pimay11 Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 I heard about a restaurant adjacent to a night safari which is serving exotic meats and the owner is in the current government .......oops I didn't hear anything. The Nation: 11/17/2005 Visitors offered daily buffet of lion, tiger, elephant and giraffe meat; conservation groups outraged. Lovers of wild cuisine are in for a treat when Chiang Mai's Night Safari opens next year, project director Plodprasop Suraswadi said yesterday. Visitors to the park's Vareekunchorn restaurant will have the option of tucking in to an Exotic Buffet of tiger, lion, elephant and giraffe, for just Bt4,500 a head Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toybits Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 why don't they also catch restaurants that serve Pla Buek or Giant Mekong River Catfish? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackthorn2005 Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Four years.... why not life and send a right thorough message...... sort if strange following a man with blood on his hands.....doesnt sort of make sense.. why would any man go out like that if he's engaged in illegal action ... "The arrested men could face four years in jail for the illegal processing of wild and protected animals" How about castrating them and selling their testicles to the Chinese?

glomp Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 What i'd like to know is how the customers would know it was actually tiger or what not on the plate? Some dodgy dudes "promise" that it is infact so? Why not just sell them road kill and not take the risk as the presentation of the experience must be the selling point anyway?

Maybe because they think it is bad Karma to lie to a human but ok to kill endangered animals? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wintermute Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 An enterprising Thai military official could arrange Cambodian style shooting galleries where a tourist can blow up a lion with a grenade launcher then mama San Lek can use her village culinary skills to turn it into Laap or grilled lion on small sticks.

No wonder he's so wealthy. No doubt he sleeps soundly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thaiedward Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Of course, only foreign buyers... Good posts, young man. The figures I've encountered: @ 3ooo left in the wild; @ 3000 in tiger-farm-zoo-factories from which they sell the gorgeous beasts out the back-door to (largely) Chinese consumers who eat anything on four-legs...except the table...and then proceed to blend a bitter wine from the skelital remains.Quite sad. Perhaps you (and others) have heard of "Make an Uproar", an org devoted toward the preservation of these magnificent creatures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thaiedward Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 There are more Tigers owned as pets (4000+!!!) in Texas alone, than in the wild. Tibet and counties next to it are in the process of developing a 'wild Tiger enviroment/reserve' which crosses their borders. The population of Bangal Tigers is pretty close to the brink of extinction too. Such beautiful animals, and sadly, transferring 'Urbanised/Zoo-bred' Tigers back into the wild, seems to be nigh-on impossible, (Just in case anyone thought that might be a solution) though if the cross-borders reserve works, maybe there is a glimmer of hope. That's good news, sir. We can hope for the best. Bengals require such extensive range/territory which is threatened by humans' expansionist policies.Please boink MakeAnUproar.org. Thanks for your awareness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like he could substitute his viagra pills next time with thoughts of roasting lion loins on a BBQ pit with that facial expression he's making.
