How degrading for the animal, touch him in an annoying way and play with his tail while never looking once in his face, swines 😡 tourists who do this are scum.
An American owned this place a few years ago, if you expect common decency to be of more importance than money to an American you are dreaming. Greed wins every time with them.
That giant was definitely a Bengal tiger, not Siberian. You can tell by the thin layer of fur and the distinctive tail that gets thinner towards the end.
NEVER NEVER NEVER go to this place. These tigers are drugged, cruelly treated. Babies are farmed, taken away from their mothers. THINK.... Why are wild tigers willing to do this. They should be WILD and free, not in cages to 'entertain
- it´s well known that drugging the Tigers is the way it´s done several places in the South East Asia. Full grown Tigers accepting hundreds of Tourist up close is proof enough that something is not right. Tigers a by nature very lone rangers, that will travel very long distances just to mate - and when they meet its even dangerous for both parts. If you have a "normal" zoo with Tigers, just jump into their area and check it out. - If it was only one Tiger then perhaps it could be the way it was raised a long with a very friendly and social personality - but Tigers by Nature are clever, fearsome and extremely strong predators.

Also Born free Foundation and World Animal Protection are working on stopping a 'new' temple being ste up under the same guise, now Tiger Temple has been closed down. Please publicise so people vote to stop it and don't visit
As much as I ❤️ and respect tigers I would NEVER in my life wanna be in a cage with one! Especially taking pictures with one,they’re ferocious and unpredictable
@@geneva4034 On youtube, I believe about 8 years ago. It might be still up if they haven't taken it down due to the gruesomeness. The boy's father picked him up to take him out, and you can see where the arm was missing.
In Tiger temple they do drug the Tigers but Tiger Kingdom is an alternative to that. Plus Tigers often are active during the night for hunting their prey
Thai police have intercepted a monk trying to flee the country's controversial "tiger temple" in a truck carrying fangs and skins. Wildlife officials have been camped outside the Thai Buddhist temple, which was shut down earlier this week amid allegations of wildlife trafficking, animal cruelty and illegal breeding.
The Tiger Temple, one of country's top tourist attractions attracting millions of visitors over decades, was shutdown last week after the discovery of tiger cubs and other species stuffed in freezers.Government officials removed 137 tigers from the temple, 150 kilometres west of Bangkok, as police investigated claims that people linked to the temple were breeding tigers to feed the market for wildlifeparts in China and other countries.
that's great to hear that place was shut down. Those people who worked there weren't monks, they were frauds. They should all be put in jail, what they did was absolutely sickening
You know tigers sleep for about 18 20 hours of the day? your negative, ignorant and judgmental thinking is far worse than anything going on in that park.
Zoney06 These tigers are obviously drugged. If you ever been around a real wild tiger even a small tiger you would realize how agressive and posessive they are, I dare you to even come close to the cage. In this case, these tigers look high and upset, they're just so addicted waiting to be drugged
All the tigers are drugged and lethargic. Tigers don't like to be petted and touched by strangers. One swipe would end a human life. This place must be shut down.
100% correct! Completely unacceptable both for the tigers and the humans! I've seen too many videos of people taking pictures with a tiger, lion, and bear and then all of a sudden the animals turned their heads and bit the humans on the throat and blood shot out everywhere and the humans ended up bitten into pieces! It's one of the most disgusting things I've ever seen! If the tiger bites the dude at 3:14 (While he grabs the tiger's tail) do you think those Thai idiots are going to save him? It takes less than 10 seconds for a tiger to kill a human! Why take that chance? Like hell to the no!
this is so disturbing. this is totally supporting the tiger/lion "petting" industry... how is is natural for a tiger to live in a tiny enclosure with fake grass under its feet? they constantly stimulate these cubes to be awake so people can pet and take photos with them and when they are small they need to sleep a lot... this is ALL about turning a profit at another's expense.
