A shocking incident was witnessed in the well-known Tiger Kingdom in Phuket, Thailand, where a tourist from India was attacked by a tiger as he tried to click a selfie. The man allegedly entered the enclosure to click a photo with the tiger when the tiger suddenly attacked him. The incident, which went viral on social media, raised serious concerns regarding the safety of wildlife tourism sites and the risks associated with close contact with wild animals.

The attack of the tiger on the tourist was caught on camera, and it indicates the tourist smiling just seconds before the tiger attacked. The workers came running to save him but after he had been badly injured. He was rushed into a local hospital for treatment, and he is now recovering. The gruesome video has sparked outrage across the country and renewed controversy over the ethics and dangers of such tourist activities using wild animals.

This tiger attack has put the rules in place at animal parks that let people inside enclosures for photographs in doubt. Critics contend that such contact undermines both human safety and animal welfare. Animal rights activists are demanding increased safety protocols and a revamp of activities that involve direct contact with aggressive wildlife for entertainment.

The attack serves to underscore the compelling need for greater awareness of the dangers of wildlife tourism. Thai authorities have vowed to reassess safety procedures at such centers as Tiger Kingdom. In the meantime, experts suggest tourists steer clear of activities involving close contact with wild animals. With the video still going viral online, most are calling on holidaymakers to opt for ethical and responsible tourism that also values human safety as well as animal welfare.
