Tiger kills teenager during TikTok shoot in Pakistan, two arrested

A 19-year-old man, Talha, was killed by a tiger while filming a TikTok video at a wildlife breeding farm in Lahore, Pakistan. The incident occurred on Wednesday when the tiger was released from its cage for the shoot. Talha, who worked at the farm, was rushed to the hospital in critical condition but later died from his injuries.

Two people have been arrested in connection with the incident: the farm owner, Fayyaz, and online content creator Norman Hassan. According to prosecutors, Hassan initially claimed the injuries were from a dog attack, but investigations later determined they were inflicted by a tigress. The tiger has been handed over to the Wildlife Department, and investigators are examining whether the farmhouse had the proper licenses to keep the animal.

Police emphasized that "a passion for TikTok cannot be more important than a human life" and warned against putting lives at risk for social media content.
