Woman Breastfeeds Tiger Cubs–Ouch!

Drudge includes this snippet in today’s report.

A Burmese woman is breastfeeding two tiger cubs at a zoo in Rangoon after they were removed from their aggressive mother.

Hla Htay, 40, who has three children, the youngest seven months old, offered her services after the Bengal tiger cubs’ mother, Noah Noah, killed the third member of her litter. The two others, a male and a female, were taken from her and now receive bottle feeds as well as Hla Htay’s milk four times a day.

“I felt sorry for them so I decided to feed them before their teeth grow,” she told the Myanmar Times, a privately-owned English-language paper in the capital.
