A housewife in Myanmar is breastfeeding two Bengal tiger cubs!
Three times a day, she schleps to the Yangon Zoo where she breastfeeds the hungry black-striped, orange-brown cubs rejected by their natural mother.
"The cubs are just like my babies," the courageous but not overly bright, Hla Htay told Fuji TV as one of the baby big cats suckled her breast.
Three cubs were born at the zoo in mid-March, but their mother killed one and refused to nurse the others. Veterinarians rescued the other two but had little success bottle feeding them.
The zoo says the breastfeeding will stop by the end of April or when the cubs start teething -- whichever comes first.
Yikes!

that's quite a... umm... sacrifice? wow, it's strange, but I guess if that's what it takes, it's nice that someone has the, umm, dedication?
I think that's the most disturbing thing I've ever heard.

Uhhh, Sure hope clawing doesn't bring an end the feeding program?
eccch. It's all fun and games until someone loses a breast. Umm...couldn't she have used a pump? I am so disturbed!
It gets worse, people. There are pictures out there of this crazy woman feeding these cubs.
My eyes! It burns....
