ZOOS are killing healthy tigers and other endangered species and selling their skins to be stuffed and mounted as trophies for private collectors, an investigation has found.
The skins are sold by the zoos to taxidermists who prepare them for clients in defiance of attempts by the government to stifle the trade in tiger products.

STOP THIS ILLEGAL PRACTICE BY ZOO'S! ALSO, TIGERS AND OTHER ANIMALS SHOULD NEVER BE KILLED WHEN ESCAPING USUALLY DUE TO PROVOKING THEM WITH HARASSMENT ETC.. IF AN ANIMAL ESCAPES FROM THEIR QUARTERS, POLICE SHOULD SHOOT ONLY WITH HUMANE TRANQUILIZING DARTS. THIS SHOULD'VE BEEN DONE IN AT THE SAN FRANCISCO ZOO!!! |
