Viral Video of Drone-Hunting Tigers Hides Dark Reality

Ever wonder what it might feel like to be stalked by a tiger? New drone footage from China will give you a thrill, though the backstory might bring you back down.

Footage released by the Chinese state broadcaster CCTV shows Siberian tigers at the Siberian Tiger Park in Harbin, a city in northeast China, sprinting after an airborne drone in the February snow. According to CCTV, park officials use the drones to exercise the big cats and help them drop the pounds they pack on over the cold winter. When a swipe of a paw finally brings down the electronic quarry, the tigers gnaw on it before getting spooked by its smoking innards.

The video has gone viral, but the story behind the tiger park is not all fun and games.
