Indian Man Attacked By Tiger While Taking Photograph In Chilling Video From Phuket

A chilling video has surfaced from Thailand's Phuket. An Indian tourist was attacked by a tiger, when he was trying to take a photograph with the wild animal at the popular Tiger Kingdom. The man suffered minor injuries. A video of the incident has surfaced on social media.

In the 25-second-long clip, the unidentified man can be seen walking alongside a tiger. He then tries to take a photograph with the tiger. In the same frame, a trainer can be seen using a stick to direct the tiger to sit down. The tiger, instead of sitting, turned aggressive and lunged at the man. The terrified tourist can be heard screaming in the video.

This is heartbreaking — not just for the man attacked, but for the tiger too.

Tigers are not selfie props.
Keeping apex predators in cages, sedating them, and turning them into “tourist entertainment” is inhumane, unsafe, and unethical.
