BBC World News states that White Tigers are Extremely Rare
On the 2nd
May 2013 the BBC World News stated that White Tigers are Extremely
Rare. The news item was accompanied by a video clip of the White Tiger cubs in Tobu
Zoo in Japan
which were making their first appearance.
Cute though the cubs are the BBC have joined the club of the
ill informed and are serving to perpetuate a myth and do real damage to sincere
Tiger Conservation around the world.
Their Childrens BBC Newsround site CBBC states “White
tigers are incredibly rare with around 100 left in the wild.”
The same story was given further credibility by ‘The
Guardian’ newspaper who carried a video clip online and stated “White
tigers are incredibly rare and it is estimated that there are only 200
remaining in the wild“
There are at least 30 White Tigers in Japan
and many thousands in Dysfunctional Zoos around the world. There are NO White
Tigers left in the wild! White Tigers
Interesting to note that the Japan Daily Press which also
reported the story included further information “"The reason why only a
few survive is that this gene comes with other genetic mutations like
deformities in the spine, club feet, and kidney problems."
In the same week Bokaro Zoo in India
lost one of their White Tigers, one of a litter where the other animals died
shortly after birth. They include the information “"Tigers born due to inbreeding have very
poor immunity, they fall sick easily. If you read about it the white tiger is
not very strong from inside, due to which we face a lot of problems. People
looking after white tigers generally face such issues," said Chatterjee”
and go on to include
“According
to reports the white tiger was last spotted in the wild in 1958.”
White Tigers are not rare or endangered or even a species.
These are freaks of nature deliberately inbred by Dysfunctional Zoos to draw
the public into their collections. Breeding or keeping them is not difficult
but does nothing at all to aid Tiger Conservation. They are Conservationally
Useless.

Reputable News Sources need to get their facts right and educate
the public and not sell them a lie.
