Chinese Man Sentenced To 13 Years in Jail for Killing, Eating 3 Tigers [1]

"A Chinese businessman was sentenced to 13 years in prison after he killed and ate three tigers.

The man, identified only by his surname Xu, made three trips to the southern province of Guangdong to buy the tigers. In those trips he took 15 other people who would assist and watch as he slaughtered the exotic animals.

During the trial it was said that Xu would grill tiger bones and paws, and stored their penises. Xu would also eat the meat and create alcohol out of the tiger's blood, which he would drink, according to a Xinhua News Agency."

Alejandro Alba reports for the New York Daily News December 31, 2014. [2]
