Cee4life announcement – All tigers to be removed from Tiger Temple

Leave a comment

Newsroom24x7 Staff

Tiger TempleBangkok: After nearly 10 years of investigative work by Cee4life, and two scathing reports on the illegal wildlife trade and other crimes in the Tiger Tiger here, we can now confirm that ALL Tiger Temple Tigers wil be removed rapidly from Tiger Temple. The exercise to relocate the Tigers begins today.

Cee4life said that many staff of the Tiger Temple had no idea about the extent of what was coming, however based on a piece of information circulated on social media a couple of days ago, it is now certain that people within the Tiger Temple began to form a plan of action to prevent the remioval of tigers.

Recently, Cee4life had found out the details of what that plan was and have done all that is possible to prevent it from happening.

Cee4life message For the Tiger Temple – DO NOT HURT THE TIGERS.

In a statement, Sybelle Foxcroft, who haa been crusading to  protect the tigers kept in the mist inhuman conditions at the Tiger Temple, tiday said, the Tiger Temple was given so many years to comply and do the right thing, but they did not listen. No longer will the good people of this earth tolerate wildlife trafficking of tigers and/or abuse.
It never had to be this way, you could have simply got rid of the bad (wildlife traffickers and abusers) and worked towards a beautiful sanctuary.

We get no joy from what is about to happen, as we know it could have been so different. For the few human beings at the Tiger Temple who do actually care, our compassion goes out to you, we understand only too well how you feel.

Please everyone, say a prayer, meditate, but please send all your thoughts of protection and safety to the tigers of Tiger Temple. Especially keep in your thoughts the older tigers Sangtewan, Saireung, & Saifa who are the only remaining original tigers left at nearly 16 years old….. they need great care and handling…… Please keep all tigers in your hearts.

Cee4life has thanked the DNP for this action, Cee4life also thanks the organisations that have been extremely supportive to its plight for all these years, and also goes on to thank the public for their support.

No more will they be hidden behind the cloak of Buddha, Sybelle says.

More to come of course…..

Report on the much abused tigers of Tiger Temple

2 Comments

Newsroom24x7 Staff

FB_IMG_1451285939757Melbourne/Bangkok/New Delhi: After nine years of investigations, Cee4Life has delivered the
“Tiger Temple Report” to the Forestry Department, Department of National Parks, Wildlife Crime Unit, and other authorities in Thailand in December 2015.

Public Release of the Tiger Temple report has been delayed until January 2016 due to “timing” issues.

This report is dedicated to every single Tiger and other animal that was illegally procured via the illegal international wildlife trade, breaching multiple Thai wildlife laws and the CITES agreement, and for the Tigers that have died in the black of night due to those reasons. It is dedicated to those Tigers and other animals that were abused for such a prolonged amount of time, some died, some didnt. The abuse was consistently denied and some classed it as “old news”…. Sybelle Foxcroft, the founder and moving spirit behind Cee4Life says she dares anyone to walk in those animals paws and see if they think.

De-sensitization of the public caused decline in interest of this case at times, but never for Cee4Life.

Cee4Life has thank all the brave souls that stepped forward to help provide evidence that has been included in this report.

For every negative and obstacle that has been thrown at, Cee4life talks of the unstoppable fire that was lit so many years ago in a dark forest watching and listening to screaming tigers doomed to their deaths.

Tiger Temple Report by Cee4life to expose illegal tiger trade

1 Comment

Newsroom24x7 Desk

tiger templeOnce upon a time, nearly 16 years ago, screams a Cee4life post on facebook,  a myth was born that would fool gullible people, intelligent people, professional people, animal loving people etc from all over the world.
The myth, according to Cee4life, was “the rescue of injured and orphaned Tiger cubs, by Monks in Thailand, at a place called Wat PA Luang Ta Bua Yansampanno, better known as The Tiger Temple…..

This fairytale grew into epic proportions because of “feel good” coverage, points out Cee4life, adding it is not the journalists or media fault, why wouldn’t you believe that kind loving Buddhist Monks were doing these seeming miracles with Tigers? Its unthinkable to think it was all a charade.

But just as there is good in every religion, faith, country or heart in the world, there is also the dark that lurks there too, Cee4life states while underscoring how in 1999 and 2000, 8 Tigers were bought through the illegal wildlife trade and there began the gargantuan foundation of lies that has grown into a monstrosity …

The 8 Tigers had parents, they were not injured or orphaned Tigers, they were Tigers illegally obtained via the illegal international trade in Tigers…..

Cee4life claims that it has gone to a tremendous extent and risk to gather and protect the undeniable evidence and information.

Due to the severity of “threats”, relevant “agencies” have been informed of who, why, what, when and where and theTiger Temple Report 2 report has been given to multiple sources so it is ensured that it will come to light. Cee4life has said in a statement.

The Tiger Temple Report by Cee4life will be released in the coming weeks. It is heavily controversial, and will reveal a most shocking corruption on international illegal Tiger trade that was founded in Wat PA Luang Ta Bua Yansampanno, The Tiger Temple, Thailand.

Cee4life has dedicated the report to “every Tiger that lost its life inside the Tiger Tempe and every Tiger that stands to lose their life in there right now.

Tiger-dead for fake Chinese medicineSybelle Foxcroft, founder Director of Cee4life says:

“I saw a comment that said “When money is offered even the most gentle souls are tempted”….. Tiger Temple.. you might be able to get away with that bribery with some of your high and mighty friends, but not this org my friend.. There is no amount of money that you could offer to make us turn a blind eye.

You think that the public will forget about every single tiger that you traded, killed, murdered, NEVER…..

We have asked that those within Tiger Temple, whether as a long turn volunteer or a paid staff member, to step forward now, before it is to late. You have this one last chance or you will be found as guilty as all those who have deliberately carried on after beautiful tigers lost their lives to wildlife trade, at the order of you leaders, the Abbot and Jakkrit. You foreigners that think you are so untouchable, you are not. Time is running out now. Step forward and relieve yourself of the guilt you have carried. The people who you walk beside in the Tiger Temple, who you think are your friends, are nothing but shells of soul less beings desperate to keep a job. A job that requires you to ignore deaths, unattended injuries, beatings and the ultimate crimes of wildlife trade. We speak so hard to you now, as we have the evidence, your faces, every one of you…. Step forward, before you pay with your own freedom….. The clock is at 5 to midnight, step forward TT and you may be given a reprieve.

Tiger Temple – You are NO LONGER hiding Behind the Cloak of Buddha because we have ripped your cloaks off and you are stark naked for all the world to see your CRIMES…..”
