Although I've not read the article I'm not surprised, the case for not giving human babies raw cows' milk is well documented (It's why there's such a big market for 'formula' infant feeds). I think it would have been better to contact a Zoo for feeding advice though personally I would want more than a three legged stool if I were to try milking a female tiger!
