Although much has been shared about the negative impact of using exotic animals as photo props for tourists, this trend is on the rise. "Critically endangered animals are routinely abused in gimmicky tourist traps across much of Southeast Asia with numerous helpless creatures employed as props for photographs. 'Cute' baby animals are especially commonly seen in such exploitative situations." said Daniel T Cross on Sustainability News. On a positive side, bystanders are starting to take action on their own. This video taken by Arkadiy Kulev was uploaded to YouTube, and promptly went viral, causing outrage on social media.
