Forty dead tiger cubs recovered from freezer in Thailand temple
The Buddhist temple in Kanchanaburi province, west of Bangkok, is a tourist destination where visitors snap selfies with bottle-fed cubs.
The 40 dead tiger cubs were found in a freezer in a kitchen area, the report quoted Adisorn Nuchdamrong, the deputy director general of the Department of National Parks, as saying
“They must be of some value for the temple to keep them,” he said. “But for what is beyond me.”
Officials wearing protective masks displayed the bodies of the cubs to media at the temple. Also on display was the body of a binturong, a protected species commonly known as a bearcat, which the authorities found with the cub carcasses.
Monks at the temple were not immediately available for comment.
