"A CRY FOR THE TIGER"
These men were apprehended in January 2011 while trying to sell a tiger skin near Chandrapur, India. Illegal trade in tiger bone, eyes, whiskers, penises, teeth and other parts for traditional Chines medicine may generate up to five million dollars a year.
Most poaching is done by local people trying to supplement their income.
These men were capture by local informants in a program set up by The Wildlife Protection Society of India who pay local people for information when they see someone poaching wildlife or cutting trees. |