Only by humans. Humans are the worst of the worst species that walk this once beautiful planet. The quicker we die out the better off this world will be.
Harry fang, what kind of stupid argument is that you moron, there are lots of neutral or win win situation in life also, how fucked up are you in life to support this abuse seriously
What do you mean tigers in heaven? Are you implying that you have no more hope in the tiger’s survival population so since you’re not being optimistic, you are giving up on them and saying the whole tiger species would be gone.. forever in heaven?
Absolutely something is NOT right here! The tiger are all laying in the same position and not even interacting with people - they don't even look at anyone! This place should be shut down! All these gorgeous creatures are made submissive to profit!
It's Thailand, probably the most corrupt place on Earth! These savages are known to kidnap children for their organs so I wouldn't be surprised if they sedated the hell out of these tigers to keep them from tearing the tourists to pieces!
there is no way in the hell a tiger is going to be that docile especially when a man is standing behind him. you can say the tiger is scared, from the way its ears are bent backwards.. these tigers are either drugged or incredibly abused.
Wow.. I know you're being sympathetic to tigers. But you might want to get yourself checked out for saying things like that. You don't know the story behind everything. Those tourists have no idea about how these tigers are being treated. And so do you, you don't know. As far as I know you're just assuming. These workers are probably just there to take care of tigers. Could be drugs involve or maybe not. If so, all of them might be involve, maybe some of them have no clue. The point is, don't be too fast to judge. And never wish death on anybody, especially if you don't even know them. Sicko
They are so huge. I had the chance to encounter one at the Exxon I used to work at. I couldn't believe our owners actually convinced Exxon corporate to bring the animal out. There were 2 coolers filled with meat, 3 tranq pistols and about 5 or 6 animal trainers. The tiger's paw was as big as my mid section. He was so amazing to be up close to.
It only takes a split second for the Tiger to strike out at someone because they are annoyed by someone's gesture, smell or just bad vibes and there 's nothing the keepers could do to prevent severe damage from occurring.
That's why they often give them tranquilizers. This year or last year, the goverment shut down a famous tiger temple in Thailand. Even there the tigers were maltreated. Places like this should not exist and should not get supported by visiting them !!!
Tips on interacting with tigers etc. for photographs: 1. Always approach from behind, avoid detection until the point of contact. 2. Once you are close enough, smack them hard on their bottoms to mimic the strength of their comrades so they see you as one of them. 3. Try to jump scare the tigers upon entering their enclosures, they LOVE surprises. 4. Always poke their nostrils and bumholes whenever either end is presented to you, these are their pleasure points. 5. Any and all warnings displayed are mostly just friendly suggestions. If you follow all of these rules, there will be less stupid people in the world. And everyone can be happy, tigers included.
I feel sad that this tiger has been made a slave for human entertainment and money. These kind of abuses should be made illegal. Animals have the same capacity to feel as humans do. Shame on those who treat Gods creatures inhumanely.
this makes me sick to my stomach!!! this is animal cruelty! you can clearly see that the tiger is drugged! and baby tigers have to sleep at least most of time during the day to conserve energy due to the fact that they are still growing! this makes me so angry!
@@Ashton__ yeah he literally got straight up to play, people dont realise how chill these beasts can be, i know its only because they were raised in captivity, but the same goes for any wild animals really
Bomboclaat don’t get me wrong, they can turn on you in any moment. But from my experience it takes a lot to piss off a tiger. But if you do you’re dead lol
Beautiful tigers, but they look drugged and taunted constantly. Poor tigers 🐯 Let the tigers be free. This makes me sad to see the way we use a beautiful animal to make money 💰 and don't care for the animals well fare. Just as long as you earn your money! What a sad world we live in folks 😒
this is very cruel! !! this animals are made drugged. poor creatures is this how they should be treated. I hope the authorities take action against this place and people
very good film, thank you ... However, all of our wild cats should be allowed to live free from the shackles ... Freedom belongs to all natural animals, only human greed will make the animals prisoners Vastaa
Do not you see that the tiger is angry and has no interest in relating to you? That desire to annoy the animals, it is not enough to have them locked up and therefore mistreated, besides you annoy him to take a stupid video that does not impress anyone.
