White Tigers-Tragedy!
 

I never knew how terrible the breeding of white tigers was until I randomly stumbled across a youtube video tonight. I just wanted to pass this information along because it really touched me and I think the more people who know about it, the better!

Here's what the Big Cat Rescue has to say about it:

It's horrible how badly animals are treated, just to make a profit!

I have to go teach, but I'll look when I come home.

Oh Angie, How sad!

I can't wait till you read it Judy. I'd love to hear your prospective as a biologist.

The world is full of so much that is not beautiful. Where shall we write to, Angie, to help create change for these wonderful cats?

That's very sad. :(

OMG i hate any animal cruelty :( it breaks my heart, to see what humans are doing to these beautiful creatures.
I am going to mail the links to friends, the more people that know about this, the better.

I would write a letter to anyone who is using a white tiger to get more business, whether it is a circus, zoo, or magic show. If you see it on a flyer or something, maybe you could alert your local news station and see if you can get your friends and family to boycott that particular event. I'm not sure if there is any legislation to prevent this type of maltreatment, but maybe that's another avenue.

Thanks so much Mandy! I agree, the more people who know, the better! I had no idea, so I'm sure there are lots of other people who didn't either.
