A picture made available on 15 August 2014 shows Chinese tourists after paying an additional fee to pose for pictures holding a young tiger at Sriracha Tiger Zoo, in Pattaya district, southeast of Bangkok, Thailand, 08 August 2014. Thailand's zoos with often bizarre animal shows are under fire from animal lovers, critical both of the tourists who show no care for the species other than a chance for entertainment and having their photo taken, and the business exploitation and welfare of the animals critics say have nothing to do with conservation and education, but profit. As most of the world shifts towards humane and natural eco-tourism, wildlife lovers say the attractions will only diminish Thailand's reputation. (Photo by Barbara Walton/EPA)
