On August 31, 2026, a 10-day-old white tiger cub named Graham died at the roadside zoo Shalom Wildlife “Sanctuary” in West Bend, Wisconsin. Just two months before, a white tiger named Ginger had died at age 11. Ginger had given birth to at least eleven cubs since 2021, five of whom are dead from stillbirths, drowning, or other causes.
White tigers are a genetic anomaly and breeding them often leads to serious health issues like stillbirths, spinal deformities, and heart problems. So why tf does Shalom Wildlife “Sanctuary” keep doing this as the deaths stack up? 🤬🤬🤬 No true sanctuary would breed more animals to spend their lives in cages and go through heartbreaking deaths.
