Thai police and officials from the Department of National Parks, Wildlife and Plant Conservation seized four tiger cubs and arrested an alleged wildlife trafficker in the north-eastern province of Mukdahan today (Tuesday).

 

National park officials said that undercover agents had been in contact with a 63-year-old Thai man, a resident of Khun Tan district in the northern province Chiang Rai, who was suspected of having been engaged in the transnational trafficking of endangered wildlife species since mid-September, involving Laotian and Vietnamese businessmen.

 

The undercover agents offered to buy four tiger cubs and it was agreed that the cats would be delivered in Nong Khai Province on October 25th. The delivery date was then postponed to October 31st and, again, until yesterday, with the location of the delivery changed to Mukdahan province.

Like all poaching- they need to go after the "business men" behind the scheme.

All poaching? I hope you mean poaching involving financial gain/endangered animals? I admit as a kid I did a little poaching: rabbits, pheasants and fish and all consumed and not sold. Some people are very poor and when the rich own everything.
