200-kg tiger illegally raised in Nghe An house

Central Nghe An province’s forest protection officers have seized a tiger that had been illegally kept in captivity by a local resident.

Following a tip-off from the public, provincial forest rangers, with the aid of local police, yesterday examined a house in Do Thanh Commune, Yen Thanh District and found a tiger being kept there.

Le Van Dat, the house’s owner, failed to show any documents related to the tiger, which weighed about 200 kg.

The rangers initially waited for experts from the Wildlife Rescue Center in Bu Gia Map National Park to come and give the animal a shot of anesthetic before transporting it from the house to the center.

However, since such experts could not come soon, the rangers later asked Dat to give the tiger a shot of anesthetic and then put the animal in an iron cage.

The tiger was then transported by a van of the district traffic police to the center for necessary care before the animal can be released into the wild again.

As previously reported, over the past decade, several villages in the commune have become hectic markets for trading in tiger parts. 

In a recent investigation, Tuoi Tre reporters shed light on illegal tiger farms where the large cats are kept in captivity in small, unsanitary cages like those found at pig farms. 

T, a tiger farmer in the commune, told Tuoi Tre that a pair of tiger cubs weighing from 3-4 kilograms each was offered for sale from VND350 million ($16,800) to VND370 million ($17,762) (transportation costs included) in Thailand or Laos.

When the reporter asked to buy some tiger bone paste, T said there are two different prices: an “internal” price for those who produce the bone paste at VND15 million (US$720) per ounce, and an “external” price for strangers ranging from VND20 million ($960) to VND21 million ($1,008) per ounce.
