    Didn't the tiger place have a load of dead tiger cubs and tiger body parts frozen?  I don't think they were that much better off in the tiger sanctuary.  Death may have been the more favourable option

    They are not wild tigers , they are tame , they were born in captivity and are happy being around humans

So when the are tiger cubs in the wild who have been abandoned by their mother and will die soon, just let the tiger cubs die in the wild and don't rescue them . 

  Some people do have feeling's for baby animals and want to help it survive 

You appear to be living in a fantasy world. This is utter nonsense - cubs don't get "rescued" from the wild, they are STOLEN - the problem with Zoss is they perpetuate a "Walt Disney" fantasy of wildlife that is nothing to do with ecology, conservation and animal welfare - and you seem to have swallowed the false narrative hook line and sinker. It's a pity you haven't bothered to educate yourself.

I dont think that it true , 

Do you have any evidence to back that up ?

I think that you are the one speaking nonsense .

Cubs are only taken from the wild when their Father gets killed and their life is in danger and they are rescued and bought to safety

Why is petting animals wrong ?

Should people stop petting cats and dogs ?

Should monkeys stop petting each other ?

That just seems to have summed up perfectly the problem with your arguments - you have got so much wrong it is impossible to know where to start.

May I suggest that you just do some very basic thinking bout wildlife conservation and the role of zoos?

I find it hard to understand how someone on this thread could come up with questions that show a complete and utter lack of understanding of even the most elementary points of the discussion.

You've used false premises, false dichotomies and now a false equivalence, yet you don't seem token begin to understand how ludicrous your statements are.

The father has no aspect of the cub upbringing or survival

When a  Male tiger finds a female tiger in the wild , the new Male tiger will fight her current male tiger mate and they will fight to the death and if the new male tiger kills the other tiger , he will then also kill the cubs because it will encourage the female to breed with him .

   So the Cubs Father getting killed (by another tiger) will mean the cubs will also get killed .........................and....................thats........................why..................the Tiger Kingdom goes and rescues them . To stop them getting killed

In this situation the female becomes back into season if the cubs are killed. 

Once the male has mated the male and female seperate . The female is left to provide for the cub.

 

The tiger kingdom cannot in this scenario rescue the cubs because it will already have been killed by the male.

 

The female and male do not form a bond that ties them together.

In the wild , where tigers live

So you think it's OK to take tigers from the wild?

OK - let's talk about precisely where you think they come from - what do you mean by "the wild"?  - and what sub-species and how this impacts the environment they are taken from.

If its a choice of the cubs either  dying or the cubs being taken into care and surviving , I feel the latter is the better option .

   It would be better to bring the cubs into captivity , rather than dying in the wild

Not really : Just  a few people who always moan and complain about everything and criticize Thailand at every available opportunity  and everything's always wrong and Thais are always wrong , they are having difficulty seeing logic and reason .

   They just cannot comprehend that Thais are doing something right , it just doesnt compute

You don't understand the concept of an ecosystem, do you?

You have no idea of how many Tigers live in "the wild" in and around Thailand, 

You have no idea where "the wild" is, have you?

You have no idea about what subspecies live in Thailand

You have no idea of how an ecosystem works or its significance or the significance of tigers within that system.

You have no idea where zoos get there animals

You have no idea of the illegal international trade in tigers,

You have no idea about in-breeding

You have no idea about hybrids or releasing animals into the wild.

You have no idea of the requirements for keeping big cats like tigers in captivity the differences between Tigers and other big cats

You have no idea about CITES and international law and how it affects Thailand.

You just post howler after howler.

 

the sad things, it is people who re this ill-informed about wildlife acy=tually ae part of the problem - they are the ones who allow the extinction of species and destruction of eco-systems.

PLEASE!  get informed on the reality

OK, so how will letting cubs die in the wild be beneficial ?

Instead of saving cubs from being killed by other tigers and brining them onto captivity .

   How would dead cubs benefit the eco system ?

Do you realise that you don't even understand the situation? - it is something you have made up that doesn't actually happen - however in a functioning eco-system animals die - they aren't immortal anywhere. Yes dead cubs are part of an eco-system - however what is deplorable is when they die as the result of human interference - either the mother is killed so the cubs can be captured or they die in traps. you really seem to be clueless and as you don't even see why eating ribs etches part of an ecosystem as I said it is impossible to have a reasoned, informed discussion  with you. You seem totally unaware of your lack of knowledge on this topic.

“Tigers and other big cats used for photo ops are regularly drugged because zoos cannot tame them.

You really have no idea what you are talking about .

There are no traps and poaching is illegal .

No one has suggested in any way that its acceptable  for humans to participate in making tigers go into captivity .

  Humans are rescuing cubs who would other wise die . 

Tiger kingdom celibately killing tigers to get the cubs only exists in your imagination , its nothing to do with reality . 

  It doesn't happen, you are very much mistaken .

Rescue centers are not poachers .

You seem to have the impression that people who rescue baby tigers are poachers
