webfact Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Missing tigers remain a mystery at Tiger TempleBANGKOK: -- Police, soldiers and relevant park authorities are returning to the so-called Tiger Temple in Kanchanaburi province today as missing tigers remains a mystery.They made returning with court order after yesterday inspection of the temple failed to get any progress after the temple refused to give cooperation for the combined team.The team was conducting an investigation into an alleged disappearance of three tigers from the temple following fresh complaints.Adisorn Nutdumrong, director-general of National Parks, Wildlife and Plant Conservation, led police, soldiers, veterinarians and officials from the Natural Resources and Environment Ministry to the Wat Pa Luangta Maha Bua Temple to probe the alleged disappearance of three tigers from the temple yesterday.The three tigers are among seven Bengal tigers which the department under former director general Plodprasob Suraswadee seized from the temple in 2001 but left them under care of the temple after it promised to look after them.The three missing tigers are 3-7 years of age.The authorities also brought with them microchip scanners to identify if there is any missing tiger.Located in Sai Yok district, the temple now houses a total of 146 tigers.However authorities could not conduct the probe after temple staffs refused to open the temple and unlock tiger cages.The authorities said they would seek a search warrant from the court and return to the temple again today.They plan to confiscate all tigers from the temple and transfer them to a sanctuary in Ratchaburi province if they find that the temple is unable to take care of the tigers. Concerned authorities had already impounded more than 100 hornbills from the temple, which are suspected to be involved in illegal trade.Source: http://englishnews.thaipbs.or.th/missing-tigers-remain-a-mystery-at-tiger-temple -- Thai PBS 2015-04-02 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they had their fingers crossed behind their backs when taking the vows so they are not bound by them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boomerangutang Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 If it's found they broke the law, and they're convicted in court - send 'em to prison like anyone else who broke the same law. Unfortunately, they're probably immune from going to a court and facing charges - like you and me would go to if we broke the law. Thailand is much too stratified socially for its own good. It needs to haul itself in to the 21st century. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boomerangutang Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 I am shocked about the terrible things said about monks and abbots and this great temple And if you never ate tiger meat you are missing something great. Eating tiger meat makes one more gentle and serene not funny or witty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, it's not, the official prison colour in Thailand is whatever colour you want, if you don't have your own the prison will provide brown shirts and shorts.

american12bthai Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Its not unusual for chinese to buy tigers for their "sports hunt" I bet the temple will have a new facility soon or someones uncle gets a new car. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junk1e Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 A tour guide in Bangkok who takes tourists there told me if you go behind the temple you can see the head monks shiny top of the range Mercedes. Thailand is known to be a major supplier of tigers and tiger parts to the Chinese market. Those in the know have been saying for years that this place is heavily involved in the illegal trade. Should be shut down and all the animals there confiscated. Why were officials denied entrance if nothing to hide? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mcffee Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 I dare to bet that they sold them to Chinese for the magic bodyparts, this is HUGE money. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katipo Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 'Missing' suggests nobody knows where they are; that they just wandered off and got lost. Anyone with 2/5ths of a brain knows that these Tigers, or at least parts of them, have been smuggled away probably to end up in some erection inducing formula somewhere in China. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phil2407 Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Is a court order not more powerful than a warrant - as 44 now imposed they don't need warrant - arrest every monk throw them in jail until they do the checks on the Tigers and if 3 missing are found release them (the monks) if not keep them in jail until someone talks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cumgranosalum Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Unless an international campaign is organised and an international organisation is recruited to transfer and look after them, it will be a case of "out of the frying pan, into the fire" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

worgeordie Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 The tigers are only there as an attraction,to solicit money from overseas and local tourists,they have nothing to do with Buddhism,just the opposite in fact,lots of other temples also have there attractions,its all about money ! regards Worgeordie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
