As a result of this tragedy, Asim is now the male tiger that most of the females want to mate with. sarc

The male was named Asim. Sounds like a name associated with the religion of peace. Theres your answer. We know how they feel about women!

Maybe Gillette needs to film a commercial for tigers.

Suddenly, artificial insemination looks like a good idea. Yeah, but who in their right mind is gonna volunteer to "collect" semen from a 600-pound aggressive tiger?

Not me, man.

Nature doesn’t give a damn about leftist sensitivities.
Boo-frickin’-hoo.

“Asim, whose name means ‘Protector’ in Arabic, was moved to the zoo as a new mate for resident female, Melati.”
Okay. So this was NOT male toxicity. It was instead a culturally enriching example of inclusion and diversity.
But yes, Gillette really should do another commercial featuring this fella.

Nature rarely acts as we would have it act.

The zoo says 10-year-old Melati died Friday during her first encounter with Asim, a seven-year-old male who was shipped in from Denmark last month. There's a lesson here. What are the odds that he strolled across the bridge from Malmö?

Sounds like the zoo keepers didn’t know what the hell they were doing. Some people should get fired.

This is what wild animals do. It’s nature. Animals don’t obey people rules.

Don’t know but my guess would be probably not, as the two would not be forced into close proximity of each other by Humans wanting them to get along and mate.....
Female would likely avoid the male completely if possible, and when she was ready to mate would the male smell and pursue her...
But that’s just conjecture on my part.

You have to talk dirty to them first.

Only 10 days and then you just throw them together? What are these people idiots? How about a month of side by side cages. And then a month of putting the female in male cage INSIDE a smaller cage. And then sedating both tigers before removing any cage. And then and then and then...

At least play some Barry White music when they’re together!

Listening to mating cats in the back yard could give you a clue. Sort of a love hate thing.
