Tourists in Thailand have no idea they shouldn't be doing this

Tigers don't like us. When humans approach, their raw instincts tell them to flee or claw our faces off. This is perhaps a wise reaction since our species has wiped out 97 percent of the world's tiger population in the last century.

But in Thailand's western hills, there's a place where nature's code is inverted and tigers will tolerate wave after wave of unfamiliar humans. Here, foreigners arrive by the busload to briefly enter a fantasy world where tigers resemble benign Disney characters instead of the apex flesh-eating predators they really are.

Something along the same lines could be said about any animal that we have tamed, domesticated or imprisoned.
