Ligers: A Cruelty Unveiled

READ FIRST:
COMMENTS WERE DISABLED DUE TO THE FACT THAT I CANNOT REPLY TO EVERYONE'S COMMENTS/STATEMENTS REGARDING INFORMATION IN THIS VIDEO.
I understand that this is a controversial topic. YES, some ligers are healthy and even outlive their parents, HOWEVER, this video addresses issues regarding the majority of ligers which are unhealthy due to genetic defects caused by hybridization. All information here comes from credible sources (AKA not exploiters of ligers, but rather unbiased reports). Wether you belive in the scientific aspect of the cruelty or not, these animals are "showcase" animals. They are exploited and often kept in poor conditions as most live in roadside or unregulated facilities. Some, though rare, are well cared for, I am not denying that, but they are stull bred for exploitation, NOT conservation like many claim. Those who breed them will often decieve the public by using their liger to try and disprove claims of cruelty through lies and false information. It is a free country and you are free to choose what to believe, however, this is cruelty. Yes, they are beautiful but don't you think they deserve better than being a tool for man kind's exploitation?
Thank you for taking the time to read this and watch the video. LINK: Youtube

  1. This is not an exploitation. This is a normal experimentation, and as a matter of fact, this experimentation have produced some unexpected results. Ligers may not be species, but they are themselves helping the survivals of Tigers and lions by generating revenues. People are willing to pay more to watch such species. In the above video, about ligers cruelty, there are many false news.
