  • Russia’s prime minister convened a tiger summit where world leaders endorsed a bold plan to save tigers.
  • Three tiger subspecies - the Bali, Javan, and Caspian - have become extinct in the past 70 years.

  • In the 1940s the Amur tiger was on the brink of extinction, with no more than 40 tigers remaining in the wild.
  • Access to the areas where Indochinese tigers live is often restricted,
  • It is estimated that the South China tiger is functionally extinct.

Tens of thousands are shipped to Mexico and Canada annually, where they are killed under barbaric conditions so their meat can continue to satisfy the palates of overseas diners in countries such as Italy, France, Belgium, and Japan.

  • While a handful of horses are purposely sold into slaughter by irresponsible owners, most arrive at the slaughterhouse via livestock auction, where unsuspecting owners sell the animals to slaughterhouse middlemen known as "killer buyers." Despite the fact that the US plants are no longer in operation, killer buyers continue to purchase and haul as many horses as possible from livestock auctions around the country to the slaughterhouses that have now relocated to Mexico and Canada.
