Oh, no. Poor Juhi. I was just feeling a bit better about the world after reading the article about Ontario's newly-stringent animal cruelty laws...but now my heart has plummeted again.

It was a blessing humane people tried to save you, dear baby. And most likely, with the unprecedented blood transfusion to try and save you, your life will give life to other animals.

It's too bad the girl cub didn't make it. I wonder if her injuries were too severe or if this was a blood typing problem. I wonder what will happen to her brother who seemed to be doing well..... set free? A zoo somewhere? Does he know how to hunt? I think we need another follow up to find out the brother's fate. Still, I'm glad zootoo followed up this time.

Bless them for doing so much but sometimes nature has other plans. Seems to me that they should talk to these villagers who attacked her, and her sister...

Very sad....but things didn't look good fromthe start. Some work needs to be done to educate the population or these animals will become extinct.

Well, considering there is no real way to type a tigers blood, there is no surprise that the attempt failed. I think they need to research the procedure more. It seems this was a last ditch effort to save the baby cub in an emergency. Too Bad that it failed.

I'm sure the vets did all they could, but it is sad that the tiger's life could not be saved :(

I hope that some knowledge will be gained from this tragedy that will result in a new treatment. As sad as this story is, at least an attempt was made to save the cub.

What a sad story but at least they tried to save the cub. Hopefully the villagers will be provided some education on how important these animals are and efforts will be made to work on how this can benefit these people

I'm so glad Zootoo brings stories like this to our attention and then follows up on the initial story... even if there is a sad ending. It's great that they tried the transfusion, just so sad that it didn't work.

At least they tried:-(. I am so saddened by this. I had been praying since the first article. I agree with Rex. Maybe they learned from the experience---enough to save the next one. Julee
