NOSTALGIA: A look at Cumbria's love of nature on Global Tiger Day
FOR this Nostalgia edition we wanted to take a look at Global Tiger Day. An annual celebration to raise awareness for the plight of tigers and the urgent need for tiger conservation. Tigers are a critically endangered species whose numbers are affected by the illegal wildlife trade, habitat loss and climate change. Wild tiger populations have declined by around 95% since the beginning of the 20th century. There's now estimated to be around 3,900 wild tigers. Each tiger has a unique set of stripes – like a fingerprint – and this helps us identify individuals in the wild. Since the beginning of the 20th century, wild tiger populations have declined by around 95%. Sadly, there are more tigers in captivity in the US than are left in the wild. The tiger is officially classed as endangered by the IUCN. These photos show how people in Cumbria have shown their love of tigers over the years.

Woman Overhears Boyfriend's Mom and Dad Say This Surprisingly Hurtful Thing About Her — So, He Blocks His Parents for It
A Mumsnet user explained why she and her boyfriend have abruptly severed contact with his mom and dad 'I walked in on his parents talking in the kitchen ... saying they were surprised because he hates fat women so couldn't understand why he was with one,' she recalled Fellow Mumsnet users called her and her boyfriend 'childish'A woman and her boyfriend have cut his mom and dad out of their lives after she overhead them making a hurtful comment about her weight during a discussion about the type of women their son has dated. The girlfriend chronicled what she overhead and how she and her partner reacted on the community forum Mumsnet, where she admitted that she's feeling 'guilty that he has cut off his parents for me.' 'I have been with my partner for nearly a year,' she wrote. 'His parents live a few hours away so I've only met them a couple of times when they've visited but I thought they seemed lovely so when they invited us to stay for the weekend I agreed and we stayed in his old room.' 'I thought we were all having a lovely time, when I walked in on his parents talking in the kitchen asking what they thought of me and saying they were surprised because he hates fat women so couldn't understand why he was with one,' she added of their private conversation. Stunned, the woman confronted her boyfriend about what she heard. 'I was understandably hurt but didn't let on I heard so I told my partner and we just got our things and drove home while they were in the garden,' she said. 'I never want to see them again and my partner accepts this and blocked them and we'll have no more contact.' Rethinking whether they should have cut ties with the parents, the girlfriend pondered if she should be focusing her feelings toward her boyfriend. She asked herself and the forum, 'Is it true and he really has always hated girls my size? Then were they just making a point and I should be asking the same question and be mad at him?' 'His parents don't know why we've blocked them and will never know because they'll never see us again so I feel like they have got away with it and not been held accountable,' she continued. 'I think he should tell them and then block them so they know the consequences of what they said.' Mumsnet users were in disbelief about how the couple reacted. 'You are behaving like children,' one reader replied, while another commented, 'Extremely childish. I'm sure you felt hurt — I would too — but this was a conversation you were never intended to hear. They might also think you're lovely and funny — the things that matter.'

Another person addressed her question about where to direct her feelings. 'I think my biggest concern would be, does your partner really hate overweight women? Why would the parents think that?' they asked. Read the original article on People
