Heaven knows what would have become of this little Tiger cub if he hadn't been discovered, Just shocking.

read past the FB icon etc as its a longer read than it appears at first.

Just read about this LW - absolutely shocking affraid but glad the little cub was found before going off to Iran to be probably a 'pet'.

Good work by the customs to rescue the little fella and hopefully he's now in safe hands. Not the best that he'll probablyend up in a zoo but so much better than what could have been in Iran

Thats shocking LW, with the Tiger population in so much peril. The poor animal would proberbly have ended up dead, if customs had'nt found it. I think that was a good idea increasing the prison term to 10 yrs

Read about this earlier and couldn't believe it. At least it will be safe and cared for, but as you say, it should be in the wild. Honestly, i despair with mankind sometimes affraid

That poor cub. He looks awful in that case. Greed has a lot to answer for. Its a very little sum of money that could have killed the cub if customs hadnt found it.! Im disgusted.
