Grim reality behind tiger selfie tourism: speed breeding, cruelty



Around 830 tigers are estimated to occur in captivity in Thailands tiger entertainment venues, the WAP team found, up from 623 tigers in 2010.

 Tourists are encouraged to get close to tigers at tiger entertainment venues and take selfies with tiger cubs separated from their mothers just two to three weeks after birth, the report claims.

 These young cubs are mishandled hundreds of times a day, leading to stress and injury.
