Australian tourist injured in tiger attack
An Australian tourist was attacked by a tiger in Phuket on Tuesday and suffered leg and abdominal injuries. The victim Paul Goudie was visiting Tiger Kingdom in Phuket with his wife.
At the tourist attraction Tiger Kingdom you can pet a tiger for a fee and have your photo taken with the animal. At one point things went wrong and the tiger bit. Quick intervention by the staff prevented the situation from getting worse.
The Aussie holds no grudge against the tiger and advocates that the tiger not be killed. According to the man, the tiger attacked him because he had previously taken a ride on an elephant: “I think the tiger became aggressive because it smelled the smell of an elephant.
Below is an interview with the victim.

Nice material for the student who asked about tourist activities with animals one day 🙂 Ridiculous that people think it's normal to take a picture with a tiger.
well,
Wild animals should not be used for entertainment either. Elephant rides where the proceeds go to the rehabilitation of the elephants is a good goal, but tigers and crosses that have to do crazy tricks should be banned. Just like the fantasea show here on Phuket. Better to see them in the wild on Borneo or in the Taman Negera park.
Tigers don't belong there. Go see the tigers in nature!

An animal remains an animal. My house cats sometimes give me a 'pet' that leaves a scratch behind. A predator is not to be petted and a large predator does not see a nice Aussi but a bite-sized chunk. But they don't want to learn. Well, feel it then.
Excellent story. But cats, dogs, parrots, parakeets, fish, etc. etc. also belong outside and not locked up on the 3rd floor in the back of some flat. But we think that's very normal. And why then do tigers and elephants have different rules and an adapted way of thinking in this regard?
Tigers naturally belong in the wild. Fortunately, there are also good shelters and zoos where they can go. But on the picture with those animals, terrible.
Tigers used to pose with tourists are almost always (or always…) kept calm with drugs. I'm in it too....in a photo from 1986. But I shouldn't have. But then I didn't know (yet) that those animals were half sprayed.
Spraying felines is very risky, so you probably just think that.
It's not a matter of thinking! Drugging is the right term and it can be done in many ways.
Never known?
In my opinion, all animals belong back in nature. The same goes for those in zoos. But let's be happy now that zoos exist. As a result, due to excellent breeding programs we can now see neither animals that would otherwise have died out long ago (Panda bears). This also applies to (Sumatra) tigers and (African) elephants, for example, who have a good life in various Thai temples.
Taking a picture with such an animal is something completely different. Everyone can decide for themselves how far they go.
I also took a picture with a tiger (Million Year Stone Park). I didn't see any harm in it at the time, although I didn't think the situation was really safe.
Was there an Indian with a long pencil or something to “control” that beast…Okay then!
Anyone who has never been to a circus performance in the Netherlands can raise their hand or is that different? I used to work at Toni Boltini for a few months and there I saw how lions and tigers were trained, but NLers liked to go to the circus and clap their hands when those animals had done a successful trick. So when I read those hypocritical reactions about tigers and elephants here in Thailand, I would say first do something about the abuses at circuses and zoos in our own country.
Just stay away no picture or anything.
Now the ban on taking snakes and monkeys or elephants for photos, etc. is fortunately prohibited in Pattaya, although you can still see something every now and then.
years ago it was normal to be bothered ;take picture mr? One look from me was always enough for these animal abusers to quickly continue their practices elsewhere.
By the way, I'm too tasty for tigers too 😉
Do you want a nice traditional Thai photo? this weekend minnimiss election take a picture with beautifully dressed Thai girls; they like to do this and with great pleasure
