Tiger petting is a widely abused thing in Thailand and nearby countries. You can get a tiger you know to behave like any cat, but tigers are actually among the most dangerous animals, and the only way to pet a tiger safely is to drug it (notice that even house cats can be unpredictable, but it rarely matters because of their small size). So this activity is either unsafe or the tiger is drugged.
I'm not sure how to feel about this one. Maybe a little sad to see such a creature symbolising such raw wild power, so easily put in line with a small stick. Oh well..
What flinching, you're seeing things, probably because of the negative info out there stating what can be and sometimes is done to keep the tigers in check, wasn't electric bark collars a thing till recently, I'm sure whatever was done to her wasn't too bad, she seemed to enjoy the belly rubs, and even though he moved the stick in front of her face she MOVED HER FACE TOWARDS HIS POCKET, I'm sure an abused animal does not do that especially after being "scared" by a stick which she was apparently "abused with", given we are the dominant species ... the other animals better learn to work with us.... or go extinct
@@srimanta548 So what you are saying is that because she likes getting positive feedback from the tourist belly rubs and because she smells food on the keeper that it's all OK? Wow, you must be a real treat to know personally.....
@Kenny Hill bro you have made me lose brain cells with these last few replies. 1. She never flinched. 2. THOSE STICKS ARE USED TO KEEP IT IN CHECK SO THEM TOURISTS DONT GET MURDERED AND MAULED BY THE TIGER. 3. IF IT WAS SO “SCARED” OF THE STICK DO YOU NOT THINK THAT THE TIGER WOULD HAVE RAN SOMEWHERE ELSE TO AVOID THE STICK? IF THE ONLY THING YOU KNOW ABOUT CAPTIVE ANIMALS IS THAT THEY ALL GET “ABUSED” BY THE TRAINERS YOU NEED TO DO MORE RESEARCH, BRO.
I would love to get a picture with the tiger. They are beautiful cats. That lady is giving the tiger a belly rub so professional. This is so nice. In the United States they don’t allow you to get close to the big cats. What can I say I don’t like that rule we have but I want to go where you are. It is good therapy for people. Thankyou. I love how nice you treat your tigers. God bless you.🐯🐯🐯🦋🦋🦋💜💜💜❤️❤️❤️💛💛
He's not waving the stick in his face he's tapping the tiger on the head with it. It's how they train them to stay in line. They beat them with the sticks from a very young age so they learn to become afraid of anyone who has one. So the keepers tap them in the face so they will stay in check. It's basically a warning to behave or they will be beaten.
But what if they revert to their primal nature? See, it's stuff like this in which I think people are brave, but completely ignorant about how dangerous this could get. I mean, I LOVE tigers! But I know just being around one will scare the shit out of me (See, they're almost as big as bears, but with the capabilities of being agile and flexible, pouncing their prey). It would be a dream for me to pet a tiger, but I know that's only a pipe dream, as they always have a hidden instinct of going feral and slicing things.
jayjay86443 It can happen. There's plenty of videos of trainers getting mauled by their tigers, most famous being Siegfried and Roy. And I agree I would probably be shitting bricks if I ever got the chance to get anywhere near a tiger to pet him just because I know he can crush my skull with a single bite or break my ribcage with a single swipe of its paw.
The stick is used for training and telling the animal who's the boss, but it actually doesn't hurt. Tiger moms do the same with their cubs when those are playing agressively, hitting softly on their nose. The way the tiger lays down means it is being submissive
My niece absolutely loves tigers. 🐯💕 Even says she wants one for her birthday or as a graduation present. She's a child, only one can dream. Besides, what she gonna do with a 400lb cat? 😂
A tiger has a strength of 25 to 30 men - he is a killing machine with big sharp teeth - powerful bite force - 3 inch 16 claws. Can these people with small sticks stop him????? Think again.......
The memory of being beaten with bigger sticks as a cub is what leashes her. All told it's pretty fucked up, perhaps even more so than SeaWorld's practices.
spoiler: no its not. because the humans,....and the tigers,... know pretty well: "when i attack this hooman, tiny dude,... his stick wont safe him!" :D
No, they legitimately train it so you don’t get frickin devoured -_- once that instinct kicks in you ain’t gonna be able to run, pal. You Breakfast, Lunch, And dinner if you have it there and don’t tame the damn animal
Let's be real here. You are not going to achieve this level of friendliness towards humans without either drugs or very VERY strict training. We all know how dangerous even some dogs can be, both for humans and other dogs, if not given the right treatment and training. Now imagine the training and attention required to make an animal that is solitary by nature and genetically still a wild animal behave like this. Best case scenario is that the stick will be used to discipline the tigers when they misbehave, but it WILL be used. You can't seriously believe that love and attention are the only things required to reliably achieve this behavior.
If that damn large azz 🐯 decided 2 kill them both they couldn't stop it , respect wild animals n even captive born bcuz their killer instinct can come out without WARNING!!💯
Cat is thinking retirement is great. Time for the humans to take care of me! 😊 That's is our duty to do! We owe them that! Animals were on Earth a lot longer than humans!
It's a beautiful tiger but why did you bleach some of the natural orange out of its fur & dye on some black stripes? wasn't it fine in it's natural all orange state?
My aunt used to gave a cat that was half wild and it scared the hell out of me with how Vicious it was. One time, it sat and fell asleep on my lap and I was paralysed with fear
