White tigers, they’re beautiful, magical, graceful… And they need your help. There are many cruel things that happen to make white tigers. Things that zoos seem to forget to tell you. By all technicality, the white tiger isn’t even a species that should be saved. It’s not even it’s own subspecies, in captivity it is a severely inbred Bengal/Siberian hybrid. The gene that causes the coloration of white tigers is double recessive. Every captive white tiger can be traced back to one tiger that was caught in India. This means that inbreeding is necessary to make the white gene show through. What’s so bad about inbreeding you might ask? In white tigers, inbreeding causes many problems. Including immune deficiency, scoliosis, cleft palates, mental impairments, early deaths… And every white tiger has crossed eyes, whether it shows or not because, the white gene causes the optic nerve to be wired to the wrong side of the brain. Many tigers bred this way suffer from deformities like this; http://advocacy.britannica.com/blog/advocacy/wp-content/uploads/white-tiger-3.jpg    yet you never see tigers looking like this in zoos… The severely deformed tigers are oftentimes killed or discarded. They will suffer for not being “pretty enough”. Contrary to popular belief, a white tiger population isn’t even found in the wild. Only 1 in 10,000 wild bengal tiger cubs will be born white, and no known wild white tiger has ever become an adult, since the coloration is disadvantageous in the bengal tiger’s habitat. And normal tiger behavior would prevent a white tiger from being born anyways. There is an alarmingly high neonatal mortality rate for white tiger cubs. 8 out of 10 cubs will die from the inbreeding needed to make this coloration show. They will die because the public has been deceived by the people who continue to create these animals. When two orange tigers that have the same gene mate, only 25% of their cubs will be white. Zoos and breeders don’t want the orange cubs, who are oftentimes sold as pets in the exotic pet trade or are killed. No good comes from this, only money for zoos and breeders.
