The show, demonstrating the tender friendship of tigers and pigs, which was very popular among visitors to the zoo in Sriracha in Thailand, is forbidden after an incident between animals filmed by one of the visitors and posted on the Internet.

The zoo had special enclosures with a sow lives feeding milk to tiger cubs, and a tigress, feeding piglets. However, the idyll of the peaceful existence of predators and their potential prey naturally ended. Netizens were horrified by the short video with a heart-rending screeching little pig in the claws of a tiger.

However, even before this incident, many criticized the zoo, complaining that the show was "inappropriate." As a result, Matohay Jeharwae, the zoo manager, received instructions from the Department of National Parks, Wildlife and Plant Protection Srirachi to separate the pig from the tiger and immediately stop showing. The pig was returned safe and sound to the pig farm at the zoo, and the owners were warned that if such shows continued, the zoo license would be immediately suspended.

A sign is posted at the zoo informing tourists about the cessation of the show.

The private zoo in Siracha was founded in 1997 to work in the tourist and entertainment direction. The main visitors are tourists from China, Vietnam, Korea and Russia.
