This video was mainly about white tigers and what they go through to become the color that they are. It is an informative piece of work. The first white tiger was a color defect that humans found. They tried to breed the white tiger to a normal tiger and the offspring was orange. So, like humans normally do, they caused problems. They chose to breed the offspring with the mother. This produced an animal today that has joint problems and numerous other defects to it. Now a days, to get the beautiful white tigers that they use in magic shows and other entertainment areas, they "throw out" perfectly good tigers until they get the proper one. For example, since they are all in-bred, the baby tiger may not grow to its full potential because it will have so many defects. So, as a result, the baby will die and the humans will just continue on until they get the big, beautiful tiger they are looking for. In nature, you can barely find a white tiger around. They are all orange because of its natural habitat. In the jungle, they need to be able to camouflage themselves for hunting purposes. If they are white, it causes problems because the animal they are trying to hunt will see them coming and be able to escape. It is very unnatural for a tiger to be white. In the end, I believe that it is wrong to use these animals for entertainment purposes since so many are getting hurt from it. It is unfair to the tigers to put them through in-breeding. Most of the time it will not work anyways. Tigers are supposed to be orange, once again humans interfered with nature and harmed another beautiful creature.
