TOO MANY TIGERS? (female tiger spayed) - Big Cat TV

So many times we get asked why we get our endangered animals spayed or neutered?...well, in this video we address that subject. In short- believe it or not, there are more captive tigers than wild tigers and that is something we do not like. The cats we have serve no purpose for the future of their species (not a part of the SSP) other than educating the public. We do tours of our facility and educate the public about captive and wild tigers and we send funds to tiger conservation projects overseas. We hope that one day the problem of people owning and breeding tigers as pets will be a thing of the past. To learn more about what you can do to keep people from owning tigers as well as what you can do to keep the tigers in the wild safe go to:

Together we can put the emphasis and our resources back into keeping the tiger in the wild.

question, has there ever been a birth at the big cat rescue?

[BigCatRescue]

@animalsfun Yes we were founded in 1992, back then we were always struggling to separate cats and were ill advised by people, but since the 90's we have learned that any cats bred in captivity are bred to spend their lives in captivity and this doesn't help conservation of the species, but simply adds to the problem of cats living in cages. We do not breed and haven't for a long time, instead we use our resources to provide a home for cats that need one :)

How do people mistaken lion meat from tiger meat? I thought tigers had stripes skin as well as fur?

[BigCatRescue]

@altarush When the cats have been skinned they all look the same :(

I am big fan of big cats rescue.....you may be right or wrong in neutering these tiger species for viable population survival......with your logic we need to neuter humans too esp hybrids and ppl of casual/pleasure sex stereotypes - they are useless too.....what do u say?.......6.5 Billion ppl most are liability on nature, wild life and habitat....I don't smell asset around anywhere.

[BigCatRescue]

@virgoptrex You're right, people are the problem, way too many people not enough room for the animals!

[abluechipstock]

go big cat rescue! i hate when animals are exploited for human entertainment and money!

[BigCatRescue]

Firstly not all tigers are suitable for species survival plans, ours are not, many are hybrids from two different sub species of tigers and are not 100% bengal or siberian tiger etc... Secondly breeding all these tigers in captivity might be saving the species but they will never get released back into the wild after being kept in captivity and associating people with food, what we need to do is preserve natural habitat for the existing tiger in the wild, if we can't do this we're in trouble! :)
