“Cats generally dislike being petted on their lower back, especially near their tails. This man repeatedly stroked the tiger in that area, likely provoking the animal. The final straw was when he cupped it for a photo,” another commenter noted.
“My immediate reaction to this video was a chilling realization: that could have been me! This unsettling video highlights a dangerous trend: many Indian tourists are enticed into risky photo opportunities with tigers in Thailand, often due to social pressure,” remarked a third user.
The viral video has stirred a debate online, with many social media users expressing concerns over animal rights and the dangers tourists face in such places in Thailand.
