Thats horrible they kill any tigers, people made the decision to breed them knowing they might have health issues, so they should do everything to ensure all the tigers see a vet and are cared for, to kill them is heartless, and breed animals that have a good chance at deformities is irresponsible and inhumane.
If you look closely, you will see the faint stripes on the flanks and the darker stripes on the tail. Usually, one sees white tigers with darker stripes because that is what zoos and the entertainment industry want to show people. The "surplus" and "less attractive" ones are killed or die. Because white tigers are the result of inbreeding, a very high percentage don't reach their first year, suffering from conditions such as epilepsy, cleft palate, club feet, spinal deformities, etc.
This is very different from the white tigers i'm used to that have black stripes, this is plain white!
