Aug 7, 2009 - All white tigers, snow white or not, are all inbred and from a double recessive gene. There is absolutely no such thing as a wild "snow white" tiger. The only subspecies of tigers that has the white gene is the Bengal. They do not live near snow, so the coloring is disadvantageous. Many people believe Siberians can be "snow white", but they possess no such gene.

AnimalMedia Says:
Jun 22, 2009 - VERY true. White tigers should NEVER be bred.And this video is incorrect. They are not "snow tigers", there is no such thing! Every white tiger in captivity is actually a hybrid between a Bengal and Siberian.Sadly, Siegfried and Roy would never tell the public about the cruelties of white tiger breeding, because they use white tigers for money! And that´s the most important thing for them, otherwise, those cubs would never have been picked up just to be shown to the camera... they would have

May 24, 2009 - I wish Siegfried and Roy would tell the truth about these animals and their existence!! They are created by related animals being forced to breed....mother to son, father to daughter or brother to sister. 75 - 80% of ALL white tiger cubs born are severly deformed or retarded...I wonder why Siegfried and Roy never tell the public that?Also, the white tiger is not a separate species of tiger...white tigers are Bengal or Siberian tigers that have been severely inbreed.

May 12, 2009 - Yeah! Let's kill all the white tigers! They're freaks and don't deserve life! -___- Okay, seriously? Did you know blue eyes are a recessive mutation as well? Maybe we should stop letting people with blue eyes reproduce as well. Roy is a good man and he obviously cares about the cats. He nearly died and his first comment was, "Don't shoot the cat". How many people do you know would put the cat's life first after coming out of a black out?

SarahSnape Says:
Mar 20, 2008 - My cats do that with me sometimes too. Since I've raised them since they were kittens and took care of them whenever they were sick they trust me a lot. One time was one of the cats was in labor and she made me and my brother stay with her, whenever one of us would leave her alone she'd come after us, someone had to stay with her through it all (it was her first litter). This guy is so lucky to get to do stuff with these animals.

Feb 19, 2008 - Also in the wild a female tiger would probably be active like she would be in the show, probably not to that extent but the cubs are healthy, the mother is, and I have not seen white tigers with genetic defects.Are you perhaps thinking of albinos? Those animals, are ones with defects such as that, a white tiger is simply that, a white tiger.
YamsRyu Says:
Feb 19, 2008 - Lol. White tigers don't exist in the wild, because of man. They were spotted and killed more easily than their brethren, or were seen as cursed/evil/etc and killed. And if you know about real white tigers, to produce more you have to breed with a non white tiger, cause otherwise the white tiger genes will cancel eachother out and bam, no white cubs. There's also two other colors, not just white that can appear. Oh and incest? Sorry to say it happens for all animals.Blame the poachers.

Jul 8, 2007 - These sick people know what abuse and incest goes into making the unnatural and unhealthy freak that are white tigers, yet they parade them around as if it's a good thing.White Tigers don't exist in the wild, they are a result of breeding Bengal tigers with their offsprings, and the few cubs that turn out with a white color have terrible genetic defects. Those 4 white tiger cubs that they were holding are probably the result of 100 tigers with genetic defects that are thrown away.
