A lot of zoo's that are not part of a big orginisation or something often just breed for the summer so the public can see cubs of any species, and then need to dispose of them when high season is over. Then they are either killed or send to a shelter, and those are quickely filling up all over the place. It's a shame people use animals this way. Yet nothing is done about it.
Official breeding between official zoo's is done using bloodlines, pretty much just like in race horse breeding. White tigers, like I said, can't officialy be bred, but occasionaly a zoo gets permission (like the zoo I go to for photography, they got permission to breed white tigers a couple of years back). But yea, there are also the exotic animal traders who just grab to random animals and sees what happens to sell the cubs. Adult White's can go for more then $40.000, and cubs for over $70.000 in legal cirquits and for a few hundred in the illegal animal trade.
(Might be a good idea to split XD)
