I felt worse for the tiger getting beat then I did for the trainer. Leave the wild in the wild!!

[neo]

Imagine getting beaten for being your true self

[XIStance-xdnh]

The title is wrong. It should be “trainer attacks tiger”. 🐅

[misterchronicles]

Kids that are watching just witnessed what reality is.

[ProfitPursuit]

It's so weird how none of these animal keepers have protective measures in case of a serious situation like this.

[FeelingsAintFacts]

I don't think Gandhi is the right name for a belligerent tiger

[Johnfind]

So you name the Tiger Gandhi and you think it will turn Non-violent ?!?!

[heirofthenazareen]

It's a shame how they're abusing those animals.

[agathar]

As horrible as this is to see I am comforted knowing more and more states & countries ban owning predators and using them to perform like this. With the way things are going I am confident owning wild cats and other animals that have no reason to be with humans will be a thing of the past here in the US soon, where we currently have thousands of tigers in situations like this

[dawnh]

That poor tiger, the fact that he kept hitting the tiger even tho they are off them. I hope the tiger and the rest of the animals been rescued by now 😢😢

[ZymixProductions]

"Tiger Attacks, Drags Trainer? I don't think they have never seen a Tiger attack. If this was a Tiger attack, she would have been shredded meat in just a few seconds.

[sanita]

Wild animals should be left alone so I don't feel sorry for these guys.

[kartikeyasharma]

Of course felt bad for the tiger, but also the subtle trauma those children watching underwent.

[harmonybeats]

It's so hurt breaking to see... Poor tiger beaten up mercilessly 😢... These are cruel people

[PositivelyPony]

And that's why wildlife should stay _in the wild_

[ICXR]

Them kids will remember that cruelty for the rest of their lives

[saintemile]

When she started saying "David, David!" you can really feel the fear in her voice. That could have turned deadly real fast.

[bluebird]

Those poor animals suffer so much at the hands of humans. I'm never surprised when they vent their frustration out on their abusers. Humans can be so cruel.

[DaveFury]

It’s no wonder the tiger attacked that trainer if that’s the kind of treatment that he’s used to.
