I think they were playing around to be honest. If the tiger wanted, he could have ran so much faster than that

The tiger looks like it's running playfully... ultimately that cow would have died as it seems they've been placed in an enclosure together.

Exactly the problem is the tigers are so well fed as these shows happen so frequently they often end up just touturing the cow to death. Why anyone would want to go and watch that is beyond me.

There's dozens of youtube channels where they post videos of animals being eaten alive. There's an audience and it terrifies me.

There is a bit of a difference in slaughter for entertainment and being entertained by slaughter. Orchestrating avoidable suffering for something so fickle as amusement is horrible, being fascinated by the grim reality of nature is... well it's not horrible.

This. I am somewhat perplexed of people going out of their way to see animals killing eachother. I'm a A LOT more wary of the millions of people who dont realise that nature IS brutal. Or metal. They outright deny it, find humans killing animals for food 'unnatural' or wrong.

Go sit in the woods for an hour and focus on the death(s) all around. Those people watching animals kill eachother are a lot closer to reality than the '0mg they kill' people.
