Dangers of Hybridizing Lions & Tigers

I was unaware of the intense problems that occur when hybridizing lions and tigers. I have heard of ligers and tigons and even seen photos, and everything looks hunky dory, but behind the scenes we need to know what is going on with these albeit beautiful animals. Check out this video to find out to get informed: If we don’t speak up and spread the word, who will? These animals cannot speak for themselves, except through their suffering! That’s not fair and the entire thing is unnatural. Spread the word, this post and the video above to others to educate them about this issue [ ... ]

You probably stepped in an ant mound without even knowing it! They are super quick, and all swarm up your legs, or whatever body part is [ ... ]
