Hi Wade,
I went Circus Krone last sunday. I'm attaching some pictures of Martin Lacey's new white tiger cubs. The cubs live together with a white lion cub, born to Tonga and Princess.

These tiger cubs look like they have BAD eye problems. I guess it doesn`t matter for use in the circus, but they should never be allowed to breed themselves.

Nici,
What's wrong with their eyes? They look fine to me and I have seen a "few." You are not another nitwit who thinks inbreeding is a problem are you? Defective eyes, chapel hips, pin heads, etc. are all linked to the defective "white" gene. No you don't want it in the circus or anyplace else for that matter, but if you want white the bad will pop up. No they don't "breed themselves" they breed other tiger's. It is only humans that "can go f**k themselves." :)

I don`t think being this cross-eyed (especially the first cub) is normal. But you see it very often in wite tigers or lions. I do not know if it comes with the white gene or if it`s inbreeding, or both, but I do not think it`s right to breed with animals who have health defects. If that means no white tigers in captivity, I`m ok with it.

Nici,
Again, I have know idea what you are looking at. The eyes are not crossed at all. The first tiger's eyes are "hooded" for the moment which is the result of looking at something in the distance that it is concerned/apprehensive about. Probably the photographer. Perfectly normal for any feline/canine. You can bet on it being connected to the white gene, as well as the other issues I listed. They are not as noticeable to the uneducated so they tend to overlook them and instead focus on the eye's which are more obvious.
