Inspectors find all is well at tiger temple

Wildlife officials have found no evidence of trade in tigers at Wat Pa Luangta Maha Bua in Kanchanaburi, which has been allowed to take care of the rare species even though possession is illegal.

The temple, which is famous with tourists for its tiger "zoo", is under the spotlight again after complaints were made to the Department of National Park, Wildlife and Plant Conservation (DNP).

However, officials who inspected the temple Thursday found nothing unusual in arrangements for caring for the tigers, though they did confiscate a few other species they found there.

det ser ud til at tigertemplet bliver lukket og dyrene fjernet :TUP det var på tide



ALL 146 TIGERS currently at Wat Pa Luang Ta Bua in Saiyok district in Kanchanaburi will be moved to Khaoson and Khao Pratabchang wildlife breeding centres in Ratchaburi, a top official said yesterday.

Nipon Chotiban, director-general of the Department of National Parks, Wildlife and Plant Conserva-tion (DNP) yesterday visited the breeding centre to make sure that cages and other facilities were ready for the tigers.

However, Nipon was unable to predict if the impending transfer would spark the kind of protest witnessed at the temple three days ago.

Wat Pa Luang Ta Bua, known as the "Tiger Temple", was rocked by a 24-hour stand-off between 200 monks, novices, local residents, and more than 600 local officials who tried to relocate six Asian black bears to a new sanctuary in Chon Buri.

"We have to map out a careful plan before executing the relocation of the wildlife,'' he said.

The centres would have adequate tiger specialists, veterinarians and handlers to take care of the tigers. Eventually, some tigers native to the area would be released to the wild.

"This will depend on the species. Most of the tigers at Wat Pa Luang Ta Bua are Bengal tigers, not local breeds. So we must take care of them till they die," he said.

Some of the tigers would be donated to zoos with licences to breed wildlife.

This will help reduce the financial burden on the state for the upkeep of the tigers, each of which costs about Bt7,000 a month to feed and take care of.

He said the tigers would be transferred after Songkran.

det er næsten for godt til at være sandt, vi må vente og se om de virkelig lukker stedet helt ned

---

templet i selv sig bliver ikke lukket af myndighederne, alle tigrene bliver fjernet det er 100 prosendt sikkert

der var engang hvor man kunne betale lidt under bordret de tider er forbi

---

Måske på tide at lukke alle zoologiske haver.

---

Hej Skipper... Faktisk gør Zoo meget for bevarelse af MEGET truede dyrearter .. som en stupid dyreart gør alt for at udrydde alle andre arter. Tiden for at gå tilbage er for længst forbi .. desværre.

---

Vilde dyr hører til i naturen, det kan vi vel blive enige om dardi.
Og ikke i bure/fangenskab, hvor de kan beskues, for at tilfredsstille vor nysgerrighed efter at se hvordan de ser ud.

Jeg ved ikke om du har set denne video, men jeg synes den viser, at det ikke er for sent, men at det måske er viljen til at gennemføre det, der mangler.

---

penge penge penge, hvem skal nu betale er nok det største problem

---

@Skipper... du har helt ret .. problemet er at vi skubber dyrene ud af deres naturlige levesteder .. og der er SÅ meget krybskytteri... puha hvor er menneskene nogle (censureret af ADM !!)

---

Den video 'røg' lige i hjertet Skipper.

Man skal sgu være en hård negl, for ikke at føle sig rørt.

der sker da lidt i sagen selv om det går langsomt, for langsom((1((

30 more dead cubs found



http://www.bangko...cubs-found

Ja, de har haft en stor industri med "hellige amuletter", -og ikke kun fra tigre, men også andre eksotiske dyr.
En del har nok været brugt til illegal eksport til andre asiatiske lande.

Ulovlig træ har de også haft omgang med: http://www.bangko...cubs-found
Aside from the tigers, the team also found one Banteng and pieces of illegal timber, some of which was believed to be the protected Afzelia xylocarpa variety while the rest awaits examination to find out...

Det er ikke kun turister som har besøgt templet, der har bidraget til økonomien.

