Tom Sandoval Called Out By PETA For Tiger Snap
Vanderpump Rules star Tom Sandoval has been called out by PETA for his recent Thailand tiger snap. He took a photo with the animal while visiting a zoo on vacation. Yet, it was the video of them prompting the poor creature to jump on his back to get the right shot and more that had them up in arms. Read on for more details.
Tom Sandoval Called Out By PETA For Tiger Snap
For months, Tom Sandoval has been working to rebuild his tarnished image after ‘Scandoval.’ When he cheated on his longtime girlfriend, Ariana Madix with Rachel Leviss, it changed the game. Not only that, but he had little remorse. More so, he admitted to multiple infidelities. Now, both fans and castmates despised him. He then went on Special Forces to get beaten up and down for all he had done wrong. This included tarnishing his family name and hurting the people he loved. More so, he claimed he had quit drinking but this may have been all for his love of Leviss.
Now, Sandoval has made another misstep just weeks before Season 11 of Vanderpump Rules is set to begin. While on vacation with co-star, Tom Schwartz and jewelry designer, Kyle Chan, they stopped at Tiger World Thailand. There, he posed with a tiger, and here’s the video of how it all went down.
SHAME ON YOU Tom Sandoval 😤

Immediately, fans went after him for what he had done as these animals are not toys or props. More so, he does not seem to realize that they are in captivity and that it is cruel what they go through. Co-star, Lala Kent sent out a message to him without saying his name while James Kennedy also called him out. Now, PETA has sent a message, per TMZ and they are livid with him.
“When popular folks like you pose with wild animals, people are moved to support pay-to-play animal experiences, for which big-cat cubs are torn away from their mothers prematurely and denied their freedom as well as anything remotely natural and important to them.”
Learn, Tom, Learn
PETA wanted to let Tom Sandoval know that many places, like the one he visited, act like they are sanctuaries. In reality, no place that cares truly for animals would remove them from their mothers. Not only that, but they would not utilize them for such entertainment purposes. This is a dangerous act and should be seen as one. PETA encouraged Sandoval to contact them at any time so he could understand which places are genuine and which ones are using a mask. As to whether or not he will heed their advice or issue an apology is yet to be seen.
Do you think what he did was wrong or does he just not care? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
