TikTok viewers split over tiger's vet attack
People thought that the lady had an extremely close call with the tiger. Others were more concerned about the animals being in a zoo. Watch the video of the tiger clawing at the vet below:
mosestruckdriver defended the tiger:
"I don’t blame the tigers, some of them hate being stuck in an environment where everything is limited and can’t do anything but sit there for entertainment, but most likely the tiger got punished smh 🤦♀"
Char smithy commented:
"Yes, let’s get a big, dangerous cat, but also let’s have the most useless and under-required fences to contain them."
nc0l15= was concerned about the tiger:
"Hopefully, the tiger didn’t get any repercussions for simply doing what it would have done out in the wild if it weren’t enclosed, but I am also hoping the handler is okay for the most part. I know the tiger’s claws aren’t so little or dull and are painful to endure."

joe_Delooze nored:
"Those fences are so low. the tiger could literally step over them. wouldn't even have to jump."
Allie Martin shared:
"As a vet tech (small animal), you should never trust even a domestic cat. The coat she’s wearing isn’t helping either. This is terrifying."
Soft&Wild🔓 wondered:
"Why did she go inside there? I felt so scared for her😱"
Cake Boots commented:
"People saying no sympathy, but this is the freaking vet not the zoo owner. Do ya'll want tigers to be neglected as well as locked up? Be mad at the zoo, not the lady who was hired to give medical care to them 💀"