Ufatteligt at det har kunnet stå på i så mange år før nogen har reageret på den "fabrik". - Men sikkert fordi de har kunnet arbejde under dække af religionen, samt at de var munke. -Mange munke er "forretningsmænd" i det skjulte, og deres tempel en form for "fabrik" med næsten gratis arbejdskraft.
Det er jo meget normalt at voksne folk med arbejde bruger deres ferie på at arbejde gratis i f. eks. sommerferien.(Har selv talt med en veluddannet mand fra Bangkok-området, som var rejst til Na Klang (Det lille Bjergtempel) for at arbejde på den måde).

Conservation Rhetoric Falls Apart as 1,000 Magic Tiger Amulets Seized From Monk

KANCHANABURI — Nine tiger fangs, more than 1,000 amulets containing tiger skin and dozens of jars filled with dead animals and animal parts were found this afternoon in a pick-up truck driven out of the Tiger Temple by a monk and two disciples.


While officials continued to catalog the horrors hidden within, the seizure of a large stock of mystical amulets containing actual tiger parts being taken out of the temple by a monk furthers the impression that the worst kind of trafficking was going on at a place that marketed itself worldwide as a friend to wildlife.

The two disciples were identified as Net Kulruengkrai and Kongkiet Chanpeng. The monk of the temple was reportedly known as Phra Lamom.

The pick-up truck was about to leave the temple at around noon when it was stopped by officers at a checkpoint set up in front of the temple.

Lion, Tiger Pelt, More Wildlife Discovered Inside ‘Tiger Temple’

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Neither regional wildlife officer Yanyong Lekavichit who is in charge of the raid nor temple lawyer Saiyood Pengboonchoo could be reached for comment.

Inside the jars were found a baby moonbear, leopard organs and more baby tigers. Earlier today officials discovered a living lion hidden away, at least one large tiger pelt and other protected species.

For years the commercial temple has profited handsomely from tourism while billing itself as a spiritual organization dedicated to wildlife conservation. It opened 22 years ago with a handful of tigers, a population it increased through an active breeding program.

Last year a former veterinarian joined those who’ve long criticized the temple with allegations of trafficking, saying it had sold at least three tigers.

Officials have been making grim discoveries ever since they finally gained access to the site, where tourists pay to pose for photos with the tigers, including 40 dead newborn tiger cubs on Wednesday.

The Department of National Parks, Wildlife and Conservation filed trafficking charge against the temple yesterday. No one at the powerful and profitable facility has been personally identified for prosecution.

According to Associated Press, the temple disciples riding in the truck were arrested and charged with possession of illegal wildlife, and the monk would be arrested once he was defrocked.

Mon dog alle disse ulovligheder har kunnet foregå uden at nogle lokale embedsmænd har været bestukket og dermed lukket øjnene for "brugsret" og måden det blev brugt på?- Det må jo være "regeringsjord/-skov" som er blevet brugt.

mange rigtig mange har fået penge under bordet men kan det bevises og bliver de retsforfulgt det kommer til at tage lang tid før vi får svaret

---

Ja, man skal jo nok ikke forvente at denne "hertug / hellige svindler" fortæller alt for meget.((1((
Han var jo hurtig nok til at få røven med sig og væk, da balladen startede. - Han var sikkert blevet advaret af sine "venner" hos politiet.


Tiger Temple abbot to tell his story

Tiger Temple 'slaughterhouse' discovered

http://www.bangko...e/1004093/


The truth be told - behind the Tiger Temple’s walls

The origins of the Tiger Temple

Wat Pha Luang Ta Bu Yannasampanno was founded in 1994 in Sai Yok district of Kanchanaburi province. It was named after an esteemed monk, Luang Ta Bu Yannasampanno, who was abbot of Wat Ban Tad in Udonthani Province. His teachings were passed down to the present abbot, Luang Ta Chan.

Why is it called the 'Tiger Temple'?

The temple received its first tiger in 1999, and two years later the number of resident animals increased to eight. As of May 31, shortly before wildlife authorities began a relocation operation at the temple compound, it housed 147 tigers and the cubs of the Bengal and Indochinese species, allegedly bred in the temple.With a number of apparently tame tigers, as well as other animals including Asian bears, hornbills and jackals, the temple became a tourist attraction. It offered up-close and personal contact with the animals, giving visitors the chance to take photos and feed the animals in exchange for payment.

munken "The abbot of the Tiger Temple" er uskyldig!!! det var alle de andre, uha uha de slemme menige munke, ja selv de ansatte er skyldige


Representatives of the Tiger Temple abbot say he had nothing to do with alleged abuse and illegal trading of tigers -- it was temple staff.

