These people do comemrcial breeding while the wild counterparts of these tigers will become extinct within the first half of this century. The other tigers in the zoo balance on ropes and get beaten if they don't.

It IS cute and it is not a bad thing. It is good that all these animals are happy together! It does not matter if tourists happen to like seeing cross-species, that is a GOOD thing. It enables the zoo to better care for the animals.. And, if I may risk being a bit sentimental, maybe it suggests that we, humans, might be able to get along a bit more, despite differences... Not sure why Julie is so critical about this situation, everyone is safe and happy. There are a lot of unhappy endings to animal stories... maybe she should devout her studies toward those... like the millions of cats and dogs put down in this BIG FAT SELFISH country of ours. There is nothing wrong with finding this story cute or enchanting, because it is both. You are just a tender-hearted sweet animal lover.. and that is NOT IDIOT!!! Loopy Loo - you are NOT an idiot.
