Man jailed for killing and eating rarest tiger in China - Polidicks

[quote]A MAN who shot and ate what may have been the last Indochinese tiger left in the wild in China has been jailed for 12 years, state media has reported. According to a court in Yunnan province, Kang Wannian and another man shot the creature in a nature reserve, claiming self defence. When the two men realised they had killed an Indochinese Tiger, which is on China's list of endangered species, it was said they got scared and ran away, leaving the corpse behind. But the second man, Gao Zuqiao, later returned to the animal's body with six other people, skinned and dismembered the tiger, and brought the bones and flesh home to eat. Kang was sentenced to 12 years in jail for the illegal possession of a gun and illegally catching and killing a wild, endangered animal. He was also fined 580,000 yuan ($A96,383). Gao was jailed for four years and ordered to pay 20,000 yuan for covering up the crime. Three others were also found guilty of covering up the crime, and put on probation for four years. The only known wild Indochinese tiger in China, photographed in 2007 at the same reserve, has not been seen since Kang's meal, Yunnan-based newspaper Life News reported earlier this month. According to the Save The Tiger Fund, a 1998 expert assessment estimated that only 736 to 1,225 Indochinese tigers were left in the wild in the world. The group says the animals have been severely poached in many areas, and have disappeared from some reserves in Cambodia and Thailand in the last 10 years. Meanwhile, eight circus tigers and a lioness died during a 20-hour journey in an enclosed and heated truck across Siberia on Tuesday. Russian police are investigating.[/quote] [url=http://www.news.com.au/couriermail/story/0,23739,26520307-5013016,00.html]Sauce for that pasta[/url] What an asshat.

It better have tasted damn good for what he's paying.

Tony the tiger must be shitting himself

He must have been thinking, "This is more than good, it's [B]grrrrrreat![/B]".

I'd rather have bald eagle eggs cooked over moon rocks.

What, no death penalty for all those assholes? Oh right, you get death penalty for talking smack against the Chinese government, but just a few years in jail if you killed what's believed to be the last specimen of a national endangered species... Way to go, China... [b]*RAGE*[/b]

"It tasted like a cross between a bald eagle and a black rhino," stated the man. [QUOTE=Pretiacruento;19205052]What, no death penalty for all those assholes?

Did he have a side of frosted flakes with it?

Over there in fucking China, they love their death row and they seem to use it whenever they fucking can, but I believe that sentence is way too light for what they've done.

Sounds absolutely delicious. If only he had gotten death row I can make the following joke: "Guess we know what his decision for his last meal is gonna be :smug:"

Wait, so the guy who ate him got less of a sentence than the guy who just ran away?

^ they both ran away but one guy came back to eat it

[QUOTE=Pretiacruento;19205432]Why not? Animals don't kil eachother on purpose. I'd feed them to lions if I could... now THAT would be a fair trial, Roman style.[/QUOTE] yes they do.

[QUOTE=lolwutdude;19205633]yes they do.[/QUOTE] Show me 10 examples, please. I'll wait here, hitting F5 every 30 seconds, so I won't miss your elaborated response. :colbert:

^ if a lion kills a gazelle for food, isnt that on purpose? [editline]03:33AM[/editline] also im not giving you ten cause im lazy

[QUOTE=K00n!;19205745]^ if a lion kills a gazelle for food, isnt that on purpose?[/QUOTE] Yeah right 'cuz eating tigers for supper is the norm over there in China... :rolleyes: Those assholes had no reason to shoot that tiger.

Cool, animals feed on eachother, there's a purpose, their only purpose (and I didn't express myself very clearly before, it's my fault). But they don't kill eachother just because they can; i.e. I don't see elephants stomping on everything they see or bigass whales eating ALL the fish in the seas, [i]just for the experience[/i], see what I mean?? Those dudes had no right to shoot that tiger... 2. You can't compare tigers with chickens; for starters, chickens aren't an endangered species, as far as I know :P 3. Given the rare nature of that animal, I still believe the sentence was too light.

You said that they should be killed for killing an animal, but you don't give a fuck if millions of chickens get slaughtered as inhumane as possible. Aren't chickens animals too?

That man sure liked his meat rare.

Get. Genetic. Samples. We can rebuild him!

I thought they ate dogs :v:
