These are very old photos taken in a zoo in California. The incident was about a tigress gave birth to a rare set of triplet tiger cubs but due to complications in the pregnancy, the cubs were born prematurely and died shortly after birth.
The mother tiger suddenly started to decline in health after recovering from the delivery. The veterinarians felt that the tigress was depressed due to lost of her litter. 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, there were no tiger cubs of the right age to “adopt” by the mourning mother during that time. The only “babies” that could be found quickly were a litter of weanling pigs. The zookeepers and vets wrapped the piglets in tiger skin and placed the babies around the mother tiger.
Would the babies pig become cubs or pork chops?
Why can’t the rest of the world get along if pigs can stay together with tiger? Because we are not wearing tiger skin and the most important answer is, we are not the pigs!

Just wait until she gets hungry and eats one of the pigs. It won't be so cute anymore.
