Two farmers in northeast China Heilongjiang Province have been sentenced to nine and five years in jail because of eating a tiger, the local court said on Tuesday.
Zhang Licheng and Gong Weisheng, both farmers in Dongning County, were put into prison for the crime of illegally hunting and killing endangered wild animal species, according to the People’s Court of Dongning County.
The Siberian tiger, mistakenly trapped but intentionally(故意的)eaten by the farmers, was an endangered animal which is under the first-class state protection in the country. The farmers, living in a village very close to forests, used to trap wild animals like roe deer and hares when the dying tiger unfortunately caught in their trap in February 2003.
Knowing that tiger trade was illegal, Zhang and Gong, however, thought eating a dead tiger’s meat was not breaking the law. They decided to cover it up and therefore did not report to the relevant authorities, the court said.
Six days later they secrectly carried home the tiger that had died of hunger as they had expected.The two farmers burnt the tiger’s skin, ate its meat and hid away the bones, according to the court. The crime was uncovered and reported to the police about a year later and the transgressors(违反者)were arrested on Jan.16, 2004.
