The video has ignited outrage on social media, reigniting concerns about animal welfare and the ethical treatment of wildlife.
In Pakistan, keeping exotic animals, including tigers, as pets is a growing trend, particularly among the wealthy. However, this practice raises serious concerns about animal welfare, public safety, and conservation. Despite Pakistan's Wildlife Protection Laws prohibiting private ownership of exotic animals, enforcement remains lax, allowing the illicit trade to thrive. Recently, a video went viral featuring a man riding a chained tiger in Pakistan. The video, shared by digital creator Nouman Hassan, rapidly gained over 100,000 views, prompting a deluge of comments.
The footage shared on Instagram shows him nonchalantly sitting on the back of the massive tiger, guiding it through an open area. The background also showcases two cages, one confining a lion and the other a lioness, raising additional concerns about the animals' living conditions.
