Three white tiger cubs had fallen ill at the zoo during the last week of August allegedly due to the authorities� decision to prematurely release them into an enclosure, wildlife experts said. �All the three cubs, born at the zoo in March, were suffering from diarrhoea and dehydration for the past few days. The problem has been caused due to the premature release of the cubs in the enclosure for the tourists,� a zoo employee told IANS on the condition of anonymity. However, zoo superintendent B.L. Sharma said that the health problem with the cubs had arisen due to constantly changing weather which is causing various diseases like malaria and dengue even among human beings, and animals are as susceptible. �Adding to it, the cub Samridhi who has died was weak since birth,� he said adding that all efforts were being made to safeguard the health of the other two white tiger cubs. The cubs were suffering from bacterial gastro-enteritis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 Dear friend, So sad.......... http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/the-white-tiger-fraud *http://www.bigcatrescue.org/cats/wild/white_tigers.htm*<http://www.bigcatrescue\ ..org/cats/wild/white_tigers.htm> * MANY PEOPLE DON'T REALIZE THE HORRIBLE TRUTH BEHIND WHITE TIGERS . FOR ONE THING, THE WHITE TIGER ISN'T EVEN A SPECIES OF TIGER, BUT ACTUALLY A SEVERELY INBRED BENGAL/SIBERIAN HYBRID. THE GENE TO CREATE A WHITE TIGER IS DOUBLE-RECESSIVE, AND THERE'S ONLY ONE LINE OF WHITE TIGERS; SO IN ORDER TO PRODUCE THEM, SEVERE INBREEDING MUST OCCUR. INBREEDING CAUSES MANY PROBLEMS FOR THESE TIGERS INCLUDING: BIRTH DEFECTS, IMMUNE DEFICIENCIES, SCOLIOSIS, CLEFT PALATES, MENTAL IMPAIRMENTS, CROSS-EYES, SHORTER LIVES, ETC. EIGHT OUT OF EVERY TEN WHITE TIGERS BRED DIE, AND IF THAT'S NOT ENOUGH, THE SEVERELY DEFORMED ONES ARE USUALLY KILLED OR DISCARDED. ALSO, MOST OF THE ORANGE TIGER CUBS BORN ARE SOLD AS PETS OR KILLED-ALL BECAUSE OF THEIR COLOR. SO AS YOU CAN SEE, ABSOLUTELY NO GOOD COMES FROM THE CONTINUAL BREEDING OF THESE ANIMALS! ONLY BREEDERS AND ZOOS PROFIT FROM THIS, SO PLEASE BOYCOTT ALL PLACES THAT CONTINUE TO BREED WHITE TIGERS AND OTHER HYBRIDS LIKE GOLDEN TABBY TIGERS!! THE FACT THAT THIS HORRIBLE PRACTICE HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR SO LONG MEANS THAT THE ONLY WAY THAT WE CAN HELP THESE CREATURES IS TO EDUCATE OURSELVES AND INFORM EVERYONE THAT WE KNOW. WE NEED TO BOYCOTT THESE PLACES!! THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND FOR CARING SO MUCH!

Guest guest Posted September 25, 2009 Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 There are two lines of White Tigers in India, the Rewa lineage and the Nandankanan lineage. Apparently, they have evolved independently. And whilst some white tigers are inbred, I have also seen healthy white tiger specimens. And I have no doubt that they are perfecty capable of mating with normal coloured tigers and producing healthy offspring. Whether any tiger should be in captivity at all is the larger question. And as I said in a previous message, this jugglery of mutants, species, subspecies and races is an academic exercise that has been arbitrary. By the way, I recently obtained a photo of the first White Tiger captured in Rewa called Mohan. If anyone wants the photo, I am willing to share.