You are entitled to your view of this place of course. As for the video, like all my travel videos, it´s made to inform potential visitors about what they can expect if they go here.
Worse, it is almost publicizing places where animals are mistreated, why do not you go to the jungle and live with the tigers naturally? So people can see what they can expect if they go there.
Mónica G. de Zubiría u wrong tbh trust me a tiger ain't putting up with shit if he was annoyed he woulda went nuts in there its more of he just doesn't mind being touched that's hard for ppl to take in because its a tiger but its the truth he just honestly doesn't mind being touched
W. savage - Sorry but I'm not impressed with your expertise on tiger behaviour. Captive tigers are trained to behave "safely" next to human visitors - this is often quite brutal training - the tiger s do not derive pleasure out of being in captivity nor can you anthropomorphise fake feelings or opinions upon them.
Wolf Savage do you really believe in what you say? I insist: If you think that the tigers do not mind being touched why do not you go to Africa to a wild place and not "adapted" to touch the tigers and the lions to see if they do not mind being touched? Is it not that there they do not react naturally because they know in inferiority of conditions? On the other hand, you do not deceive anyone, it is clear that the tiger is not happy, whatever you say, what we all see is that the tiger is uncomfortable not to say annoying.
Tigers are beautiful, I love tigers. Siberian tigers are my favourite. Unfortunately bastard poachers are wiping these magnificent animals out and it will be a sad day when we only c them in captivity.😘
....and do you love the idea of these animals being bred and held in captivity just so people can stand next to them? What does this actually prove or say about the people who engage in this kind of activity - can they not see further than the bars of the cage"? They are in my opinion in a mental cage of their own.
To those criticizing I say this. If you want to send your money to protect these animals then do so BUT I bet not 1 in 100 whining here actually donate to wild animal charities, but they are the first to complain of exploiting animals every time there is a video like this. Here is the reality you need - These places allow animals that would otherwise either be killed, or end up in private collections to be seen and act as animal ambassadors to promote them to future generations.. Its as simple as that, so if you want to pay for the upkeep of these animals then do so, if not then shut up about animal parks and zoos which exist only because people DO want to go and see these magnificent animals, and if they do not see them here, then where would they?
So people who do not donate to animal charities have no right to comment here on the mistreating of animals? Is that what your saying? Your a moron mate. This video i found repulsive and cruel and i am saying so here yet i do not visit zoo's or any kind of animal enclosures. Do i have the right to comment???
As you say yes they are beautiful and majestic. But it's wrong to treat them like domestic cats. They are wild animals and should be treated as such, with respect. Zoos like this are on a par with how circuses used to be. If they were being bred to be released back into the wild then that is acceptable. However, what they are doing here is very wrong, on so many counts. If you know anything about cats generally you can see by the positioning of their ears and their twitching tails that they aren't liking being messed with. I don't know how they are keeping them so docile, perhaps they are drugged, to an extent that makes them sluggish.
From my research, they are not drugged and to me it looked like they are well kept. Anyway, I am no expert so this video is just a review of a very popular tourist destination in Chiang Mai. Nothing more, nothing less.
"If they were being bred to be released back into the wild then that is acceptable." - one thing you can be 100% sure of in Thailand is that NO tigers bred in captivity will EVER be released into the wild.
There is no wild to release them to. Unfortunately we have to accept that tigers will only survive in captivity. Maybe some day people will evolve to provide tigers with a habitat sufficient their needs.
