Two men detained for illegal tiger transportation

September 19, 2019 - 05:38 PM

The police in the northern province of Quang Ninh have arrested two men for illegally transporting a 240-kilo tiger.

Nguyen Nhat Hong, 37, and Nguyen Thai Chien, 27, were found transporting the tiger in a pickup truck from Nghe An to Quang Ninh Province.

The tiger found in the pickup truck

Minh admitted that he bought the animal from a man in Nghe An and hired Chien, the car owner, to bring the tiger to Nguyen Van Minh, in Quang Ninh’s Ha Long City. Minh then intended to use the tiger for bone glue production.

At Minh’s house, the police also detected tiger bones and skin.
