An Indian man was brutally attacked by a tiger at an Animal Park in Thailand. The shocking incident was recorded and shared across multiple platforms in social media.
The video has gathered widespread reactions from several social media users and have reignited the debate of animal cruelty and wildlife ethics.
In the video, a man is seen walking beside a tiger. He suddenly stopped and attempted to take a selfie with the animal. However, the tiger became aggressive and attacked him. Another person, who appeared to be an animal caregiver, quickly stepped in and tried to control the tiger. The man suffered minor injuries in the incident.
The video was shared on X by an user Sidharth Shukla on May 29. In the caption, the user wrote, " This is one of those paces where they keep tigers like pets and people can take selfies, feed them etc."
Within hours of being posted, the video got more than 2 million views drawing shocking reaction and massive criticism from users.
Reacting to the incident, a netizen commented, " My immediate reaction to this video was a chilling realization: that could have been me! This chilling video exposes a dangerous trend: many Indian tourists are lured into risky photo-ops with tigers in Thailand, often due to relentless peer pressure."
One of the user claimed that this incident occurred in Tiger Kingdom, Phuket. She added that at the ticket counter the authorities make the visitors sign an undertaking of waiver of their responsibility in case of any animal attack.
Another user said that tigers don't like getting touched at their lower back and the man was continuously petting the tiger at lower back. This must have frustrated the tiger.

This is at Tiger Kingdom, Phuket. At the ticket counter, they make you sign an undertaking of waiver of their responsibility in case of any animal attack.
