'Ballsy tourist slammed for grabbing tiger by testicles for zoo selfie' From NYPost
The woman, Waraschaya Akkarachaiyapas, had been visiting Tiger Kingdom zoo in Chiang Mai, northern Thailand, a hot spot for tourists looking to take selfies with the massive cat. However, the Bangkok resident got a more intimate wildlife encounter than most after cupping the tiger’s testicles and posting pics of her dirty deed on social media on Aug. 26.
“This is so rude,” wrote one critic about her risqué pic, according to The Daily Mail. “The tiger did not allow you to touch his privates. You have no right to do that.”
Upon learning about the shocking incident, Tiger Kingdom’s head zookeeper Pirom Cahntama maintained that visitors are closely monitored to ensure that their photo ops are conducted safely for both the sake of tourists and the animals. He added, “We do not allow tourists to grab the tigers’ testicles but they are allowed to touch any part of the animal’s body as long as our specialists are present.”
