- 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.

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.

[@kevinbarker359]

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.

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.

[@khunkiimao]

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.

[@monz1199]

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.

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?

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.

[@TheSvaneMan]

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.

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

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.

[@robertberger8981]

How do they make sure that people are following the rule?

[@erikssc]

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.

[@anna-brittaandersson2836]

I agreeee! Never go to a place like this😎😢

[@luciaargentieri3634]

Poor tigers!!!!!!! 😔😔😔😔😔

[@mikes.wavelength]

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.

[@erikssc]

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.

[@nsecchi1]

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.

[@FLG232]

They are so beautiful

0:27 what he's trying to do?

[@martblart285]

They all had batons on their belts. Not a good sign.

[@simondiesel9409]

a baton wont help a person being torn limb from limb

[@Jay-vw6hn]

These Tigers look like they have been abused

[@jorikkadan]

Jay u mean sexually abused?

[@grandwonder5858]

They're definitely been drugged to keep them sedated so that they wouldn't tear the people that annoy them apart!

[@311hitwall]

What does their fur feel like?

[@erikssc]

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.

[@adilkhan2516]

Which country is this?

[@erikssc]

Thailand

[@EvolutionMachinetoMan]

The day there will be a shortage of drug dosage, then you can have real pics of tiger eating.

[@alantaylor6691]

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.

[@nsx001]

They are drugged it's no secret.

[@EnergiA854]

Are they sedated?

[@erikssc]

Many people like to think so, but there is no evidence that they are.

[@EnergiA854]

@@erikssc how is ot safe then?

[@erikssc]

Because the tigers are born and raised in the park and used to people from they were small.

[@yonatanrozwaski6637]

Beautiful Tigers!
