This tiger video is going viral for all the wrong reasons. I’m shocked by the trend of taking photos with captive tigers

MAE RIM, THAILAND - JULY 25: A tiger is surrounded by Chinese tourists on July 25, 2014 at Tiger Kingdom in Mae Rim, Thailand. Thailand's government announced recently that visa fees will be waived for tourists from China and Taiwan between August 1 and October 31 in a bid to boost tourism affected by recent political turmoil.

A viral video of a captive tiger is ranking up tens of thousands of views – and hundreds of angry comments.
