PORK CHOPS

In a zoo in California , a mother tiger gave birth to a rare set of triplet tiger
cubs. Unfortunately,due to complications in the pregnancy, the cubs were born prematurely
and due to their tiny size,
they died shortly after birth.
The mother tiger after recovering from the delivery, suddenly started to
decline in health, although physically she was fine. The veterinarians felt
that the loss of her litter had caused
the tigress to fall into a depression. The doctors decided that
if the tigress could surrogate another
mother's cubs, perhaps she would improve.
After checking with many other zoos across the country, the depressing news was
that there were no
tiger cubs of the right age to introduce to the mourning mother. The
veterinarians decided
to try something that had never been tried in a zoo environment. Sometimes a
mother of one species
will take on the care of a different species. The only 'orphans' that could be found quickly,
were a litter of weanling pigs. The zoo keepers and vets wrapped the piglets in tiger skin and placed the
babies around the mother tiger. Would they become cubs or pork chops??
Take a look...



Now, please tell me one more time .?
Why can't the rest of the world just get along???
