Selfserving agenda manipulation at it's finest. Ghost White?????

However their beauty has made them a prized hunting trophy and following years of forced removals into zoos and captive breeding camps around the world, the White Lion has become technically extinct in the wild.


Lounging gracefully in the long grass in the Limpopo Province of South Africa, these majestic White Lions wait patiently for their release back into the wild.

Don't know if it exists today

but many years ago the big ag

school in Nebraska developed

a line of "exotic" feeds and

the Ringling show became one

of the testing sites for these

frozen logs of meat & nutrients

that were supposedly a complete

diet formula for the cats

As I recall they didn't go over

very well with some trainers

that either refused to use them

or at least supplement them

with real meat with bones (for

dental hygiene)

Chic,
They found out how "ingrained" circus tradition was. Right or wrong it will be done this way. Add to that "we do it better in Europe" and they were banging on a brick wall. LOL
