Is it illegal or unethical for Ayutthaya zoo to use my photo for advertising without my permission?

The photo belongs to the photographer, not to you. If you signed anything, including a money receipt, there is most likely a rights waiver attached that allows the photographer to use the photo as he chooses.

He"s from Oregon, that state is full of whackos.

Brag without telling me you are bragging...

First of all, you’re sick in the head for even taking pictures with these animals that get drugged let alone other things that you mentioned……and second of all who cares if they used your picture because you’re complaining about what they’re doing and not even considering what you have done. Ridiculous. Just stay away from those poor animals that have to suffer for your joy🤬🤬🤬🤬

Gosh, sure to turn people away

The American dream! How can I get something for nothing!

I’m disappointed in the mean comments. Not every person knows or fully understands how these beautiful animals are treated.

Looks like a couple of pussies

As it has been stated. Drugging big cats and removing their claws is unethical.

What’s going on with the tiny leg on the table? Is he a contortionist or is there a missing child somewhere.

Why is it always about the “money”? You clearly posed with the poor animal and did so willingly.

Cats on Xanax

Congratulations

What goes around, comes around

I thought this guy had no legs in the picture. He wants credentials back for the credentials he paid to take a picture with that toger. You got what you paid for. Now later you want to ask for compensation for that photo. It is they captured it when you agreed to pay for your privelege to pet that animal.. I don't think they owe you. Youre not that photogenic... You're not even in a swimsuit. 🤷‍♂️ It's like going to a football game and the out you on tv for 1 second. They don't owe you dude. Take your American privelege out when you travel.

Clickbait...

There are two possible options here:

1. You're bored so you decided to feed your ego by spewing nonsense here and then feed your ego with negative comments while you're reclining in a comfortable chair and eating greasy food, thereby fastening your departure from this world (which is not a bad thing actually )

2. You really ask this question and thus prove once again that most of you Americans really think that you are an important and exceptional nation, which you have proven by provoking 123 armed conflicts in 246 years of existence, and killing millions of people, starting with native Indians.

I don't know which of these is true, but I'm surprised that the admin tolerates posts like this where animal abuse is supported in the country you love so much.

Others have dragged you in the comments so I won’t.

While not familiar with TH laws on stuff like this specifically I do know in most countries any forms you sign will explain they can do this. And at times it won’t even be something you sign just a random sign you should have read. Depends on local laws how far they have to go.

It is common practice for such photos to be able to be used for advertising.

They own the photo. That is how copyright works.

While there may be laws needing model releases that is about the only restriction that the owner of the copyright has.

So I doubt you could sue as they are likely 100% legal. But even if not it wouldn’t be worth spending money to sue them.

"dam" is spelt "damn".

Which ones the pussy?

Honestly the tourists coming to Thailand now are absolute dross. Since

Can someone meme a tiger dick in his mouth please.

What a loser

Pleb goes to a zoo exploiting animals, gets offended when he himself, gets exploited. Couldn't make it up

No, you get nothing.

I was on a massive billboard for a bird sanctuary and Chacoengsao, with a bunch of parrots all over me. I'd paid to take the photo, but then they used it for their billboards 😆 definitely didnt get paid, but got a good handful of photos sent to me of someone standing in front of the billboard grabbing my boobs, so at least there was that 🤷🏼‍♀️

@Christopher ******

your elevator doesn't go all the way to the top floor does it? 🤡

Was the picture taken with your personal camera and then stolen by the park Or was it taken by a photographer at your request? If it’s the latter then the photograph is the property of the person who took the original snap on their camera and you don’t have a leg to stand on for ‘compensation’.

Tool.

Considering they have to blur pictures on Facebook of other people. I reckon they might have a problem .

Had that happen to me with an agent for Thai driver license. I messaged them and they removed it.

Depends on who is posting this, the tiger, or the complete fuckwit asshole in the cap and glasses.

If the tiger is posting, yeah mate, you should make formal complaint and sue the fuck out of him

I thought you were going to write that you realised how wrong it was to even have your photo taken with the animal in the first place. Don’t you know they sedate them heavily and how unhealthy it is for the animals to have people touching them all day?

And yet all you’re doing is complaining how they used your photo without permission. There’s a much bigger problem here - and that’s the fact you thought it was ok to go there in the first place.

Drugged white animal posing with a near comatose tiger

Paying money and supporting these places is unethical, congratulations on outing yourself as a massive 🔔🔚

I think you having taken photo with tiger is unethical

Twat

I'm seriously considering starting a collection of these wild questions/posts. This is hilarious. Also as an American we don't claim this. He's from Portland.

This is sad though. I love the dude white knighting for the guy in the comments also.

So u took the pic or the zoo personal? The copy right belong to the photographer, not the subject.

Leave guys he is American he can say things like that

Don't poke the hornets nest, there country there rules, you will not benefit from debating what you think is right or wrong.

People in comments are patethic. Super Judgmental as if they themselves are saints and never do/haven't done any actions that can't be judged by others. To the OP: Try to contact the organization and respectfully ask them to remove your picture. If that doesn't work and they don't remove it, then forget and forgive them and move on.

You’re not a nice person!

Oh the comments. Golden

@Christopher ******

…..

How dare your brain work this way.

Compensation Hahaha...you think your in the wests wee bubble... Get a life and be happy you were chosen..

🤡🤡🤡🤡

So wtf you want? A cookie? What a dork.

The only unethical thing is people who support animal abuse!! So you are complaining about your photo being used, which you were happy to have taken, with a drugged tiger. Grow up!!

You are a f*ing idiot.

Disgusting human

Did the tiger get asked permission to be caged for his whole life just to be a photo prop for stupid people , no he didn’t so why should you get that privilege

Wow you're famous.

Did you pull out or tiger said finish inside?

Got to be a Troll 🤦‍♂️

They have 100s of photos to choose from, it's just a random photo, think yourself lucky they chose your photo instead of someone else's who wouldn't give a fk.

It’s not allowed without your permission I see a big compensation payout for you and the horizon go for it

@Chris******

when your parents had sex, I wonder if they really considered the consequences of their actions.

anybody who wears losing franchise baseball gear in thailand deserves plenty of mockery

Did the tiger eat your bottom half?

I’m sure the tigers are more pissed than you are their pictures are circulating with you in them. Their street cred is destroyed because of these photos.

But yeh, taking photos with drugged up tigers isn’t cool.

Check into the PDPA law that came into effect in 2021.

I honestly throught this was a troll post

Sorry for saying this but why do itt allways hawe to be about monney??

Americans allways want compansation or they sue your ass from here to the moon.???

Just hawe to mention itt

He'd be more than one meal for the cat

It the same situation for the poor tiger. Oh the irony of your outrage.

You are officially a 🤡

Surely this is a gee up

All this post has done is bring out all the animal activist Karens

@Christopher ******

There He is, the typical American KAREN at its finest.

It is Thailand, and not usa.

Go sue them, go. Lol 🤦‍♂️

You’re lucky it’s not a photo of the tiger having you for lunch.

What year is it 2005? who still takes pictures with tigers? It's a total NO GO😡😡😡

I would argue the unethical element is participating in a system that drugs animals so that you, as a tourist can take a photo.

What's unethical is supporting places that mistreat animals and then complaining about your photo being used. Good on them for showing the kind of people who visit.

Did you ask the tiger for permission?
