Here’s how people react to this video of the tiger on X:

“Such horrible tourism,” posted an X user. “Appalling behaviour,” added another. “Wherever this video belongs to, a few people in charge of supervision (forest department) must be suspended, and some of the vehicles involved in this must be blacklisted for life. It is horrible if we are treating wildlife like this,” expressed a third. “This is outrageous,” wrote a fourth.
