this is the emotional bucket signing in again.. 'Growing Up Wild' features cheetahs and tigers being brought up in human care.(see previous post on Cheetahs).. A rare white Tiger succeeded mating with a regular tiger and she gave birth to an adorable tiny white tiger cub...... Being in captivity, mummy was not really able to care very well for the baby, so the human took over as surrogate mums. The baby was not feeding well, it was weak... It was a heart-breaking sight. The vet diagnosed it has some genetical disease caused by too much in-breeding... i am so sad.. inbreeding.. not enough tigers to go around even to breed...this emotional bucket shedded many tears for the dead one.. and pray one day, they dun have to face this problem anymore...

actually, i think animals have no chance in this world unless we secure a whole territory of no-kill zone the size of say, the central african republic.
