white tiger sign at Memphis Zoo

Although they do exhibit a white and golden tiger (against AZA protocol), at least they make some attempt to address the controversy. Fort Worth has a similar sign. Memphis also has breeding SSP sumatrans that they rotate into exhibit.

I don't think exhibiting is what the AZA frowns on nearly as much as breeding. But that's just my impression.
 
Im pretty sure its the breeding of such tigers. If i remember right, Lowey had one for a time after their tiger was shot.
 
After this one dies does that mean no replacement white tiger, like a rescued white tiger? The sign is pretty educational and addresses the controversy. Is the AZA's stance just no breeding of white tigers but no rule on displaying them?
