A tiger attacked a tourist in Thailand

In Thailand, a tiger attacked a tourist from India who wanted to take a photo with it.

As reported by BAKU.WS with reference to Lenta.ru, in a video filmed at the Tiger Kingdom zoo and tiger nursery in Phuket, an adult tiger suddenly attacks a man when he sits down next to it to take a selfie. A trainer is nearby the whole time. He tried to control the animal with a stick, but this did not help prevent the attack. According to media reports, the Indian man escaped with minor injuries.

The video quickly gained 1.4 million views on social media, sparking heated discussions about animal cruelty. Many users suggested that the attack was caused by the tourist's improper behavior: he was petting the tiger in sensitive areas, including the lower back near the tail. This, in their opinion, provoked the predator.
