Pakistani YouTuber Sparks Controversy with Chained Tiger Video

• Pakistani YouTuber’s viral video: Child with pet tiger.
• YouTuber owns lions from controversial zoo auction.
• WWF condemns video, calls for ethical animal care.

A Pakistani YouTuber stunned the internet community by sharing a video of a young child strolling a pet tiger. The youngster is carrying the young adult tiger’s chain as it walks through a fancy home.

The viral video was uploaded on the creator Nouman Hassan’s Instagram account. The video has received thousands of likes in just four days. While some users have applauded the youngster’s bravery, others have taken offense at what the young boy is supposed to be doing.

Mr. Hassan frequently shares videos of the tigers, snakes, and crocodiles in his personal collection. Some social media users asserted that the youngster is Mr. Hassan’s nephew, despite the fact that he hasn’t stated anything about him.

Is that a pet tiger, a user inquired. The video was attacked on Instagram by other users, who deemed it “ridiculous”.

A little video of the youngster strolling another tiger inside a car dealership was previously uploaded by the YouTuber. In addition, Mr. Hassan possesses lions in his personal collection, acquired during an auction held by the Lahore Safari Zoo in August of last year. To make room and cut costs on meat, the zoo put twelve of its lions and tigers up for sale.

When the auction was announced, Mr. Hassan stated that he had purchased “two to three lions” and that it was an excellent method for private collectors who already owned a big cat to diversify their gene pool.

There is insufficient law in Pakistan to protect animal welfare, and zoos are widely known for their subpar facilities. A court ordered the closure of the nation’s sole zoo in April 2020 after revelations of subpar conditions and animal abuse surfaced.

In addition to renting them out for films and photo shoots, Mr. Hassan and the other owners of these large cats share their pictures and videos on social media.

Environmental advocacy group WWF has long opposed such transactions, arguing that the animals should be transferred to other reputable zoos or that breeding females should be sterile or given contraception.
