Dreamworld handlers punch tiger in disturbing video

A disturbing video of handlers at Dreamworld mistreating a tiger has been shared online, with the controversial footage prompting outrage from viewers.

The footage, which surfaced online on Thursday, shows workers at the Queensland theme park hitting the animal on the head and dragging it by the tail.

The video surfaced days after the one-year anniversary of the Thunder River Rapids Ride tragedy which claimed the lives of four people attending the park.

"That's so far beyond disgusting and I hope there’s justice for their actions," Cindy Lyn commented on the post.

"Wow I wish the tiger bit him," another wrote.

What are your thoughts? Do you think the handler is out of line?
