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.

  • Why are white tigers bad?! How is it bad to be a white tiger? I think they are the most beautiful tigers. And that really just means most have a genetic defect? :_(

  • @singstar291 Breeding white tigers is bad, they are all inbred and suffer from many different health problems, there's no reason to breed them.

  • Why are the lion and tiger together?

  • @poopmonkey48 They were living together at the roadside zoo we rescued them from, they have both been fixed and enjoy living together so we kept them in the same enclosure so they have some company :)

  • @singstar291 White tigers die in the wild because they do not blend in with their surroundings which makes it much harder for them the stalk their pay and they die.

  • @BigCatRescue Oh I see.
