White tiger hits Lion, originally uploaded by floridapfe.
Here’s a shot taken by a very good Korean photographer. Rather than rag on the guy, who was merely taking a picture of a very compelling scene, I’m going to take a broadside at the Everland Zoo, where the shot was taken.
The policy of putting tigers and lions together in the same enclosure for the entertainment of the public has led to several recent tiger deaths. It wasn’t long ago that I saw a TV program documenting the practice on the Everland “Safari” tour. Several of the animals were wounded and distressed.
More at Brian in Jeollanam-do.
And a video:
If you ever visit Everland please let them know you think the practice is cruel. They’re a zoo and have a duty to protect the animals in their care.
