China businessman jailed for 13 years for buying and eating three tigers

BEIJING (AFP) - A Chinese businessman who bought and ate three tigers has been sentenced to 13 years in prison, state media reported on Tuesday.
The wealthy real estate developer, identified only by his surname Xu, has "a special hobby of grilling tiger bones, boning tiger paws, storing tiger penis, eating tiger meat and drinking tiger blood alcohol", the official Xinhua news agency said in June when he went on trial.
Xu organised three separate trips last year for a total of 15 people, including himself, to Leizhou in the southern province of Guangdong, where they bought tigers for a "huge amount of money" that were killed and dismembered as they watched, the government-run news portal gxnews.com.cn reported on Tuesday.
One of them filmed the entire process of a tiger slaughter with his mobile phone. The footage was later obtained by the police.
The police seized eight pieces of animal meat and bones from a refrigerator in Xu's home, some of which were later identified as tiger parts, including a penis, the report said, adding that 16 geckos and a cobra were also found.
A court in Guangxi earlier this year convicted the 15 of "illegally transporting precious and endangered wild animal products" but the conviction was not reported at the time.
Xu was sentenced to 13 years in prison and a fine of 1.55 million yuan (S$329,500), gxnews.com.cn said, with the others jailed for terms between five and six and a half years, and given smaller fines.
They appealed and a higher court upheld the ruling on Monday, the report said.
Tiger bones have long been an ingredient of traditional Chinese medicine, supposedly for a capacity to strengthen the human body, and while they have been removed from its official ingredient list the belief persists among some.
It is a long-held belief across parts of Asia that penises of animals such as tigers and seals can boost men's sexual performance.
There is no orthodox scientific evidence for such claims.
Decades of trafficking and habitat destruction have slashed the tiger population from 100,000 a century ago to approximately 3,000, according to the International Union for the Conservation of Nature's Red List of threatened species, where the tiger is classed as endangered.

That is a pretty hardcore sentence. I'm thinking there is much more to this than meets the eye. China doesn't lock wealthy people up for killing tigers. China locks wealthy people up for falling foul of the communist party.

I was more wondering what it's like to bone a tiger's paw - can't imagine the tiger would be all that into it.

I'd be REALLY HAPPY to see a LOT more of this. From Rhino's to brown bears in the Appalachians them old fucks in China been killing millions off animals globally, just to try and get a hard on for some honey. Stupid bastards never heard of Viagra? jesus. It's beyond stupid, it's primitive, can't they worship some tree spirit or something?

Actually, the Chinese judicial system has gotten a lot better in recent years. They regularly lock up people, whether or not they're rich, for breaking the law. Goes to show they're finally tightening the noose on the illegal animal trade. Still tons out there, but it's a start. As China develops further, they'll start caring more and more about the environment and all that. They're already quite aware of the impact their population has on the resources and landscape of their country.Digg3r wrote:That is a pretty hardcore sentence.

13 years for eating some tigers? He could have murdered a woman and child in Cambodia for that price, so long he was drunk and they were foreigners.

Chinese won't be happy until every animal showing the slightest bit of virility is massacred for their 'placebo' boners. "Encouraged by the tiger farming industry, China’s wealthy are rediscovering a taste for tiger bone wine – promoted as a treatment for rheumatism and impotence – as well as tiger skin rugs and stuffed animals, sought after as status symbols among an elite obsessed with conspicuous consumption.
That trend, in turn, is only making tiger poaching more lucrative across Asia – because wild tigers are still cheaper to kill and smuggle across borders than captive bred ones and often preferred by consumers. Farming has removed any stigma from tiger products and undermined global efforts to stamp out the illegal trade" LINK: http://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/j ... life-trade
