On November 29th, 2023, Thai Natural Resources and Environmental Crime Suppression Units (NED) and U.S. Marine and Wildlife animal officials captured a wildlife trader and confiscated over 500 pieces of unregistered wild animal carcasses in Mueang, Pathum Thani.

 

According to a report by NED officials, in January of 2023, two suspects possessed Asian golden cat carcasses in Lat Phrao, Bangkok, and were linked to a suspect trading wildlife carcasses on social media.

 

The police conducted further investigation and tracked down a suspect identified only as Mr. Kan, a 41-year-old wildlife trader.
During the investigation, Kan reportedly confessed that he had been an admin on social media groups for more than 2 years selling wildlife carcasses including royal tiger, leopard, black panther, and other rare tiger carcasses from other unknown sources of traders on Facebook.
