Thai monks, kept 40 dead cubs in temple freezer!!
When Thai officials cracked open a freezer in the Buddhist monastery’s kitchen on Wednesday, they were greeted by a blast of chill air and an unnerving sight: the bodies of 40 frozen tiger cubs. The Tiger Temple, in Kanchanaburi, Thailand, is far from a typical Buddhist temple. Until wildlife authorities took action this week, more than 100 tigers lived under the monks’ care, attracting tourists en masse as well as controversy. Though officials were surprised to find the cubs’ corpses during this week’s investigation, the incident had a long-burning wick. The temple’s two-decades-long history is marred by accusations that the monks bred the tigers for profit, hid missing animals and fueled the wildlife trade. “We don’t know why the temple decided to keep these cubs in the freezer,” Anusorn Noochdumrong, an official with Thailand’s Department of National Parks, told the Associated Press. “We will collect these carcasses for DNA analysis.” Opinions in the comments please
