White Tigers. Don't they look adorable. Tigers are already extremely rare and to see a white tiger is a once in a lifetime experience. But the truth aren't spoken by zoos who have white tigers in their enclosures. The gene pool for white tigers is extremely small. To produce wild tigers as circus and zoo attractions, breeders resort to inbreeding to conceive white tigers. What's so bad about inbreeding? You might ask. Inbreeding is when someone or something conceives an offspring with a close relative such as cousins or siblings. Like humans, tiger cubs conceived by inbreeding have shorter lifespan, low sperm count, less ovums, cross-eyed and mental retardation. This is the problem faced by most white tiger cubs, 8 out of 10 white tiger cubs aren't perfect. What do the breeders do to severely deformed tigers like this one here>>>>

This is the truth. 8 out of 10 white tigers are like this poor creature here. Ugly. A magnificent tiger looking like this? This is caused by cruel men who have no compassion all for the sake of money. The breeders will either sell the deformed tiger at a low price to illegal tiger skin or bone traders at a low price or discard them. When they are discarded, the deformed tiger's retardation prevents it from hunting successfully and the color prevents them from camouflaging well. They will starve to death. 8 out of 10 white tigers pay the price for "not being good looking enough". Who has to pay the price, the innocent tiger who has deformation because of inbreeding prompted by humans or the sick tiger breeder who dispose of so many tiger cubs just to get a handful of majestic white tigers like the one in the first picture? If a white tiger is paired with a regular tiger, only 25% of the conceived cubs are white... Again 75% are disposed off...

White tigers don't need a conservation status. They are not wild animals, they're man-made. The best thing to do is to stop white tiger breeding and to continue supporting conservation efforts for the real tigers.

Open up you eyes fellas, this is the real world of white tigers... For more info, watch this video...
