AceShowbiz - Hollywood animal trainer Michael Hackenberger is caught on tape brutally beating a tiger to train the animal. The man who trained the tiger used in Oscar film "Life of Pi" and the animals in James Franco's comedy "The Interview" even admitted to enjoying the whipping.
"I like hitting him in the face. And the paws - which get the paws off. And ... the beauty of the paws being on the rock, when you hit him, it's like a vice. It stings more," said the owner of Bowmanville Zoological Park in Bowmanville, Ontario.
He later added, "But, here's the problem at the end of the day. If ... we'd been running a videotape the whole time you were here, and you did a 45-second ... montage of the times I struck this animal, PETA would burn this place to the ground."
