White, Black & Golden Tigers

[tigerluver]

The proof of the adult white tigress is right there in front of you, and you're denying it. Here, the fault is your's, not Guate's or mine's.

Giant fossils and a white tiger, both extreme oddities that can bring those who find them a good reputation. If you fail to see the link, ask, instead of attacking the proposition.

You're answer to my question of how heterozygous regular specimens hurt a population is that you want evidence of my proposition. You dodge the question, we both don't have concrete evidence. You presented a faulty argument. An increase in tiger population when numbers are already low is bad? Furthermore, I said have heterzygous specimens at hand. They're regular colored. They have a larger gene pool, that is an advantage you are overlooking. Why are you jumping to the idea of just letting out some captive white tigers in the wild? I never said that. Even then, a white tiger or two popping here and there will increase poaching? So they'll start shooting orange tigers hoping one of them turns white? Poachers are ignorant, but not that much. The human contact part, what do you mean? If human contact is such a problem, let's end the captive breeding programs. Ecotourism is a big part in conservation. To save animals, we need money.

I see your point that we should let it be. We should and we want to, but the rest of mankind won't. That is a utopian society that will never exist as long as humans are on the planet. The people on this forum are a dying breed. Society is too busy with skyscrapers and the bright lights to leave the trees alone. The white genes shouldn't be a focus in tiger conservation, but if worst comes to worst, it'd be beneficial to have heterzygous specimens at hand. Reply
