Watch: Boy with chained tiger sparks outrage among netizens

In a recent video circulating on social media, a tiger is seen confined in a small space restrained by a chain attached to its collar. What's more shocking is that the chained tiger is held by a boy who appears to be calmly walking the animal and even petting it!
The video was posted by a user named "Nouman Hassan", who has over 955,000 followers on Instagram.The video was posted without any captions but has sparked intense discussions among netizens on the platform, primarily focusing on the recklessness of the person who allowed a tiger to interact with a child, potentially endangering the child's life for the sake of a video.

Since 2005, video platforms like YouTube gained popularity. However, this era also saw people performing bizarre acts in front of cameras to quickly gain views, often putting their lives at risk. This trend has led to ongoing debates about the content promoted on social media. In the video, the tiger is restrained by a chain held by a child.

One Instagram user commented on the video, expressing concern about the safety of everyone in the room, saying, "You know your tiger could harm the kid anytime..." Another user pointed out the danger of being near a predator.
The video has already amassed hundreds of thousands of views, with many viewers criticising the possible illegal captivity of the tiger. One Instagram viewer described it as "stupid and risky."

Experts argue that any interaction with a wild animal, no matter how well-trained, carries inherent risks. They stress that captive animals can be most unpredictable when given the freedom to roam.

Nevertheless, some viewers are unaware of the risks and even applaud the video as "epic." Some see it as thrilling and rare, suggesting that such occurrences are not part of everyday life.
