I think its from Blood of the Mood but I can't find verification anywhere...
How to check
Quick method: Google archives of nethys violent display. That will bring up
There's a funny white X symbol up top. Thats the glyph of the open road, which is the pathfinder society logo meaning its legal for pfs. The site is PRETTY accurate but nothings foolproof, so if you want to double check it theres...
You may need to do this first because it will tell you its in blood of the moon, which makes it easy if you have to do it....
the long way.
Google pathfinder society additional resources for the list of what books are allowed
hit ctrl f to search for blood of the moon. which reads...
To create a skinwalker (which includes all were-kin), you must have a Chronicle sheet that opens the race as a legal option at character creation.
Note: Racial feats, racial traits, and racial spells are only available for characters of the skinwalker race. Racial equipment and magic items can be purchased and used by any race as long as the specific item permits it.
The becoming a lycanthrope section of this book is not legal for Pathfinder Society play unless noted on a future Chronicle sheet.
Equipment: all equipment on page 30 are legal; Magic Items: all magic items on pages 30-31 are legal; Mystery: the lunar mystery is legal for play.
Hmmm.. I'd need the book to see if that was a racial feat or not. The way the additional resources is worded makes it sound like all the feats are racial feats, since there's no line for feats.

Its odd - this is the text as it reads...
Special: This feat is available to weretigers, weretiger-kin and those who associate with these creatures.
Just what constitutes 'those who associate with these creatures'?
The link is broken I think...
Oops. Fixed link.
I would be inclined to read that as the feat only being available for skinwalkers in pfs.
PFS has no skinwalkers afaik, it might be a boon or auction chronicle at gencon though

My own routine for checking these things is this:
1) Find the thing on Archives of Nethys (because of the powerful search functions)
2) Use that to look it up in the actual Paizo PDF, and see if Nethys quoted it accurately and completely.
3) Compare it to the Additional Resources.

The Additional Resources page says:
Pathfinder Player Companion: Blood of the Moon
To create a skinwalker (which includes all were-kin), you must have a Chronicle sheet that opens the race as a legal option at character creation.Note: Racial feats, racial traits, and racial spells are only available for characters of the skinwalker race. Racial equipment and magic items can be purchased and used by any race as long as the specific item permits it.

Equipment: all equipment on page 30 are legal; Magic Items: all magic items on pages 30-31 are legal; Mystery: the lunar mystery is legal for play.
Unless you're a skinwalker, no feats are available. The only items generally available are listed above: equipment on page 30, magic items on page 30-31, and the lunar mystery.

It's not just a racial feat, though. It's available to "anyone who associates with these creatures". It's no different than THIS thread asking about affinity prereqs for feats. GMs don't have control over a PC's backstory, unless there's a blanket rule saying "skinwalkers don't exist in PFS Golarion" (which there isn't) then this is perfectly acceptable (as in who can say that my PC has never associated with a skinwalker?).
I suppose an argument could be made that since two of the three is a racial requirement (weretiger and weretiger-kin), that that makes it a "racial feat" and thus isn't allowed. I don't have my book with me to see the wording of the rest of the feats, but I'd wager they're the same and if that's the case, then the line Glav quoted "Racial feats, racial traits, and racial spells are only available for characters of the skinwalker race" would be pointless if this isn't what it meant.
Outside of PFS this can be taken by any race, inside of PFS it comes down to whether or not "those who associate with these creatures" means it's not a "racial feat" since that opens it up to any race. I'd argue it's not a "racial feat".

While you are right that a player can make virtually any backstory for her character, for the purposes of Pathfinder Society Organized Play and the Additional Resources page entry that Glav quotes above, only actual skinwalker characters qualify for taking those feats and other character abilities. The page's language allows any current and future skinwalkers to make use of these feats.
