Tiger & Monk (Unique Relationship Between Monks And Tigers)

[Mrshamill]

Bang goes another illusion -- according to NatGeo and the Call of the Wild Project, all is not how it seems. Google Tiger Temple Truths.

[arkosphilos]

scumbag monk is scumbag.

there is a reason why tiger is called a beast / wild animal.

it's all fun and games until someone loses their head.

JUST WALKING MY FUCKING TIGER, NO BIG DEAL

[nhlpens]

Whenever I feel down I think about tigers, look at pictures / videos.

When I am really low I watch this video, it makes me happy that a Tiger can trust a human and vice versa. And as every here say it would take tiger 2-3 seconds to kill this munk. But he don't feel the instinct to do so. So of course there has been nothing but postive bonding between these two. If you ever do a tiger harm he will kill it for sport, but treat him good and, well, as you can see. Good friends ! :)

@nhlpens your a wierdo

[grummelgnom]

Google the book Behind the Cloak of Buddha: A true story of animal and human endurance

[grummelgnom]

The "unique" relationship is animal cruelty (their will is broken, electro shocks etc.) and monks that exploit the animals for profit...

[crazywolfe2020]

@grummelgnom no its not cruelty

[rabolio]

i'm buddist i know this thing is possible for people who pratice the meditation.

[God4p]

[caveNOSTRILS]

awesome sunglasses. monk got style!

[6Jillybeans]

Amazing!!

[jstef215]

this is deceiving. the video doesn't even give half of the story. these tigers are kept in punishingly small cages for over 20 hours a day, malnourished, and routinely beaten. i really wish i had bookmarked the website, because there is a petition that i found which aims to end all of this. the monks are far from doing anything positive for the tigers; don't let this video sway you to believe that they are.

i'll be happy to give the first Dislike on this video.

[tigers0530]

@jstef215 Can you please give me the petition you are talking about... i am with you how can people do this i wish i could do something to help the Tigers

[jstef215]

@tigers0530 i'm sorry, but like i said, i forgot to bookmark the website. i found it on another video on YouTube though, if that helps at all :/

[chode2b]

@jstef215 I was there, to me they seems like bunch of healthy happy cats. Monks actually let the tiger roam free, even give them massage. check my video for the massage part

[coxi666]

@jstef215 that is wholey untrue. if they were beaten they would attack when out of the cage. all animals can be domesticated, anyone who says 'its a wild animal' clearly has no understanding of animal psycology. They hunt and kill cause they have to, not because they want to, and just like all of us, would prefer an easier life. These tigers love it, if anyone here is being manipulative, it is the tiger.

[jstef215]

@coxi666 Yeah, you must be right. Tigers are known for their skill in manipulation...

[coxi666]

@jstef215 So you don't think they can manipulate at all? retard. anyway, these tigers could kill the monks at any point but chose not to, they are clearly happy.

[jstef215]

@coxi666 Don't call me a "retard," it shows your immaturity. I don't know it for fact, but everything that I've previously stated on here has been echoed multiple times, whether on this video or elsewhere. The tigers are surely powerful enough to kill the monks, but there is a reason that humans are the top of the food chain. Like @grummelgnom stated, the tigers are afraid because they are treated with cruelty. When the show is on, the monks can act friendly.

[jstef215]

@coxi666 this doesn't necessarily mean that they don't do terrible things behind the scenes to keep the tigers at their will. Drugs could keep the tigers calm.

All animals can NOT be domesticated. It has been shown before that tigers can be kept as pets, and 5 years down the road the animal could go ferrel and attack its owner after being nothing but a great pet. You can never be so sure. An animal such as a tiger cannot just be tamed. It takes a lot more than that to domesticate a species.

[FireGuyX]

@jstef215 You are right, a tiger cannot behave like a dog or cat, but this is about property rights and private ownership.  The fact is those tigers would be dead if they were in the out in the wild. The tigers do not have any instinct to kill the monks because the tigers are being taken care of. The tigers are being well fed and obviously they have the enclosure to roam around.

[qwikstix3]

don't fight the beast, love it.

[DarkAngel31678]

I love Tigers but I'd rather not keep them because it would feel so wrong to take it from the wild.

[thehidden34]

Those Tigers are Buddhist, cool fact.......!!

[MandJRecords]

what do they feed those tigers? carrots

[DOwhoYOUare]

what do they feed him? veggies?

[xss4all]

The tiger get drugs. A tiger is a beast of prey and in his soul dangerous. Ever!!!

[will020ful]

wow i would like to ve one in my home to ........lol

[LittleMadPyro]

I think these monks are doing a wonderful job. If they raise the tiger cubs and treat them as family, the tigers will automatically become more gentle with humans.

[feev]

@LittleMadPyro Just same like we tamed cat.......
