Because if they are kept in captivity they dont know how to fend for them selfs and catch there own food and they become defencless angainst the world
there are more tigers living in captivity than in the wild
Around 5500 in the wild..20,000 or more in captivity. But that also depends entierly on the species. There are 96 royal white tigers, all in captivity. 10 Maltese tigers with one left in the wild and the rest in captivity
All known naturally occurring White tigers - and there's been preciously few of those - have been bengal tigers. Don't Think there are any White siberian tigers in the wild. Might be a bengal/siberian White cross in captivity somewhere. Which would most likely have the same Life expectancy as its parents.
All tigers live longer in captivity than in the wild, up to 23 years or so. White tigers are Bengals only, unless crossbred with Siberians.
Tigers have a lifespan of 10-15 years in the wild. They can live longer than 20 years in captivity. Because of competition for food and hunting, the chances of a wild tiger reaching 20 years is very rare.

Beleive it or not an endangered species would live longer in the wild than in captivity. They also have a better chance of reproducing young in the wild,giving them a better chance of not being endangered.
Sea Lions live longer in captivity. An average life span for a sea lion in the wild is 18 years and 23 in captivity. But, that does not mean an animal in the wild can't live longer than one in captivity.
Most tigers will choose to live alone or with a mate and cubs. This means that there are usually no more than 5 tigers that live together at a time.
That rather depends on which species you're asking about. Some species live less than ten years, while the larger pythons can live more than forty years. I have African Rock Pythons in my collection that were at least ten years old when I got them - and they've been with me more than twenty years now !
sadly yes there are less than 5,000 Siberian tigers left in the world because of poachers killing them for their fur and around about 500-700 are in captivity
yes
