for the lazy: Sriracha Tiger Zoo, Thailand.

"As it happens, this sort of intermingling of species is not at all unusual at the Sriracha Tiger Zoo, where "creating successful relationships with animals of different species" is something of a guiding principle. The facility, more accurately described as part zoo and part circus, boasts offbeat attractions like basketball-playing elephants, "lady crocodile wrestlers," and a petting zoo where customers can bottle-feed baby tigers with their own bare hands."

tl;dr - tigeress didn't lose cubs, is from a zoo which does quirky stuff like this.

The mother tiger pictured above, who has been photographed on other occasions suckling piglets au naturel, was herself nursed by a pig in infancy and apparently regards the other species as family, not prey.

But...awwwwwwwww.

I have been to this zoo! It was the most bizarre thing I've ever seen. I did bottle feed a tiger cub. Other attractions I remember were being able to purchase these fishing-rod like things with raw chickens that you could dangle over the crocodile pit and feed them. Also, pig races. This place was fucking sweet.

[–][deleted] 9 points10 points ago

Yep. It's a horrible place.

"Although these pictures might appear charming and innocent, the AWI noted back in 2004 that there may be a darker side to the Sriracha Tiger Zoo, as press reports stated that Sriracha was under investigation for illegally breeding protected wildlife for commercial export and had been implicated in the sale of a hundred tigers to China (where there is strong demand for tiger body parts for use in traditional Chinese medicines). The AWI also noted that in late 2004 the zoo was closed for a month when between 80 and 100 tigers died or were euthanized due to an avian influenza (probably spread via the raw chicken carcasses fed to the tigers) that swept through the facility."

I wouldn't be so quick to judge. It sounds like this facility has a large amount of human-animal interaction. This means that the animals are getting the attention and love that they need. Silly activities like this help keep their mind active and keep the animals happy, otherwise they can sometimes become depressed in captivity. Most zoos don't just go out and capture animals from the wild and put them in cages, most animals are either bred in captivity or are found with some sort of injury and after healing can no longer survive in the wild.

It's sad to see some animals cooped up in a cage, but most of them would simply die in the wild. At least in this scenario they are getting plenty of attention and can be fairly active.

[–]DefinitelyRelephant 6 points7 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

This means that the animals are getting the attention and love that they need.

The vast majority of the animal world has no inborn need for human interaction - dogs and arguably, housecats being obvious exceptions.

But a tiger does not give a fuck about human interaction, beyond its usefulness in breaking up the tedium of basically being a prisoner (compare amount of stimulation and ability to roam in its natural habitat to being locked up in a zoo).

[–]redmongoose 12 points13 points ago*

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I can't imagine separating baby tigers from their mothers to allow visitors the novelty of bottle-feeding them is ideal, either. Same goes for switching out babies because it looks funny.

I just can't find this adorable. I'm actually pretty disappointed that the consensus seems to be "but... look at them! so cute!"

edit: I found some TripAdvisor reviews, most people seem to hate it. The first review is kind of misinformed, but there was a pretty depressing picture of one of the starving cubs (they keep them starving so people can bottlefeed them) along with it.

[–]Toribor 6 points7 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

No necessary need for human interaction but many animals are social creatures and still need interaction. Sometimes it isn't feasible to have an entire social cluster of a certain species (particularly if it was an animal rescued after an injury), that doesn't mean they should sit and be lonely the rest of their lives or that they should be released in the wild to die.

[–]redmongoose 6 points7 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

They're taking tiger cubs away from their mothers and swapping them with piglets. There's no justifying what the facility is doing because it's not for compassionate reasons.

The Animal Welfare Institute reported in 2004 that the zoo had been using tigers and elephants in circus shows, including tigers leaping through rings of fire, walking across a double tightrope, parading around a ring on hind legs, and riding on horseback. AWI reported "potentially dangerous human-tiger and human-elephant close interaction", "bizarre multi-species enclosures", tigers being struck with steel poles by trainers and implications that tigers were being bred for export to China.

[–]Toribor 3 points4 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Ah, in that case that is pretty messed up. I was speaking in more of a general sense, but yeah, it sounds like this is definitely an exception to what would be considered reasonable.

[–]tiktaaalik 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Agreed. I visited this zoo when I was in Thailand and definitely felt it wasn't a humane habitat for these animals.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago*

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

This was actually posted a little while back. Some Thailand Redditors commented, saying that the whole zoo is horribly run, and how they treat the animals very inhumanely (much like a regular circus with animals).

Most of the locals try to encourage tourists not to go there, as it's very disturbing. Wish I could find the post.

According to Wikipedia, they force tigers to jump through rings of fire, and they breed many of the tigers for export into China. Obviously they do not go to the zoo's...

Snopes wrote a passage on it. It's really quite disturbing:

"Although these pictures might appear charming and innocent, the AWI noted back in 2004 that there may be a darker side to the Sriracha Tiger Zoo, as press reports stated that Sriracha was under investigation for illegally breeding protected wildlife for commercial export and had been implicated in the sale of a hundred tigers to China (where there is strong demand for tiger body parts for use in traditional Chinese medicines).

Not quite! From your source:

Status: Real photos, inaccurate description

Note that Snopes is comparing to email, you can read it for yourself, but although the backstory has been twisted, Snopes provides this source, which shows that this zoo had a history of tigers nursing pigs and visa-versa.

Snopes also notes that 80-100 tigers at the zoo died from avian flu in 2004, the same year these pictures are from.

No. It's not true that she lost her cubs, this is from a zoo in thailand that likes to do weird stuff like this. The tiger herself was raised by pigs, so she sees pigs as like weird, bald tigers.

My heart melted at the bottom right photo, that's just too cute. I also find it really interesting that she would 'adopt' another species because her babies died, didn't know animals did that. (Link from @Jame-jame)

If you read it to the end, they also told, that the tigress was raised up by a pig originally. :D

She didn't lose her cubs. The zookeepers just switched her cubs with a sow's piglets to see what would happen. There's pictures of the sow with the cubs too.

The skeptic in me refuses to believe that the tiger thought that piglets in a tiger suit are tiger cubs.

How do you know when a zoo tiger is depressed? Do they lay around all day looking sad, cause if so, that's like every zoo tiger I've ever seen.

This was kind of heart-wrenchingly cute, until I realized the pigs will become bacon when the jig is up.

For all those people saying this is completely fake. It's really not?? I think the depression thing could be but all the snopes/urban legends crap still states this tiger suckled a pig when it was a baby and is now doing the same and is taking a maternal role for these piglets now.

In some years when the living bacons/pork chops get older and larger, I bet she's just gonna eat them. She's only waiting for them to grow. Smart cat. Anyone care to wager?
