I need to lighten up this General Section a little...starting to get depressed!

 

 In a zoo in California, a mother tiger gave birth to a rare set of triplet tiger cubs. Unfortunately, 
due to complications in the pregnancy, the cubs were born prematurely and due to their tiny 
size, they died shortly after birth.
 

The mother tiger after recovering from the delivery, suddenly started to decline in health,
although physically she was fine. The veterinarians felt that the loss of her litter had caused 
the tigress to fall into a depression. The doctors decided that if the tigress could surrogate 
another mother's cubs, perhaps she would improve.  After checking with many other zoos across the country, the depressing news was that there were no tiger cubs of the right age to introduce to the mourning mother.. The veterinarians decided to try something that had never been tried in a zoo environment. Sometimes a mother of one species will take on the care of a different species. The only orphans that could be found quickly, were a litter of weanling pigs. The zoo keepers and vets wrapped the piglets in tiger skin and placed the babies around the mother tiger. Would they become cubs or pork chops?
 


Take a look...you won't believe your eyes!!
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Now, please tell me one more time.......... 

why can't the rest of the world get along?


Just doing it one day at a time. Change is good and it should be looked upon as an improvment! not a problem.

Aww...that was an awesome story.

You are right...why can't we all just agree to disagree!?!?


Don't argue with an idiot; people watching may not be able to tell the difference.

Well, I AM a little sorry (mister smartypants Alanf!!) because it actually is a nice story with really cute photos -- unlike a lot of the forwarded garbage we get. In this case, the TRUTH (that the zoo dresses up these poor animals for entertainment's sake) is a bit stranger than the made up story, IMO.

Oh... Poo on you SAPPO.......


You should just edit your post and let people get the ahhhhh factor going. If you were sorry, you wouldn't have just thrown that crap sandwitch on this easy reading thread...
