In a recent video that has been making rounds on social media, a man was spotted walking a chained tiger on a bustling road. However, a startling moment occurred when an auto-rickshaw passed by, and the tiger attempted to attack the passengers onboard. Swiftly, the man regained control of the wild, chained animal.
Viral Video Raises Concern
The video was originally shared on Instagram by a user with the handle “@tiptopyatra” and has already garnered nearly 1,901 likes since its posting.
In the video, a man is seen taking the chained tiger for a walk. As vehicles pass by, the tiger repeatedly lunges at them, while the man strives to keep the big cat in check. Although the video did not display any violent incidents, it sent shivers down the spine as it showed a man casually walking a tiger, a sight more common with pet dogs.
Mixed Reactions and Concern
The video also prompted a series of comments from viewers. One user wrote, “no common sense,” expressing their disbelief at the situation.
Yet another user remarked, “These days, people are doing anything for viral attention,” underscoring the growing concerns surrounding the exploitation of wild animals for social media popularity.
