This move comes in response to a letter to Tinder from PETA in which they explain that the large animals in these pictures are often abused or sedated. They suggested that the app ban them in honor of International Tiger Day on July 29.
While the company has not straight up banned them, they have asked users to take down their tiger photos. They’ve also pledged to donate $10,000 to Project Cat.

In addition to being terrible for the tigers, there not great for the people in them either. There isalways a chance the tiger could swipe your face right off. But there’s also another huge drawback to these big cat profile pics: they don’t work.
At this point, they read as cliche, and data suggests they don’t make you look more attractive to potential matches. So, better to opt for something more successful, like you engaging in some kind of sport. If you simply must include a furry friend, make it a dog or cat who's a willing participant in the cuddle.
