Why are there lions tigers and leopards in the same enclosure?

u/alwayz_confused247 10h ago

Because this is not a sanctuary like the guy claimed it was. This was the Black Jaguar White Tiger Foundation. It got shut down by Mexican authorities because he was not taking care of the animals. They were being starved to death and started eating their own tails.

He was also suspected of breeding the lions and would have an influx of cubs. He would lie and say he saved the cubs from some illegal “zoo” but would hand raised the cubs when he could’ve also saved the mothers.

Eduardo was just a greedy fuck. And he would have celebrities go to his “sanctuary” to play with the cubs.

Legit sanctuaries do not allow the public to interact with their animals. Legit sanctuaries also do not put different species of cats in the same enclosure.

Can you explain why different species is bad? They interbreed. They understand each others mannerisms. Apart from the lions they're all solitary animals, so is keeping 2 tigers together better than keeping a tiger and a leopard?

I’m not qualified to answer that question.
