That breeding ligers is illegal in Taiwan? I didn't. It's not illegal in the US, in case you wondered.

"We disagree [with] any kind of breeding program, including hybridization or intensive inbreeding, which aims only to create individuals for human attraction, especially those [that] will not exist in the natural world," Kurtis Jai-Chyi, the director of the Pingtung Rescue Center for Endangered Wild Animals at National Pingtung University of Science and Technology in Taiwan.


Which leaves me wondering what his opinion is of, oh, say, English Bulldogs. They are a breed entirely created for human attraction and would never exist in the natural world...
