This is Tyson, a Bengal tiger I met in the Everglades in Florida. He was very young, and in captivity, but would eventually be released. He was lovely, and I watched him being fed and take a nap.

Be released? Where would this cub be released? In the wild? That's extremely unlikely - you cannot raise a cub that has been raised by people and throw it out in the wild expecting it to survive.

This cub is going to remain in captivity.

I'm only going by what they said - maybe they meant into a wildlife preserve or something? I don't know.

I'm not upset with you so no worries. However, if they said that the cub is going to be "released" anywhere, that is either a blatant lie or a serious attempt at misleading people. I think people who work closely with animals like that should be held responsible for the things they say since they are in a big position to educate people. Perhaps they were trying to reassure the animal rights people of his audience, but in any case, that statement rubs me the wrong way.
