Ugly Overload

2006-10-23 02:26:27.552117+02 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

You have, undoubtedly, seen Cute Overload. Ugly Overload is exactly what you'd expect, but with a little education, for instance this entry on white tigers points to Big Cat Rescue on the fraud of white tigers.

The only conceivable legitimate reason for exhibiting a white tiger would be for educational purposes to clearly and unequivocally illustrate to the public the process of natural selection and how, when a deleterious recessive genetic mutation randomly occurs that is disadvantageous for the survival of the animal, such as white color in a tropical jungle environment, the animal does not survive to pass on that genetic mutation or disadvantageous characteristic to its offspring.