You post suggests that you approve of the situation reported in the video - I think it is disgraceful and a comment like "tiger are beautiful" does nothing to dispel my feeling of disgust when watching this ill-informed **** "getting close" with animals at their expense. THHe truth is that however good captive tigers may look on the outside there is a very good chance they are in fact pretty unhealthy both physically and mentally. They are unable to exercise properly as they would in the wild and their diet may not be up to scratch either. As for their psychological state, you need to forget about anthropomorphic judgements and realise that the unnatural conditions these animals are held in leads to all sorts of behavioural signs that indicate they are stressed - so not so beautiful at all.
In all honesty, you need a better way to bring awareness to these types of issues, if that's your aim. I am not going to discuss this 'Tiger' topic in depth, because you'll probably have a better view on the situation than me and I just don't want to (I don't do research on it because frankly it's out of my power to make a difference to them, at the moment and I don't have time for it - selfish human act, judge away) I said and quote, "Tigers are beautiful!" Becareful how freely you assume what the thoughts of people are. Remember where you are, the internet. I am no way obligated to fully disclose how I feel about the situation. You literally just bashed someone who agrees with your thoughts. So please, calm down, realise what my comment stands for and . Have a good day.
The way some of these tigers are behaving, they've either been continually disciplined to the point of abuse, where their spirits are broken to the absolute will of the keepers where they're too afraid to demonstrate any independent thought or behaviour. Or they're tranquilized, or both. I think the abuse must be at least in effect for them to be behaving like that. They have been trained to do exactly what the keepers want them to do, and they don't seem to miss a beat in that. They're like automated robots.

Yes the most common response of stupid people. So we can invest in zoo facilities etc but not for the preservation of big cats? I think most of us rather die on their feet than live on their knees. Just like us I'm pretty sure they rather be free and live knowing there are hunters, than live a lifelong in a cage like a pet. Plus governments can clearly invest in wildlife preservation. It's just not on their agenda. Idiot.
THESE tigers will die because they are all born in captivity. They can never be set free. Why don't you address the governments then instead of name calling ordinary You Tubers like most of the ignorant commenters on here. Until someone are willing to invest in paradises for these tigers without any income in return these places are the option to keep the species alive in the long run. Whether you like it on not.
Before making a stupid comment, your domestic cats we all have at home have been taken from their mothers as babies, never allowed to seer them again, they are put into houses and confined to these houses and not allowed to roam free anymore. So before making a stupid comment, please put things into perspective first. I don't agree with whole taking photos and setting the cat up for the perfect photo, i would much rather respect the big cat by giving it a tummy rub and being relaxed and calm around it so I can get the best experience with the tiger and so that the tiger knows I respect it for who he/she is. People who are saying these tigers are drugged are simply delusional, none of these tiger there were drugged, please stop making stuff up or find some bloody evidence first. If you are saying "They should be running free and not in cages" then do some reading into the matter as to why they are not. They are more protected in these enclosures than in the wild sadly.

Yes 😭
Look at the charisma of this animal.. What an amazing colour combination of the blanket of this animal... Insanely captivating...
Sure was!
"This big Mac gives great back rubs"
this is very cruel! !! this animals are made drugged. poor creatures is this how they should be treated. I hope the authorities take action against this place and people
Samsung J3 fuck you
very good film, thank you ... However, all of our wild cats should be allowed to live free from the shackles ...
Freedom belongs to all natural animals, only human greed will make the animals prisoners
Vastaa
The package is like serving a human as dinner for the tiger 🍴🤯
Do not you see that the tiger is angry and has no interest in relating to you? That desire to annoy the animals, it is not enough to have them locked up and therefore mistreated, besides you annoy him to take a stupid video that does not impress anyone.
You are entitled to your view of this place of course. As for the video, like all my travel videos, it´s made to inform potential visitors about what they can expect if they go here.
Worse, it is almost publicizing places where animals are mistreated, why do not you go to the jungle and live with the tigers naturally? So people can see what they can expect if they go there.
