Own Your Very Own Tiger......Stuffed Doll! It Does Help To Save Live Tigers!

August 02, 2010
Gentle readers of this American Chronicle, when I was growing up the words "Save The Tigers" reverberated everywhere. Today, I am bringing back those words and adding (Buy a Doll) to help save the Tigers. The World Wildlife Fund is selling the made in Vietnam Dolls..>

We're offering you a special opportunity to own one of 3,200 hand-crafted tigers when you donate monthly to WWF's global conservation efforts.

Dear Friend of WWF,

Your support counts, which is why we're offering you this last opportunity to receive one of 3,200 hand-crafted tigers and help WWF protect the future of nature. When you donate monthly to WWF's global conservation efforts, you can receive one of these unique tigers as a thank-you gift.

Watch this video to see how each hand-woven tiger is unique.

Why were these crafts made? Copy and Paste> https://secure2.convio.net/wwf/site/Donation2?df_id=4228&4228.donation=form1&s_src=AWG1102SS131&txtlnk2&JServSessionIdr004=mtr22frv61.app220b

The lowland, wet evergreen forests of Central Vietnam are very special--it's the only place in the country to have confirmed records of tiger breeding in the last decade. Shockingly, throughout Asia, the estimated count of this majestic species has declined from 100,000 in 1900 to as few as 3,200 today.

To raise awareness about the challenges facing this species, WWF partnered with the Ta Oi women of central Vietnam. These women, famous for creating zeng cotton textiles colored with natural vegetable dyes, have hand-woven 3,200 tigers exclusively for WWF. Each tiger is embroidered with a "serial number" ranging from "1 of 3200" to "3200 of 3200". This number and the different weave patterns ensure that no two individual tigers look alike, just as each of the world's 3,200 remaining wild tigers is unique. View a video of the Ta Oi women at work.


Just one of the 3,200 different hand-crafted tigers. Your tiger will be unique in both color and design.

How can you help?

One of these unique hand-crafted tigers can be yours free when you donate to WWF's global conservation efforts. As a monthly giver, your generosity helps preserve and protect our world's majestic species--like tigers--and the habitats in which they live. Don't wait--there are limited quantities available!

And, when you make your donation, weŽll share with you a longer, exclusive behind-the-scenes video that details how the Tai Oi created these works of art. This is only available to people who make a gift to WWF through this campaign.

Why give now?

This year is the 2010 Chinese Year of the Tiger. If we do not respond to the plight of wild tigers and the needs of the communities that share their home with tigers, we will witness the loss of one of the world's most irreplaceable natural wonders of our lifetime. Your support counts not just for 3,200 tigers, but also for threatened wildlife and their habitats around the world.

Please take advantage of this great opportunity and help protect nature and wildlife today.

Sincerely yours,

Terry Macko

Vice President, Membership

P.S. Hurry--there are only a limited number of hand-crafted tigers that we can share with our friends like you. Your support counts--make your donation to WWF today.

About Joseph Raglione
Hi! I am the executive director of the World Humanitarian Peace and Ecology Movement. I began as an environmental activist in 1969 and basically, never stopped! I Graduated College in Social Science and registered as a non-profit corporation in 1988 in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. I am one of a very few non-profit and generic freedom loving journalists left on Earth, and I continue today to study and to understand the problems connected with human activity on this Planet. My affiliates include: GreenPeace, the Nature Conservancy, the Bio-diversity organization, the Sierra Club, the David Suzuky foundation, the WWF, Amnesty International, World Vision, the IUF organization; as well as the wonderful and independant N.A.S.A. scientists studying our Planet's weather systems. Of course NASA also studies the mysteries of the Eternal Universe with satelite generated images and, over the years, have generously allowed me and thousands of our world scientists to study over their shoulder's via the Internet.
In spite of some past U.S. government repression, NASA continues to provide solid evidence of global warming.
NASA has provided me with pictorial evidence of Rainforest deforestation within: Jakarta, Peru, Africa, Brazil and even in Western Canada!
The motivation for such destruction continues to be (often illegally) for: lumber, for bio-fuels, and for Cattle ranching. Today, the perceived future profits for Palm Oil and for Bio-Fuels are prime motivators for environmental destruction. Small crop farming also contributes but that may be changing as farmers learn to protect the Rain-Forest.
With NASA imaging, there is proof that large city heat traps are helping global warming, and with (infrared images)there is proof that several hundred million gas burning vehicles (including ship and airplanes) presently create a hugh quantity of pollution tracks across both Oceans and Sky.
With oil, gas, Coal and Bio-Fuel heated buildings around the world creating C02 emissions, and with Methane release from all animal species...giant Ozone holes have been created and continue to exist above the North and South Poles. Ozone holes allow the Sun to radiate the Ice Caps and to accelerate the Ice melt, which releases more Methane into the atmosphere, which continues to thin out the Ozone. A vicious circle created by human need and also, unhappily, by human greed!
I have been asked to write to the Prime Minister of Japan to ask him to stop the murderous assault on endangered Whales. Every year, thousands of Whales are killed in the Antarctic with GreenPeace volunteers placing themselves between the Whales and the grenade tipped harpoons, and peope like myself, (I did not forget this is my "Bio," putting my old neck on the line attempting to change the situation by writing thousands if not millions of words!
Are words dangerous?
Over three hundred journalists were killed within the last ten years. You tell me if words are dangerous!
As I write these words, the desperate and starving in Darfur are waiting for rescue. I motivated a few kind hearted California Actors to visit the region and to report back. They did! They then created the Darfur coalition and they continue to fight to save the innocent victims trapped in tents in the desert of the Sudan. Darfuri's were attacked and moved from their homes because somebody believes there is Oil under the Sudan desert.
As I write this, a few sick and desperate people in Iraq are wrapping bombs around themselves in order to die in the name of God, and the list of humanitarian disasters continues. I also contribute information to the Reuter's news service. It is time for a change. Please help make it happen!
