Actress Blasted for Animal Abuse
Young actress Malvika Sharma has posted some pics in which she is posed with the tiger. The pics were taken in Tiger Park in Pattaya of Thailand.
The actress hugged the tiger and took photos close to it. "This tiger is trained to be around people since the time he was born. If you are going to Thailand you should definitely visit Tiger Park Pattaya, you can play with the tiger cubs. They are so cute and mischievous," she posted.
Initially, many people praised her but later animal activists started blasting her for animal abuse. "Actually tigers are not trained, but they are actually drugged to keep low and pose for photos. What you have done is animal abuse and it is unethical,” an animal activist wrote.
They're not 'trained" they're DRUGGED. Please don't promote unethical tourism.

"This tiger is not a toy. If you want to cuddle with one, go and buy a soft toy tiger. There's nothing cute about being so ignorant and passively cruel" another person tweeted.
This tiger is not a toy. If you want to cuddle with one, go to Hamley’s and buy a soft toy tiger. There’s nothing cute about being so ignorant and passively cruel.