Mónica G. de Zubiría u wrong tbh trust me a tiger ain't putting up with shit if he was annoyed he woulda went nuts in there its more of he just doesn't mind being touched that's hard for ppl to take in because its a tiger but its the truth he just honestly doesn't mind being touched
W. savage - Sorry but I'm not impressed with your expertise on tiger behaviour. Captive tigers are trained to behave "safely" next to human visitors - this is often quite brutal training - the tiger s do not derive pleasure out of being in captivity nor can you anthropomorphise fake feelings or opinions upon them.
Wolf Savage do you really believe in what you say? I insist: If you think that the tigers do not mind being touched why do not you go to Africa to a wild place and not "adapted" to touch the tigers and the lions to see if they do not mind being touched? Is it not that there they do not react naturally because they know in inferiority of conditions? On the other hand, you do not deceive anyone, it is clear that the tiger is not happy, whatever you say, what we all see is that the tiger is uncomfortable not to say annoying.
So, they are raised around humans, don't mean shit. They are still wild animals and by the looks of their enclosures, not kept up the best.
For The Love Of Money Is The Root Of All Evil. It’s Sad😔
Just one mood swing of the tiger.... And...
Tigers are beautiful, I love tigers. Siberian tigers are my favourite. Unfortunately bastard poachers are wiping these magnificent animals out and it will be a sad day when we only c them in captivity.😘
Drugged or not, WHY would you risk life to pet a tiger FFS. You have eyes to enjoy
Because some people are idiots.
What tiger is this? The Bengal Tiger?
Wow! What a magnificent animal! Big! How much do the big cats weigh?
what an amazingly powerful and muscolar beast that is, love it.
....and do you love the idea of these animals being bred and held in captivity just so people can stand next to them? What does this actually prove or say about the people who engage in this kind of activity - can they not see further than the bars of the cage"? They are in my opinion in a mental cage of their own.
look at these Tigers reaction time... i'm BOILING right now
Hello, how long are you inside in the cage with the tigers?
I would say around 10 minutes.
Are they indochinese tigers?
Face to Face with heavily sedated tigers.Fuck this shit.
😞😞💔
poor tigers, i think they drugged these tigers. these people just want to make $$$$$
stupid , they drugg em for a reason
they dont. www.paintmeparadise.com/2016/03/06/tiger-kingdom/ you are all confusing tiger kingdom with tiger temple which has done these atrocities.
Would you eat the sausage after visiting the factory it came from?
Why do they cut the mane?
When the tiger eats one of those trainers, he’s hungry again within 20 minutes.
No, lol. But I get u
Having watched over 500 youtube videos on these big cats qualifies me to say this tiger is not himself...
Did they cut its claws and trim its teeth? Camera flash on cubs hurt their eye.
I don't think so, but not sure.
3:35 - Tiger : "Im surrounded by idiots" !
The big one is beautiful! Perfect stripes and the tail looks so cool
The first big one I mean.
This is sad 😭
So so sad and sick minded humans to do this to tigers and other wild animals.
Are they declawed do they still have teeth are they drugged?
Did you sign any legal paperwork for taking responsibility if anything went wrong?
Hi, as far as I remember I had to sign a paper that frees them from any responsibility if I should get hurt by the Tigers.
To those criticizing I say this.
If you want to send your money to protect these animals then do so BUT I bet not 1 in 100 whining here actually donate to wild animal charities, but they are the first to complain of exploiting animals every time there is a video like this. Here is the reality you need - These places allow animals that would otherwise either be killed, or end up in private collections to be seen and act as animal ambassadors to promote them to future generations.. Its as simple as that, so if you want to pay for the upkeep of these animals then do so, if not then shut up about animal parks and zoos which exist only because people DO want to go and see these magnificent animals, and if they do not see them here, then where would they?
Ultimagtr650 shurup you fucking moron!!
Ultimagtr650 agree in the wild and get bit
Ultimagtr650 naturalhabitat
So people who do not donate to animal charities have no right to comment here on the mistreating of animals?
Is that what your saying?
