Don't support places, like T.I.G.E.R.S. and Jungle Island, that breed ligers or Dr. Antle.
Ligers are bred only to be tourist attractions they do not occur naturally in the wild and while they do have the best traits of both tigers and lions that being they are social and love water they also have defects.
The liger(lion father tiger mother) and tigon (tiger father and lion mother) are hybrids born with
neurological disorders in which only 0.03 out of a hundred do not have. If they do not have a disorder at birth they will certainly develop one later. The cause will not be found in autopsies for the"head shakes," and many keepers of them will chalk it up to a genetic defect and will keep them until such time as they are of no value that being when the issues surface for the world to see. Ligers and tigons are lucky to live to see their first birthday just like the white tiger.
Not only that but the liger cubs are prone to being MUCH larger than either of their parents which in this case could kill off alot of tigers as the tigress's carrying liger's either die, Or have a C-section...
all this just to make money. By carnival folk who are to stupid and greedy to stop doing this to them for money.
Ligers and Tigons do not occur naturally in the wild.
Just as the White tiger does not exist naturally in the wild and just as many white lions in captivity are interbred to keep their natural white coat white.
