The New Baby White Tiger Is...Um...Special
A German zoo has released the first video of a new baby white tiger cub born there 8 weeks ago with a genetic defect that caused it to be born with stripes. The zoo has kept the tiger's birth a secret until now "due to the unlikelihood of its survival." :( :( :(! But it seems...okay...now. Well, you decide. It's kind of a...spaz. It's special. It's a very special tiger that will teach its handlers about patience and unconditional love, until one day when it eats them by accident because it thinks they're Skittles.
Oh my god, wait, no: IT'S TIGGER! An actual Tigger has been born!

Love the tiger. Hate that woman.

It's like a dachshund, but a tiger.

In an extremely :( turn of events, most white tigers are deformed or disabled because they can only be made through cross-breeding. White tigers are very rare, so the 50 or so that exist have to mate, and some are siblings or cousins.
I personally think this tiger is the kitty version of Harry Caray.
Score = 7
It is really sad, because the white coat is a defect itself, so the inbreeding just causes it to get worse and worse so the majority of white tigers have major birth defects. Totally :(:(

That's really scary. Yet I can't stop looking at it. And laughing.
So, basically, that tiger = the economy.
Score = 10
I wasn't aware that being born with stripes was a life threatening genetic defect. Are they saying that they don't expect it to live long because it can no longer blend in with the treeline?

Speaking of tigers, the San Francisco Zoo has new advertisements out that use an image of a tiger.....
UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUHHHHHHHHHMMMMMMMMMMMM maybe a bit too soon, SF Zoo.

Not at all. I'm in the Bay Area too and everybody knows those shitbirds had it coming. The only sad part of the story is that the tiger had to die.
Score = 3
Ha ha, no way! I was totally on the side of that poor tiger. They should do an ad featuring a tiger with a beer can crushed in its jaws.
Score = 3
I've never set foot in our sad little zoo, but if they made that ad I'd become a lifetime member.

I don't think he likes hugs.
