    The article and photos made me angry, so I didn't read it in its entirety. :mad: I do take solace in the fact that we treat our own species just as badly and even worse than we treat other animals.

    At least those animals were used completely, unlike many dead tigers that are incinerated at zoos and circuses every year.
    But really, those breeders should realize that keeping tigers in poor conditions and uncontrolled crossbreeding means lowering their quality :(
