apparently the removals stopped as there were law cases pending.

So now ALL the tigers have to be removed, the temple builds a zoo and gets 70 back plus a fee for "looking after" the tigers?

Thailand Officials Find 40 Dead Tiger Cubs in Temple Freezer
By RICHARD C. PADDOCK

New York Times

BANGKOK — Thai wildlife authorities found 40 dead tiger cubs in a freezer on Wednesday at the Tiger Temple, a controversial tourist attraction in western Thailand, and were investigating whether the carcasses are evidence of the temple’s involvement in the illegal wildlife trade.

The discovery came as Thai wildlife rangers were removing adult tigers from the temple in an effort to shut down the attraction after receiving complaints that the temple was trafficking in endangered species.

The temple, a Buddhist monastery that offered paying tourists close contact with tigers, has long been accused by conservationists and animal rights activists of exploiting and abusing the animals, accusations the temple has denied.

It had a reputation for being the personal fiefdom of a local police chief........ this of course would allow all sorts of weird stuff to carry on.
