WHITE TIGERS "Facts VS Fiction"

Back


In this special edition of Species Spotlight we look at the VERY popular white tiger (which isn't a separate species of tiger.) White tigers in captivity are produced from inbreeding and they actually weaken the captive tiger gene pool and they do nothing to help real conservation of the tiger. We state the first white was found in the 1950's as reports ealier to this may or may not have taken place in India.
For more info on this:

*Please urge anyone you see exhibiting white tigers to get them spayed or neutered as we CAN stop this abuse in our generation. Since they bring in $$$, many places breed them, and this has to be stopped in order to put the emphasis back into the real tiger species and into conservation and welfare over simple entertainment. Thank you.

It is true that these tigers are pretty but you are right about them being in the wild i would not expect a white tiger to live very long in the wild. great video i thought these tigers were born with a gift but they arent

This stunning creature is in PERIL! Fewer than 3,500-4,000 tigers remain in the wild in Asia, the only region of the world where they exist, and the illegal markets in China drive most tiger poaching and illegal trade.

China banned the sale of tiger products in '93, but allows the captive breeding of these animals under the guise of preserving the species. 5,000 Chinese tiger farms cage, confine, torment and breed 800 animals a year!
