So I held a tiger cub today

Hi there!  This looks like it was a cool experience for you.  However, unfortunately I have to encourage you to please not partake in this kind of thing again.  Cub petting attractions are all extremely inhumane and bad for these cubs.  Especially for white tiger cubs, which suffer from health issues due to extensive inbreeding; the act of breeding white tigers period is inhumane and banned in US accredited zoos.  This cub alone is incredibly young and at risk of becoming very ill, just like a newborn human. They should be with their mothers at this age, and are often taken away from them for things like this. Please don’t take this as a personal attack, my #1 concern is for the cats.  Here are some links as to why cub petting is so terrible.

Imaged mauled a bit for the purpose of tumblr posting; view them all in order here!

(Almost) Every cat in the felidae family! There are of course, always debates among taxonomists about which cat is in which subfamily, and whether subspecies actually deserve to be a species in of themselves. This is a simplification. Of course kitties here aren’t to scale and color tweaked/caricatured to give them more appeal.

As with almost everything I’ve been posting lately, I’ll be selling this as a poster at Ottawa Comiccon~
