D’Angelo Russell, a guard for the Brooklyn Nets, likes to swim with tigers. You read that right. Russell just posted a video to Instagram that shows him swimming with two Bengal tigers at a Florida wildlife refuge. The video quickly went viral, and many people were shocked and worried about Russell’s safety and the safety of the animals.
Russell is known for his love of animals. In an interview with ESPN, he said that he has been going to the refuge for years and has become close with the tigers. He also said that the tigers are well-trained and have grown up in a zoo, which makes them used to being around people.
But some people who work for animal rights have said that Russell’s actions are wrong because they say it is careless to suggest that swimming with wild animals is safe. They say that tigers are dangerous animals that can act in strange ways, even when they are kept as pets.
No matter what the fuss is about, Russell clearly loves animals more than just swimming with them. He has also worked on a number of projects to help animals, such as working with the ASPCA to save dogs from homes that kill a lot of them.
In any case, Russell’s movie has caused a lot of people to talk about how people should interact with wild animals and when it’s okay to get this close to animals that are so strong. How do you feel? Share your thoughts in the box below!
