Description
A white tiger at The Mirage hotel and casino cooling off in the water.
I have mixed emotions about wild animals being in captivity.

Same here. I love to go to the zoo and have the opportunity to see such animals up close, but it just breaks my heart to see an animal pacing back and fourth in its tiny enclosure, not knowing what to do, its instints fighting the cage.

Exactly! 
I do enjoy taking photos of them, but I feel kinda bad about it.

I totally know what you mean, and how you feel. It's an inner conflict.

love the picture.
I love tigers.But I sometimes wonder if it wasn't for people seeing them at places like that would there even be the few left in the wild?
I have been into the secret garden at the mirage and thats a lot more like home for them. I don't think they leave the sameone in the pool area all day they swap them out as the mirage has one of the most sucessful breeding progams for white tigers.
Love the picture tough.

Thanks a lot!
That's a good question... Perhaps it's a really good thing that there are some tigers in captivity so that people can see them and want to protect them. I forgot about that. That makes me feel a bit better about the situation. 
Thanks for taking the time to leave a nice long comment!

I really didn't like that place he was at. It felt more like a human pool to me then a place for a tiger to stay. No trees, grass or anything that resembled the wild.
Nice photograph though. You captured a really nice moment, where he looks relaxed, rather than when he was paceing looking 'insane-ish'. ._.'

Yeah, I agree... 
Thanks!

Yeah, but they could have had patches of dirt/sand where he could have been more out in the open. He is there from 10:30 a.m to 5:30 P.m thats about 7 hours. Who wants to be moved from enclouser to enclours everyday, though it might not be the same tiger.

Um sorry. O_o;
You have no reason to feel that way. You didn't put him there.
Just thinking about it is all.

Yes, I couldn't agree more... It's just not right.

I don't blame him/her. If I worked long hours on stage in front of live audiences, I think I'd need a day at the pool myself.
