Tiger being abused to earn money in Malaysia

This tiger is placed at the main entrance at safari world. when customer come in will ask them to take the picture then to wash out for rm15 to buy back the picture. Pls see, the tiger is very tired already but the worker is force it's to take picturer. You can notice wyhen the worker let go his hand then the tiger is going to lay and the worker is pinch it's nose and pull it's whiskers.

Seriously, this is the worst that can happen when Malaysia trying to promote tourism. And will only draw attention of worldwide animal-rights organisations.

"There was no abuse to the tiger, the tiger was just drowsy and lazy after being fed and so was being prodded by the handler to get into position," Afamosa resort general manager Allan Chee told AFP.

This kind of statement, he better be right about the facts. Or else, I'm sure this statement will cost him his position in the coming weeks... which I think most likely will be. The tiger cannot be "drowsy and lazy" after being fed. Can tell from the video that the tiger has no strength to even move its leg. And wouldn't it pissed-off when the worker pull its whiskers?
