it is an unwritten rule of life that after every prolonged period of hardship and uncertainty, there is going to be a period when you are going to achieve quantum leaps across multiple areas of your life. the only requirement is that you do not give up on yourself.

[PENTANE🎤💜💡 @Thepentane_]

I think people need to accept that when a friend levels up and start cutting them off, that’s completely fine..

As you grow and reach a new stage in life, you naturally attract and connect with people who match that new level. It is just human nature to gradually outgrow old circles that no longer fit where you are going.

A lot of people pretend this is not true and call it betrayal, but in reality it happens all the time and it is okay.

That photo costs about $17. The premium version, where the tiger’s head rests in your lap, goes for around $140. Selling these poses made Thailand’s Tiger Temple roughly $3 million a year, until police raided it in 2016 and pulled 40 dead tiger cubs out of a freezer.

Thailand has about 1,960 tigers locked in cages right now. Almost all of them are at places that sell tourist photos. The most recent Thai government count of wild tigers came back at 179 to 223. There are eight to ten times more tigers in the photo business than tigers out there hunting deer in the forest.

Police forced their way into the Tiger Temple in May 2016 and walked out with 137 live tigers. They also found 40 frozen cubs in a kitchen freezer. Twenty more cubs were floating in jars of preserving fluid. Authorities stopped a temple staff member trying to drive off the property with two whole tiger pelts, ten tiger fangs, and around 1,500 small good-luck charms made from tiger skin.

Speed breeding is what keeps the supply going. Mothers get their cubs taken at two to three weeks old. The females come back into heat much sooner and pop out another litter long before nature would let them. World Animal Protection investigators walked through Thai tiger parks and found half the cats they saw in cages smaller than a one-car garage. A wild tiger covers 10 to 20 miles in a single night.

Cubs work the photo line for a few months. They get passed from tourist to tourist hundreds of times a day. Most are declawed, which is exactly what it sounds like: amputating part of each toe so they cannot scratch a paying customer. Once a cub grows too big or starts pushing back, it is finished with the photo business and too expensive to feed.

The same animals start a second life as product. In 2007, Thailand signed an international treaty banning the sale of tiger parts. Other tiger countries signed too. Authorities still seized 641 tigers, dead or alive, in smuggling busts across Southeast Asia between 2000 and 2011. DNA tests traced 275 of those straight back to the same kind of farms that sell tourist photos. China and Vietnam are the destination, where the parts are sold as tiger bone wine, tiger skin rugs, and traditional medicine.

After the 2016 raid, the government took custody of all 147 rescued tigers. Eighty-six died within three years. Decades of speed breeding had inbred their bloodlines so badly that their immune systems were already gone by the time anyone tried to save them.

NEW PRODUCT ALERT 🥳����🥳
During rainfall, we use umbrella but most times, it cover our head and doesn't protect our essentials from getting wet.
Sometimes, we end up putting our bag at the front which is usually not convenient most time, I mean it's called backpack for a reason.
