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.

LOL Merri-the lady wants to pierce her nipples the natural way.
Psycho bytch. LOL.
It was a matter of life or no life, and a brave personal choice.
A brave personal choice is putting a baby up for adoption versus getting an abortion or going to fight terrorists to protect your country. Nursing tiger cubs is not a decision that involves bravery at all - it's just plain gross. There's formula for situations like that.
That's right, of course, for I know that in such cases they generally use milk bottles, though when Kine Skiaker did the same with at least six pups in Norway ( 2002, I thimk it was ), most opinions in the discussion forum were of cheers for her nursing them.
And, anyway, a problem like the terrorism, should require early education rather than elimination, and who´ll be able to give that to a thousand of potential killers when they're barely five years old ?
Because if it not were the strong religious feelings - exacerbated with promises of freedom and rewards - which make the future terrorists to gather at early age, the problem would be almost finished.
But, again, how many people will be able to do that in their own countries ?
I can't help but go back to the fact that this post was about a woman who was suckling tigers. George, you point out that people are supposedly applauded for doing things such as this. If that's the case, I think it is a perfect example of how warped our society is - we applaude those who "save the animals" and turn around and toss away human life. One last thing I would add about your latest comment.... HUH?!?!?!
"A Bolivian woman has saved an abandoned one-week-old puppy by breastfeeding it".
“A few years ago my wife and I rescued an orphaned joey. When my wife who was breastfeeding our new-born daughter saw the kangaroo’s interest, she picked him up and put him on the other tit".
"The wife of an animal refuge worker is credited with saving the life of an infant golden monkey by breastfeeding it".
It’s where they, just as Namita Das, Kine Skiaker and now Hla Htay, think only of saving one or more lives, not how they should do it.
( The "foolishly anonimous" message posted above is mine ) ... Now I just wanted to say this : After all, what she did is a simple good action among the thousands of problems which afflicts us all, and every little good action should be recognized.
Finished, whether right or wrong.
George, I think we can agree that we will disagree on this.
Bonfire of the Vanities #93
[Oh, silly, silly Kevin...letting me host this...]
Welcome to the Sadistic Edition of the Bonfire of the Vanities,
in which I shall exact the punishment these bitches deserve for such substandard performance!
First, welcome back to...
Treat animals like people and treat animals like people. That is the GREENIE way.
Speaking of which, this week, Friday was the anniversary of the liberation of Bergen-Belsen...the ultimate in what that ideology accomplishes on behalf of people...separating the fit from the unfit! Hitler was so GREEN he had an organic garden and made testing on animals illegal...too bad he thought more of animals than he did of Jewish children.
Sorry...people like animals, animals like people. That's what I MEANT to say. There is a logical order to nature; man is at the top. To confuse that whole thing is to deny the natural order of things.
Amen, Cao. Couldn't have said it better myself.
