Petting Lion & Tiger Cubs at Malls & Fairs

The idea of petting and playing with a tiger cub has an understandable natural appeal. The cubs are adorable, and the tiger is one of the most powerful and fascinating of all animals.

Watching this video has made me very sad. I especially hated hearing the squeals of these poor cubs as their sore bottoms were rubbed with a dirty (used on the floor first) wipe.

The way these cubs are held and bounced is awful. No mother tiger would pick up her young this way, They carry by the neck.

All in all, I would NOT support tiger cubs being hauled around to different malls to raise money, at the expense of the animals. I hope that this video gets out and these practices are stopped!

No wonder the tiger is going extinct. Displays like this fool people into thinking they are taking part in "saving the tiger." This is only about man's ego, this needs to be shut down, as these tigers only add to the overpopulation of captive tigers not in any accredited conservation or breeding programs.

This is reprehensible, I will make sure to pass this on. We need to outlaw private ownership of exotic animals - which is harmful to both the animals and the humans.
