Mark mark Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 With All Due respect to Animals and their Lovers, ... this Poking is not a big thing, … like Tigers are big animals with thick skins, …like Elephants !!! … And used to banging in to thinks in the jungle for sure, … this Poking is very mild, like just a communication really ??? ...The Real problem is keeping tigers in such Confined Places I am sure !!! … They are Wide Roaming animals. ... Still if it was born in Captivity ??? If it has some sort of Balance in it's Life, … like it does not look to hard pressed, … a bit like our cat, when the 4 year old comes over ???

TKDfella Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 4 hours ago, Dibbler said: Thailand treats its captive wildlife with complete disregard for national laws. The monks at the Tiger Temple who had 149 tigers confiscated from them including many that were like this tiger drugged and forced to perform in front of tourists, were never charged with any offence, and now are preparing to open a new tiger facility under a different business name, possibly with some of the same confiscated tigers, that will be returned to them by the DNP. Members of the public should be posting more to social media as that seems the only way to force the government to take action. It should be Thai and not foreign wildlife activists leading the protests to have these shocking facilities shut down. Yep, agreed...seems like the authorities just pay lip service to animal ill treatment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbswales Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 usual nonsense - blame some one else response. I suppose the Burmese also built the custom display plynth so that the animals could be used as props in visitor photos. I am guessing the photos are not a "free" opportunity for tourists!!

And the tigers should be out in the wild. "And the tigers should be out in the wild." A nice thought but for endangered species it would lead to their likely eventual demise. These types of Zoos should not have them! But there is a place for them in 'captivity' that allows breeding and increasing their numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dibbler Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 I wish you the best. Done a good job !!! But always beware as the Thai have more faces. Especially when they're losing face. Foreigners have been jailed for less !!! There are many faces of wildlife criminals and unethical business practice, most of them in this country are Thai. If exposing such behaviour is deemed "criminal" then it takes a crim to know one. Need to jail a few more wildlife criminals in Thailand, regardless of their hair color, or the color of the clothes they wear.

Saddest thing I've seen in ages, 4 very sad creatures, one clearly very sick. Elephants at Nong Nooch the same, no respect or kindness to animals whatsoever, only the money they bring in. Doesn't matter what it is, croc farms, zoos or monkey's and snakes on Walking Street everywhere there is animals and money. One of the lowest, most indefensible aspects of Thailand. Yes it is sad, but you should have included amongst your creatures above "Tourists", they treat them the same, keep poking them until their money falls out.

Bangkok Barry Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 I thought that jobs such as torturing animals was reserved for Thais. How does a Burmese get a work permit to work in such a job? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeptic7 Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 ALL these prisons should be shut down forever. Sad to watch and the government disregard is reprehensible. Also to blame as well is any person...Thai or foreigner...who goes to such a place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dibbler Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 It is easy do not go to these placesThose who are informed will choose not to go, the problem is the tourists who see these tiger facilities promoted in signs in taxis and travel agents and book tours without knowing what they are supporting with their tourist dollar, ruble, or renminbi.Sent from my iPhone using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dinsdale Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 The least disgraceful thing about this vid is the lad from Myanmar giving the tiger a bit of a poke, who more than likely is told to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

observer90210 Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 (edited) Is it just not lovely [and a bit easy] to blame and finger point the Burmese, the farangs, the Chinese, the Indians or anybody else when something goes wrong? Very unsporting and unfair attitude from the management who apparently lacked oversight on their employees. I just don't want to be around the day the tiger get's fed up and will react with more then roaring....

I have lived in Kanchanaburi long enough to remember the Orangatang Muay Thai show at the Bo Ploy safari park. The apes would be dressed in shorts and boxing gloves and put in a ring to fight for the amusement of the almost completely Asian crowds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Dude Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 What's funny (or sad really), is that they think this blame the Burmese guy for everything actually will fly repeatedly. Any half-decent zoo manager or director would take responsibility and resign as it had happened whilst he was in charge...although, responsibility is a moot point here generally.
