Liverpool Lou Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 (edited) 10 hours ago, Mac Mickmanus said: Male tigers fight each other to be leader of the herd and being leader of the herd gives them the right to breed with the females . When one tiger fights and kills a rival tiger and becomes leader of the herd, he will also kill any cub tigers , he will do this because it encourages the female tigers to breed again . Er, no, tigers do not live in herds, fighting for control of their (captive) females and killing the cubs. You're getting confused with lions. Sorry.

atpeace Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 12 hours ago, Fortescue said: I should say it's more humiliating for the human than for the tiger, since it shows absolutely no respect for the animal as an alpha predator. If you want to cuddle a tiger, buy a toy and watch Disney animations, these wild animals have millenia of predatory instincts developed in them. Do you imagine that being born in captivity for one or two generations changes that? The answer to that question can be found in the number of idiots in South Africa and elsewhere that have been killed, maimed, dismembered and eaten when they thought they had a friendly relationship with the beast. True bit how many more died driving to the Zoo and never got the chance to pet? Both are small risks IMO. Something seems wrong about caging wild animals and the experience of petting them contrived and embarrassing. If it floats his daughters boat and they are morally cool with it, then pet and pose for pics to their hearts content. Probably a lot of FB likes to be had.

Well , the point still stands, If a Tiger sees another Male tiger , they will likely fight for supremacy and if the new tiger wins, he will kill the females tiger cubs . Those soon to be killed tiger cubs are rescued and then taken to tiger kingdoms 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you even know where you are? This is not the place to find tree-huggers. There's also quite a large middle ground between hippie tree-hugging vegans and moronic tourists who don't even realise that what they are participating in harms animals. I would have thought that maybe the fact that only one commenter has actually entertained your delusions might have clued you in to the fact that your opinion is very much the minority among people who know anything about Thailand. If you post on a public forum, expect responses from users on that forum. What you "specifically asked" doesn't come into it. 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Male tigers normally kill the cubs that are not theirs just in order to mate with the mother or to take over the territory and exert their dominance over that region. male tigers will also not hesitate to kill the cubs of their ex-mates just in order to mate again with the females during the times when there are not mating partners available to them. https://onlyzoology.com/do-male-tigers-help-raise-cubs-why-do-tigers-kill-cubs-and-more-to-know/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think they were that much better off in the tiger sanctuary. Death may have been the more favourable option. Best not to associate yourself with any animal tourism in Thailand, unless you are very sure that the animals are not being abused and are being cared for properly. I thought the tourist attraction was shut down after authorities discovered the place was just posing as a tourist attraction to disguise the fact they were in the illegal but lucrative biz of selling tiger parts to a Chinese medicine man.

LarrySR Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 (edited) QUOTE from a tourist that visited the Tiger Temple... "I was nervous about going into the Temple, however I was reassured by the staff that as the tigers had been hand reared, they were so used to humans they were completely tame." But no worries, the Tiger Temple paid the medical bills after she was mauled. Edited May 7, 2022 by LarrySR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite a lot of posts from the tree huggers I specifically asked not to bother to chime in, we know your views and feelings, I do not want to hear more of them. My son went to wash elephants in Chiang Mai's rivers, came back full of how elephant places abused elephants and how we must not ride on them as the poor things suffer from bad backs etc. Utter cobblers of course but that is what these so-called animal lovers tell them. Of course he was horrified when I told him that no one wants a redundant working animal or could look after it or afford to feed it so now tractors and winches have replaced elephants what did he suggest, apart from a bullet, be done with them? He had no answer, and none of the tree huggers can answer that question sensibly. "Elephant sanctuaries" they will say glibly, because that is what they have been told. Fine, who pays for those? Who buys the land, puts elephant-proof fences around it so they don't wander off and scoff some poor farmers crops? Who pays the men to care for them? Who pays the fodder bill day after day for 5o years or more? Ditto tiger sanctuaries where tourists don't visit or interact. Who pays? Funny really, the most vociferous animal rights proponents cannot answer that question. They'll glibly tell you endangered species must be protected, but cannot think of a way to do it that isn't going to cost an awful lot of money. So elephant football actually works, as does elephant artistry, the animals get some exercise, earn money which pays for their keep. Same with tigers, those 140 odd tigers in Kanchanaburi were bonded to the monks in a personal way, went for daily walks, were human-socialised. So maybe some cubs were killed and income derived from body parts - yes, it is a hateful business but tigers are NOT pussy cats, they eat a lot and that costs a lot. The monks managed to keep 140 odd tigers self-supporting and contented and no evidence of drugging. Along come do-gooders, government takes the cats away and 2/3 die in cramped cages. For me they were better off exploited for tourists, they got fed, walked, socialised and were not locked away in cramped quarters with no sort of life. And apart from some looney-toons pushing my buttons, is there anywhere else apart from Pattaya? You are a truly sickening person 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