Your a moron mate. This video i found repulsive and cruel and i am saying so here yet i do not visit zoo's or any kind of animal enclosures. Do i have the right to comment???
Nonsense. This is exploitation. Are they paying you?
Once tiger get aggressive they'll know
Tiger: I AM SO FUKIN HIGH RIGHT NOW
Are the tigers opiated?
Playing with the nature will someday going to be very brutal..
Sometimes human hobbies lead to his own destruction...
Covid
These Tigers look like they have been abused
Jay u mean sexually abused?
They're definitely been drugged to keep them sedated so that they wouldn't tear the people that annoy them apart!
I agreeee! Never go to a place like this😎😢
Do you pay before getting mauled. Or after
I didn’t even read the comments first but I could tell something was off about that tiger sitting so calmly. He looked high on something.
As you say yes they are beautiful and majestic. But it's wrong to treat them like domestic cats. They are wild animals and should be treated as such, with respect. Zoos like this are on a par with how circuses used to be. If they were being bred to be released back into the wild then that is acceptable. However, what they are doing here is very wrong, on so many counts. If you know anything about cats generally you can see by the positioning of their ears and their twitching tails that they aren't liking being messed with. I don't know how they are keeping them so docile, perhaps they are drugged, to an extent that makes them sluggish.
From my research, they are not drugged and to me it looked like they are well kept. Anyway, I am no expert so this video is just a review of a very popular tourist destination in Chiang Mai. Nothing more, nothing less.
"If they were being bred to be released back into the wild then that is acceptable." - one thing you can be 100% sure of in Thailand is that NO tigers bred in captivity will EVER be released into the wild.
There is no wild to release them to. Unfortunately we have to accept that tigers will only survive in captivity. Maybe some day people will evolve to provide tigers with a habitat sufficient their needs.
Quite amazing and fantastic....to be so close to the giant tiger👍
Tiger turns around and says “I’m a lady boy tiger” 😂Jk
Tigers are beautiful!
especially chained and in cages?
No. Read my 3 word sentence again.
You post suggests that you approve of the situation reported in the video - I think it is disgraceful and a comment like "tiger are beautiful" does nothing to dispel my feeling of disgust when watching this ill-informed **** "getting close" with animals at their expense.
THHe truth is that however good captive tigers may look on the outside there is a very good chance they are in fact pretty unhealthy both physically and mentally.
They are unable to exercise properly as they would in the wild and their diet may not be up to scratch either.
As for their psychological state, you need to forget about anthropomorphic judgements and realise that the unnatural conditions these animals are held in leads to all sorts of behavioural signs that indicate they are stressed - so not so beautiful at all.
In all honesty, you need a better way to bring awareness to these types of issues, if that's your aim.
I am not going to discuss this 'Tiger' topic in depth, because you'll probably have a better view on the situation than me and I just don't want to (I don't do research on it because frankly it's out of my power to make a difference to them, at the moment and I don't have time for it - selfish human act, judge away)
I said and quote, "Tigers are beautiful!"
Becareful how freely you assume what the thoughts of people are. Remember where you are, the internet.
I am no way obligated to fully disclose how I feel about the situation.
You literally just bashed someone who agrees with your thoughts.
So please, calm down, realise what my comment stands for and
.
Have a good day.
Your reply is as beautiful as these creatures. It's nice to see someone, for once, delivering a considered and composed answer/arguement on TH-cam
The way some of these tigers are behaving, they've either been continually disciplined to the point of abuse, where their spirits are broken to the absolute will of the keepers where they're too afraid to demonstrate any independent thought or behaviour. Or they're tranquilized, or both. I think the abuse must be at least in effect for them to be behaving like that. They have been trained to do exactly what the keepers want them to do, and they don't seem to miss a beat in that. They're like automated robots.
They are drugged it's no secret.
What does their fur feel like?
