PORK
CHOPS 
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
cub's, 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...
Now, please tell
me one more time .........?
Why
can't the rest of the world get along??
