Why some bozos think it would be a good idea to have a photo of themselves with a big cat is completely beyond me.

Is there any country, capitalist or otherwise, in which money isn't "the only thing that matters"?

To sort of quote you, the story is about tiger cruelty only, it's not about any other animal.
