White, Black & Golden Tigers

[tigerluver]

Pckts, you're doing it again. You're putting words in our mouth as Guate pointed out. You're reading your preconceptions, not what is actually there, making it very difficult to discuss with you, as why should I defend something I am not saying? You said adding heterozygous tigers to a dwindling population would cause poaching and increased in-fighting. I rebutted each possible problem you presented with reintroduction of captive specimen if the population ever came so low. No where was it said to add white tigers to the population if ever needed. Heterozygous means specimens who carry the white recessive gene.

Captive populations are essential in this day and age. It isn't as simple as an animal being labeled as endangered and now the government will do a great job stopping all killing and deforestation. Not even India, a model for conservation has done that. Take a look at Africa, plenty of laws in place, but rhino, elephant, etc. populations are being poached at an alarming rate. Criminals don't live by the law that you rightfully want for these animals. Animals won't be left alone, accept that. It's better to have bleak outlook and do something about rather than false hope when the situation is just all about untouched nature.

Finally, this is enough. Pckts, stop using words "you" in aggressive manners and phrases such as "haha" or "lol" toward someone's argument. That is rude, and causes the debate to become personal. Look at how Guate and I post, we stay from away from personality accusations such as saying "you don't love cats." Learn to debate professionally. Don't question the poster's integrity. Do not laugh at the poster's points. Do not mock a logic they present that you don't seem to understand. All this makes debating disgusting, and thus most of my time I've stayed away. Reply
