Против использования тигрёнка в дальневосточном казино
В этом месяце в России открылось самое крупное казино в новой туристической зоне на Дальнем Востоке.
Оно названо "Хрустальный тигр". По такому случаю хозяева заведения нашпиковали наркотиками и переправили в казино дикого тигрёнка.
Событие вызвало широкий общественный резонанс. В частности, Сергей Арамилев из Российской природоохранной организации выступил с резко негативными высказываниями в адрес казино в связи с жестоким использованием животного вымирающего вида.

In addition to the roulette wheels, slot machines and gaming tables, Tigre de Cristal paid nearly $7,000 for a Siberian tiger cub to add to the flash and spectacle of Russia's newest and largest casino.
Bad luck for the casino, as this bet isn't paying off. The region is fiercely protective of the endangered species, which currently numbers fewer than 500 animals in the wild. The public response to the use of the cub was immediate and negative.
Sergei Aramilev of the Russian conservation organization Amur Tiger Centre is quoted in Russian media saying, "In terms of moral and ethical aspects, it is not good."
Care2 member Sammy Hartery has several years of experience working with veterinary clinics and wildlife. She knew that the experience would be horribly stressful for Crystal the cub, so she started a Care2 petition as soon as she heard about the casino's horrible decision.
Join the local outrage, and amplify the call to the casino to rethink its use of Crystal the cub. They are desperate for good opening press, so now is the perfect time to convince them to release her to a sanctuary! Sign Sammy's petition urging Tigre de Cristal to do the right thing for this wild animal - send it back to the wild!