I dont understand why people mistaking this tiger for a pet like dog... Can't they gauze his Strength, his Size, how can they roam free around "Killer Machine" Where are your brain guys... One straight hit of his paw will land u in hospital... Massage a dog... Or a cat.. Not Big Cat...
@@oloflarsenn8409 whats your source that they druged it. Cause you have no clue at all. Every animal lives for affection. Even us so you can stop with the animal abuse bs.
@@mattlemley8994 Oh so you're saying that most zoo's don't abuse animals? then you're a fucking idiot lmao, and there is a lot of sources out there with a simple google search if you'd actually be interested in seeing sources which you probably aren't and are just gonna go with your own bullshit
If they have scars on their body’s or if they are running and growling at the trainer, they aren’t. But it seems more affectionate towards them, not scared or angry
I'll tell you exactly how I feel... This is an adult petting zoo...not good. It's wrong this incredible animal shouldn't have to be intimidated by a stick or any kind of force if you are going to have animals like that you need to earn their trust not the other way around by the way around these people are fools I hope they get shut down and the animals get somewhere where people actually care about them sickening to watch crap like this. You know what happens to people like this they get attacked and then all of a sudden it's decided it's the tiger's fault and it's not
Reaver He can't be sad that he's in captivity if he doesn't know what is beyond captivity, which he probably doesn't. Plus, this is an endangered animal, humans need to help preserve these beautiful animals so they aren't gone forever. If they were out in the wild they'd be hunted to death.
imo murdering animals all together should be illegal but captivity is not okay either i would rather all these animals go extinct than them living in captivity
@@reaver8338 if they go exciting than all herbivores they eat multiply, the more they multiply the more crops they eat, the more crops they eat, the less food we have, the less food we have, the more our species goes extinct. It’s a never ending chain of either pain or health. The reason why they are in captivity is because of that very reason. Plus if it is in captivity it’s one of 4 things, either it struggling badly in the wild, it’s mother was offed by poachers or farmers, the mother was taken in at young age as well and gave birth there or it was hauled in and taken hostage. Not always just yoinking them out of their natural habitat for appeal and green paper
I can almost hear her telling her captor “Hey, stop that! Get that stick the hell away from me!” (Well, if I were a tiger in that kind of environment, that’s what I’D say!)
Tigers should not be pimped out for tourist enjoyment!!! This is abuse and exploitation. VERY LAME. This is the most magnificent of all animals. SHAME on these people.
+Sheryl Schroeder Shameful for preserving animals that are endangered? What's wrong with people coming by to see a magnificent animal huh? He is the owner of these animals, thus he is the authority that they obey. It does not fall under the category of abuse, as the Tigers are clearly fine.
These “save the animals and let them free, they can live even if they are born in fucking captivity” comments are killing me. Y’all don’t even know if they where captured, they could have been born in the wild and cared for in captivity while the mother’s spirit is roaming the skies with God. Stop commenting shit when you don’t know if they are literally being abused or are LITERALLY FINE BEING WITH PEOPLE AMD SHOW 0 FEAR
These people actually don't respect how great this animal is, Not a household cat, you cant imagine how the are controlling them , making them scared, beating them with the sticks on sensitive part and asking them to do what they want and the people are having fun. How Nonsense they are, just for the business....
OR THEY COULD BE ORPHAN CATS RAISED AND CARED FOR IN CAPTIVITY. THE TIGERS LOOK MOTE HEALTHY AND MOTE AFFECTIONATE THAN SCARED AND FORCED TO PUT AN ACT ON, IF THAT WAS THE CASE DO YOU NOT THINK THE TIGER WOULD HAVE GOTTEN ITS REVENGE BY NOW. TIGERS DONT FORGET NOR FORGIVE, THE TRAINERS WOULD HAVE BEEN DEAD A LONG TIME AGO IF THEY WHERE JUST BEATING IT LIKE A DOLL
Cats are predator and prey at the same time thats why they are scared of showing their weak points, tiger is a top predator with no counter in the wild im guessing they just dont give a shit
Camitooth Aj how? They're endangered, so there's no harm in keeping them in captivity, but there is that disease where they can't digest food because of some reason, but keeping them in captivity is increasing the numbers
The Tiger likes the lady rubbing his back, but he's secretly planning to eat the annoying little guy with the stick.

Yeah but you know how overly cautious America became after 9/11 happens.
Thai massage is so good even the tigers are getting the works 😂
Like petting the tiger is all well and good but imagine the abuse the poor thing had to go through to achieve that non aggression
OR it was raised and trained to be like that because poachers killed the parents
Not all animals are super aggressive yk
What a magnificent and beautiful animal

that sound the tiger makes at 00:47. is that the same thing as a housecat would be meowing?

Actually, Tigers make a chuffing noise when happy. If my memory is correct, then cougars are the only big cats that purr.
+go4metalify These tigers are not chuffing. Not happy. Being exploited.
go4metalify It sounds like a purr but, tigers, lions, cheetahs, ect. cant purr... House cats are the only ones that can purr

So would you rather have a wild tiger that ready to eat if you encounter one or a trained tiger who relax and trained js
