Should the zoo owner of two liger cubs in Taiwan be held accountable for their parents mating?

The cross breeding of protected species is illegal in Taiwan, but a lion and a tiger were kept in the same pen. The owner denies that we was trying to make them breed. Do you think that this counts as allowing two protected species to breed, or do you think the zoo owner is faultless?

Answer #1

I believe he is fully responsible. Even though he wasn’t exactly “trying” to mate them, he was irresponsible by allowing them to be in the same pen together. He knew there was a chance they were going to mate, and he knew that it was illegal. He can’t be that ignorant. I think it is careless, irresponsible, lazy behavior.

Answer #2

I think it would be ridiculous not to fault the zoo owner. Since he owns protected species he must (or should) have been aquainted with the laws of where he lives and own the zoo. Only an extremely ignorant person could have ignored the fact that if you put two wild animals in a cage together within the same type of species, they are going to mate. That is commen sense and it sounds like hes just trying to save his ass now or really is an idiot.

Answer #3

Oh please, he didnt know that the tigress was in heat? Cat owners know when their cats are in heat, and the zoo keep didnt notice a vocal 400 pound cat in heat?

Answer #4

LIGERS ARE CRUELTY 2 ANIMALS AND A LAW AGAINST NATURE!!! ITS COMMONLY KNOWN THAT LIGERS DIE YOUNG BECAUSE OF HEART AND LUNG PROBLOMS AND REALLY REALLY BIG!!!!!! >:(
