A video of a Pakistani influencer Nauman Hassan riding a chained Tiger has gone viral on social media. The video shared on his Instagram account features the influencer atop a visibly distressed tiger, chained and unable to move freely. The footage was met with immediate backlash as animal rights activists and concerned citizens condemned the act as cruel and irresponsible.
In the video we can see Nauman casually sitting on top on the tiger that is trying to walk around freely. Comments on the video have been highly critical of the act saying things like “ this is Animal cruelty” some said “this is illegal” Many users expressed their outrage, calling for stricter regulations against the use of wild animals in influencer content. However this is not the first time Influencer Nauman Hassan has used wild animals for his videos. His entire Instagram feed is full of videos featuring tigers, cheetahs , wild snakes and crocodiles. In one of the videos he’s seen caressing a cheetah but the cheetah reacts in an attacking way.
So far no actions have been taken by any of the authorities for the videos to be taken down from Instagram as they promote animal cruelty. Using wild animals to gain traction on social media is highly insensitive and can be extremely dangerous as well.
The incident prompted discussions about the role of social media in perpetuating harmful practices and the need for influencers to act as responsible stewards of the platforms they use. The treatment of the tiger raised significant animal welfare concerns. Riding a chained tiger not only inflicts psychological stress on the animal but also poses risks to bothe the animal and the public.
The incident highlights a broader issue regarding the responsibilities of influencers. With large followings, they hold considerable power to influence behaviours and perceptions. The promotion of harmful practices, even if done unintentionally can have far reaching consequences. As conversations about animal rights and welfare continue to gain momentum, it is essential for influencers and their followers to advocate for the humane treats net of all creatures, promoting a culture of respect nd conversation rather that exploitation.
