Ha Tinh (VNA) - Police in the central province of Ha Tinh onMarch 9 launched legal proceedings against a local man for violatingregulations on wildlife protection, under Article 234 of the 2015 CriminalCode.

At 11.30pm on January 19, police raided the home of Dinh Nhat Nghe inQuang Diem commune, Huong Son district, and found a 250-kg tiger lying motionlessin the toilet.

The animal was immediately sent to the district’s police station forpreservation and investigation.

Nghe admitted that he bought the tiger in the neighbouring province ofNghe An to make bone glue.

Many people incorrectly believe that tigerbone glue has the ability to cure bone diseases and even improve a man’s virility,despite the lack of any scientific evidence to support such ideas. Thesefalsely-held beliefs are the main reason why tiger poaching is so rampant inVietnam, and the production of tiger glue has led to a dramatic decline in the animal’s numbers in the country./.