Kind of hard with short hairs. Probably softer around the head, but we were not allowed to touch anything close to the neck and head.
that would be an awesome experience, but 0:28 looked a bit odd, the tiger's reaction time.

Big Cat Ban Save the CubsDid you know that big cats and cubs are exploited and even abused at tourist attractions here in the U.S. and in dozens of countries around the world?
What can you do to make sure you don’t unwittingly participate in tourist activities that exploit big cats and other wild animals?
Easy ways YOU and your family can be responsible tourists:
• Never pay to touch or have your photo taken with a tiger or lion cub
• Don’t attend circuses, fairs, or attractions that feature wild animal shows
• Don’t purchase items made from wild animals, such as furs and rugs
• Don’t partake in local “delicacies” made from wild animals, such as tiger bone wine
• Only visit sanctuaries that are accredited by the Global Federation of Animal Sanctuaries (www.sanctuaryfederation.org).

Tiger selfies exposed: Speed-breeding, distressed cubs focus of WAP investigation. “Our current obsession with selfies and selfies with wildlife is most definitely driving this industry,” Ms Beynon said. She said attractions are widely promoted by travel companies and online travel sites for tourists to get up close and personal with a captive tiger for a “once in a life-time” encounter. www.abc.net.au/news/2016-07-25/tiger-selfies-exposed-report-by-world-animal-protection/7652936
They all had batons on their belts. Not a good sign.
a baton wont help a person being torn limb from limb
How do they make sure that people are following the rule?
The Keepers follow quite closely how the visitors behave. The girl before me was swiftly moved when she got a bit to close to the tigers head.
Is it Indochinese tiger or bengal? It looks like Indochinese tiger
What are the wooden sticks FOR!???? ICAN imagine how they train them after the gates are closed!???
The day there will be a shortage of drug dosage, then you can have real pics of tiger eating.
"welcom to giant tiger"? lol
Those are the most aggressive Royal Bengal Tigers on the planet. but what happened to them ?
0:27 what he's trying to do?
This makes me sad...you can tell they are drugged. :(
this is insane. they r drug addict
Although I wish they were free, I’d be lying if I did not say I did not Envy your amazing experience/encounter with these beautiful animals. 👁👁👀🙏🏽🐯🐅
Sad truth is these tigers are more popular than me ..lol
Poor tigers!!!!!!! 😔😔😔😔😔
THEY SHOULD BE FREE IN THE WILD
If they set these tigers free they would all die.
Yes the most common response of stupid people. So we can invest in zoo facilities etc but not for the preservation of big cats? I think most of us rather die on their feet than live on their knees. Just like us I'm pretty sure they rather be free and live knowing there are hunters, than live a lifelong in a cage like a pet. Plus governments can clearly invest in wildlife preservation. It's just not on their agenda. Idiot.
THESE tigers will die because they are all born in captivity. They can never be set free. Why don't you address the governments then instead of name calling ordinary You Tubers like most of the ignorant commenters on here. Until someone are willing to invest in paradises for these tigers without any income in return these places are the option to keep the species alive in the long run. Whether you like it on not.
Are they sedated?
Many people like to think so, but there is no evidence that they are.
@@erikssc how is ot safe then?
Because the tigers are born and raised in the park and used to people from they were small.
Before making a stupid comment, your domestic cats we all have at home have been taken from their mothers as babies, never allowed to seer them again, they are put into houses and confined to these houses and not allowed to roam free anymore.
So before making a stupid comment, please put things into perspective first. I don't agree with whole taking photos and setting the cat up for the perfect photo, i would much rather respect the big cat by giving it a tummy rub and being relaxed and calm around it so I can get the best experience with the tiger and so that the tiger knows I respect it for who he/she is.
People who are saying these tigers are drugged are simply delusional, none of these tiger there were drugged, please stop making stuff up or find some bloody evidence first.
If you are saying "They should be running free and not in cages" then do some reading into the matter as to why they are not. They are more protected in these enclosures than in the wild sadly.
