how do you own a tiger??
-
do you ever get tired of these keyboard warriors that "know" more than you because they read a wikipedia one time?
-
@timbalionguy CONT: inbred creatures - I cannot decide if these "rumours" are true or not, fact is there is a lot of argumentation for this point and that´s why you won´t get me 100% on your side. I simply won´t take a stand for either parties anymore.
As i obviously wont convince you of the opposite either, i figure that this discussion is finished. Thank´s for taking the time to teaching me.
PS: What do other (non-white-tiger-)exotic owners opine about this?

@timbalionguy I´m not trying to "control" people. As already mentioned, your tigers could be an exception to the population - or they could be not. Good, clean statistics are usually better than "case studies" - experience. And if they actually do suffer from these defects as much as some people claim they do, it would be better to not breed them, especially as it woulndt be much help for conservation issues.
You got me so far that I doubt that white tigers are actually purely

@1t2t3t4t5t6t7 Maybe I am not a scientist, but I do know a lot about biology. Most scientists don't actually work with tigers. I see them, I know them, I interact with them. We are making good progress in keeping them n captivity. I have a vested interest in seeing tigers, both orange and white, thrive in captivity, as the wild is simply going away. I do not like it when people try and 'control' animal people by citing research and statistics that do not hold up in the field!

awesome lens :)

responsible wild animal ownership at its best, keep up with the vids like this!!
-
@timbalionguy I agree with 1) and 2) to 100%. Nevertheless (almost) all information about this topic is in favour of this standpoint, including some actual scientists, what do you expect me to believe in?
Your last point is true too. But, you dont sound like someone who has specific qualifications in biology/genetics either... and firsthand experience doesn´t qualify for a differenciated opinion on tiger conservation - only for liking these creatures and wanting to defend them.

@1t2t3t4t5t6t7 If you get down to the bottom of it, all tigers have genetic defects. The defects in the white tigers get pointed out because 1.) They were more prevalent a few years ago, when inbreeding was rampant, and 2.) There is a group of people out there who have dedicated their lives to separating us from our animals, by any means (legal or illegal, moral or immoral) necessary. You are just believing their lies because you likely don't have firsthand experience with tigers.

@Comment117 they are called white tigers, regular tiger with white color, kind of like humans can have hair of different color, it is NOT a separate subspecies
