Trying to make a point, the [WWF](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/woodai-app) Tiger T-Shirt shows what it is to be hunted down by poachers like the Siberian tiger. Incredibly graphic, it relies on an [augmented reality](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tootsie-augmented-reality) to show you what it would be like to be shot.

According to Gizmodo, the WWF Tiger T-Shirt "triggers a shooting animation (complete with blood) when worn in front of a [special mirror](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-room-by-gentle-monster)." Strategically placed in stores, it truly takes you off guard when innocently go to see how it fits.
