tigers left in the wild.
I think that Cantik should receive euthanasia because they die peacefully. They could announce that one of Cantik children are their in her place and that it’s really good because she’s not all gone her daughter or son has a little bit of her in him/her. I will miss her so much but she is in a better place where she don’t need to go threw all that pain and dieing on her own.
I think that Cantik would live in peace and she will be really happy because she didn’t really want to go threw all that to die on her own.
