White, Black & Golden Tigers

[Pckts]

"Your faulty argument was that releasing white tigers into the wild would cause increased poaching, "
So the Fact that white tigers where taken from the wild, hunted so that they don't exist in the wild, means what exactly?
People are not going to hunt a even rarer version of a animal they are already hunting to extinction?
Somebody has a "faulty argument" here, it's definitely not me.

I also said numerous other negative effects that would come from selective breeding, genetic manipulation or introduction of more tigers to overly populated areas, so I'm not sure why you only latch on this one and not the fact that none of the cats would be wild, they would be numb to human presence, increased populations would cause higher mortality rates, the white gene still exists in tigers, etc..

"What success story of nature surviving on its own did I post? The horses that saved a species were captive."
And the over 2000 species brought back from the brink of extinction on the endangered species list, were wild!

If a animal is extinct in the wild, obviously the only way to bring it back is through captive breeding.
White tigers are not extinct, neither is the tiger, this is not a logical comparision.
