The lack of animal protection laws in The USA

Unfortunately DNA tests can cost a lot of money...even then, the rescued tigers are often unhealthy and have behavioral problems. These issues make natural breeding rather difficult. Right now, inbreeding is not a big problem for the captive breeding programs...so its not really worth the effort to determine if the rescued cats can become part of the breeding program. Personnally, if there are some healthy female rescued tigers...I feel that they could be used for embryo transfer and deliver genetically sound cubs.

I just sat in front of my TV, zapping as usual and happened to end up with MTV Cribs. One of the members of one of the currently very popular semi-punk bands (don´t remember the name right now) was showing off his big house, with a Lamborghini and several "pimped" 70:s American "Muscle Cars" in the garage.

And the stupid guy had a grown-up TIGER, chained to a tree in the backyard!

Again, all Americans.... lobby your politicians, get these stupidities criminalised, please!

When you poke around the internet there is a huge amount of ignorance on animal welfare - people just don't think about the vast hinterland of problems implied by something as seemingly harmless as, for example, a member of the public petting a 'tame' tiger.
