137 tigers confiscated from infamous Thai ‘Tiger Temple’


bangkokA day-long cat-and-mouse game continued at controversial Buddhist temple in Thailand when Wildlife authorities of Thailand raided the Kanchanaburi temple, more commonly known as the “Tiger Temple”.

Following a local court order, the wildlife officials raided the temple where tigers are kept, taking away three of the animals and vowing to confiscate scores more in response to global pressure over wildlife trafficking. The activists accused the temple’s monks of illegally breeding tigers, although the temple authorities completely denied the accusations.
