Death doesn't even want me....chopped with a meat cleaver to the bone. Spine and scapula were visible before being stitched up. Pretty cool scar....first pic was taken two weeks after the attack when half the stitches were removed. Second pic was taken a few months after later.
Honestly, it is a cliché, a popular phrase. A bit of a sarcastic joke.
Until a tiger actually eyes you. And flexes their teeth in this nonchalant way any cat does when they are being cute and intimidating.
Have I mentioned that #ilovecats?
You feel eyed up as a potential dinner. And sure enjoying the physical distance between you and the big animal.
And, in this instance, the thick glass and iron fence.
Good life as captives
Dusit Zoo had several large cats and versions of tigers in captivity. In 2014 there were Bengal Tigers like this fellow, and white versions of the same species. There were some Indonesian tigers too, but they were moved to Ubon Zoo outside Bangkok sometime before 2017.
The conditions for the tigers and the animals in general in Dusit Zoo was considered good, according to the "For Tigers"-association. They do regular inspections of tigers in captivity.
The tiger enclosures was each comprised of an outside spacious area and also a hidden den or night room at the back end of the enclosure.
The animals had a pond or a moat for bathing all filled plentifully. It was plentiful of grass and natural vegetation. The big cats had natural enrichment, scratching posts and pulley systems for food enrichment. Facilities had caves and some platformed areas to climb.
Health conditions of the animals was observed as good. No overcrowding, good body conditions and none visible injuries. By way of mental health, there was none observation of nervous, dissatisfied pacing. The cats performed in natural positive behaviours such as scent marking, sniffing, patrolling territory, sleeping and eating were all observed. Tigers appeared relaxed and at ease with surroundings, as its stated in the report, based on three inspections over five years until Dusit Zoo was closed down.

MC: Lead Maternity Carer in NZ is a Midwife! They're your first go-to for non medical/doctor needs.
They write your forms, organize tests, check your pregnancy progress, and of course, deliver your baby!
So it's important to be choosy! I totally understand they're underpaid and it's a super stressful job, but at the same time as a mum, you can't afford to take chances. If you don't feel your midwife is giving you good care, you can always change anytime.
I never became friends with my midwife, and sometimes she got my name wrong! But I think it honestly depends on the mum and the midwife. But remember! If you don't feel right, that's enough.
And Midwives are human too! :) And yes they should definitely get pay rises!
