On a dark cold December night, you loss your life and for us, we felt a pain in our hearts. We miss you so much girl... We will never forget you, Tatiana. Take care my friend and may you find a better place to roam in peace.

Tatiana died 25 Dec-2007, at the hands of the San Francisco Police Department, when she escaped from her enclosure. (Tatiana was provoked!!) She was only acting in her defense against three punks that night. Alcohol and marijuana was found in the boys blood system after the attack. Also a bloody sign was found inside Tatiana's enclosure. Why didn't Tatiana try to get out of her enclosure before? Why was that day so special? I really feel that, Tatiana is the true victim here. The truth is now coming clear for all of us to see. It’s sad that an alcohol / marijuana influence person died and others were injured that night, but since, the tiger was provoked and abused by their hands, well.... "they got what they deserved!". I agree, that Tatiana should not have been able to escaped from her enclosure at the zoo, but how high does a wall have to be? When will the animals ever have a voice?
We expect wild animals to live by our rules, in a cage knowing this can never be. The deep desire to be free is in all of us. Even if she was caught and put back into her enclosure, I think there might have been a cry to put her down anyway. Even for a brief moment if she felt free, makes me feel happy inside. For the last minutes of her life she knew, what it felt to have freedom.

Siberian (or Amur) tigers are the world's largest cats. They live primarily in eastern Russia's birch forests, though some exist in China and North Korea. There are an estimated 400 to 500 Siberian tigers living in the wild, and recent studies suggest that these numbers are stable. Though their northern climate is far harsher than those of other tigers, these animals have some advantages. Northern forests offer the lowest human density of any tiger habitat, and the most complete ecosystem. The vast woodlands also allow tigers far more room to roam, as Russia's timber industry is currently less extensive than that of many other countries.
Tigers are the largest of all wild cats and are renowned for their power and strength. There were once eight tiger subspecies, but three became extinct during the 20th century. Over the last 100 years, hunting and forest destruction have reduced overall tiger populations from hundreds of thousands to perhaps 5,000 to 7,000. Tigers are hunted as trophies and also for body parts that are used in traditional Chinese medicine. All five remaining tiger subspecies are endangered, and many protection programs are in place. Poaching is a reduced—but still very significant—threat to Siberian tigers.
Tigers live alone and aggressively scent-mark large territories to keep their rivals away. They are powerful hunters that travel many miles to find prey, such as elk and wild boar, on nocturnal hunts. Tigers use their distinctive coats as camouflage (no two have exactly the same stripes) and hunt by stealth. They lie in wait and creep close enough to attack their victims with a quick spring and a fatal pounce. A hungry tiger can eat as much as 60 pounds (27.2 kilograms) in one night, though they usually eat less.
