Unfortunately, almost, if not all, "Golden Tigers", are the result of heavy inbreeding to point that many suffer from otherwise uncommon genetic diseases. It's a sad novelty of a creature both beautiful and terrifying in its own right.
Moi aussi. I saw an white tiger in India, and it too suffered from heavy inbreeding, so much in fact, it wasn't a regular attraction due to prolonged health concerns. Tigers are nearly extinct in the wild, but even in captivity, their lives are arguably not worth living.
So, it doesn't need to be sedated to have a photo with it. Like instead of just lying on the ground, it's trying to kill me but it looks like he is swatting butterflies.
