Controversial zoo in Thailand draws condemnation as trainer filmed forcing tiger to do tricks

  • 5 years ago
Footage captured at a zoo in Pattaya City, Thailand, shows a zookeeper forcing a tiger to sit on a chair so tourists could take pictures of it.

Filmed in August 2019, the video shows the zookeeper grabbing the tiger's tail and neck, forcing the animal to sit upon a stool.

A report investigating zoos in Thailand found that the number of tigers in captivity has tripled in recent years to around 2,000.
