The London Telegraph reports that a woman is breastfeeding two endangered tiger cubs.
A Burmese woman has been breastfeeding two Bengal tiger cubs, according to the London Telegraph.
Hla Htay, 40, a mother of three apparently began feeding the cubs at a zoo in Rangoon after they were removed from their “aggressive mother,†the Telegraph reported.
The mother tiger apparently killed a third cub from her litter.
Here’s the part that made me sick…
"I felt sorry for them so I decided to feed them before their teeth grow," she told the privately-owned English-language paper Myanmar Times, the Telegraph reported.
Before their teeth grow. Hmmm….I wonder how she will be alerted to their teeth growing? [insert loud piercing scream here]
The Bengal tiger is listed as endangered on the World Conservation Union’s red list, with the global population estimated at fewer than 2,500, according to the paper, which reported that a tenth of them live in Burma.
The tigers are apparently threatened by poachers who kill them for medicines and trophies.
…and this message brought to you by PETA. Save the tigers and don’t forget to have your pets spayed or neutered.
