It looks like he doesn't enjoy the smell of his cage... Funny pic.

Must be one of those inbred West Virgina tigers!

That is Kenny the incest Tiger from Edinburgh.

Meet the real captive-bred white tiger Tipped Ear Clan

That's what Napoleon's favorite animal looks like?

Looks like he landed face first when he came out, bet he's still as much a bad ass as any other tiger.

For some reason I'm not completely convinced.



Either that, or he has that 'special' strength and is the baddest.

'special' strength

That's more likely.

I have passed this post along to the Developmentally Challenged Tiger Anti Defamation League. In case you didn't know they are deeply offended by being called retarded.

The problems of this

The problem of making these cats is 1 its inbreeding(which is bad bad bad!). The risk is birth defects, early deaths, still births. And all are cross-eyed. Also this makes them not the smartest of cats. 80% of white tiger kits have died from birth defects. 1 in 30 of those white cats that survive will consistently perform. The number of tigers that have to be produced and disposed of in order to fill the public's desire to see white tigers on display is staggering.

Hahahaha

I know that was a joke, but I was actually worried I may offend someone using that word...I'd never, ever use that term in regards to a mentally handicapped person, but felt it was fitting for that odd looking feller.

Wow. I'm not about to jump on the PETA bandwagon (love bacon too much), but that is flat out ridiculous...I think white tigers are absolutely beautiful (excluding the lil' guy above), but at that expense I wouldn't mind them making that illegal.

I wasn't trying to rain on the thread or bring it down. It's just that after seeing some of them last year I have a whole new respect for them.


If anybody on here is interested there are two pretty cool big cat sanctuaries here in Indiana. My wife and I visited them both last year a couple of times. The tours are very informative and to see those big cats up close and personal is awesome! (especially if there's new babies)

Great Cats of Indiana Sanctuary & Rescue Facility for Big Cats

Welcome to the EFRC!

Both operate mostly from donations, so the appear kinda rough around the edges. Not the shiny new cages you might expect to see, but the cats are better off there than anywhere else.

Nah, no worries...Those are some crazy stats about white Bengals though...

I may have to check out one of those sanctuaries some time...Calling in advance to make sure there are kittens of course.

I'm not a cat person, but those kittens I could get on board with.

The problem with kittens is that they grow up to be cats.

In this case....

Really. Effing. BIG! Cats.

The kind of cats that hear, "Here, kitty kitty!" like a housecat hears a canopener.

Those in the pic above are really cute... from over there. I have no desire to be turned into a steak or three.