ABBOT OF 22 YEARS DENIES KNOWING TIGER TEMPLE’S TERRIBLE SECRETS


The temple’s leader, who has run the temple since its inception in 1994, had no knowledge of any of that, the lawyer said. A wildlife official said tiger pelts were found in his room. Police say they will seek a warrant for his arrest.


In fact, the lawyer said, the abbot known locally as Luangta Chan really wanted to address the controversy but suffered a heart attack this morning just before he had the chance. Instead he had to settle for riding past reporters on the other side of a high fence.

Ja, det er uhyrligt alt det der er sket i og omkring dette tempel. -Men det er jo ikke det eneste sted.

Mon ikke "The Department of National Parks" har sovet godt i mange år (evt. modtaget "julegaver" ), men nu føler sig presset af generalerne til at få ryddet lidt op.
Så sørger de for at blæse denne historie vældigt op for at vise, at de sandelig arbejder godt for sagen.

Animal tourism under scrutiny after Tiger Temple raid.

Nu er de fine herrer indenfor politi osv. færdige med at blive fotograferet og komme i TV i anledning af deres store humane indsats, og så er deres indsats færdig.
-Men som sædvanlig er der aldrig en hujende fis som bekymrer sig om det fortsatte dyrehold. Hvor er det typisk.
De fjerner totalt grundlaget for en indkomst til indkøb af foder, og lader så bare resten af dyrene gå og sulte:o
De burde jo have fjernet hele menageriet, eller indsat en ansvarlig leder som kunne sørge for foder og pleje.

2,000 animals at Tiger Temple 'starving'


KANCHANABURI - Staff at the Tiger Temple has asked for food donations for the remaining 2,000 animals after authorities moved its tigers, leaving it with no means to raise money for their feed.

http://www.bangko...e-starving

politiet kan kun fjerne de dyr som templet holdt ulovligt

hvorfor betaler munkene i templet ikke for foder til dyrene hvor er alle pengene det var ikke småpenge de fik ind hver dag

Alle de penge står nok på en konto som kun "Budha" og tempellederen kender ((7))

Berygtet tigertempel i Thailand genåbner under nyt navn

Thailands kontroversielle Tiger Temple Co. Ltd. planlægger at genåbne under et nyt navn: Golden Tiger (Thailand) Co. Ltd. Det sker på trods af, at templet stadig er under anklage for illegal handel med vilde dyr.

Set i lyset af de forfærdelige omstændigheder og forhold for dyrene, der førte til lukningen af tigertemplet i maj 2016, er den nye udvikling ekstremt bekymrende. Derfor opfordrer vi den thailandske regering til ikke at udstede en zoo-licens til Golden Tiger (Thailand) Co. Ltd.

Golden Tiger (Thailand) Co. Ltd. er i øjeblikket i gang med at bygge et nyt sted i Kanchanaburi i Vestthailand og har allerede fået en zoo-licens til stedet af DNP. Dog er licensen betinget af, at 11 specifikke krav bliver opfyldt inden for seks måneder – herunder at der bliver lavet indhegninger til tigrene af en vis størrelse, og at tigrene bliver tilset af dyrlæger.

Desværre inkluderer kravene ikke forbud mod at avle på tigrene, eller forbud mod at turister interagerer med tigrene.

Tiger Temple Co. Ltd. efterforskes stadig af myndighederne. I 2016 overrakte vi en underskriftindsamling til DNP, hvor vi opfordrede til en grundig undersøgelse af alle steder, der holder tigre i fangenskab. Vi bad desuden om et forbud mod at avle tigre i kommercielt øjemed, da det ikke tjener til at bevare arten i naturen.

Ved at udstede en zoo-licens til Tiger Temple Co. Ltd. vil templet kunne fortsætte med deres mishandling af tigre.

Tigerfarme er kynisk forretning

Christina Abel, biolog og programmedarbejder hos World Animal Protection Danmark, siger:
"Det er meget kynisk, det som de her mennesker foretager sig. Det er meget bekymrende, at de måske kan fortsætte med at misbruge tigre ved blot at ændre navnet på deres virksomhed. Og hvis turisterne var klar over, hvilken pris tigrene betaler for deres tigerselfies, så er jeg sikker på, at de ville fravælge det. Men turisterne ser ikke bagsiden af industrien."

Dyrlæge Jan Schmidt-Burbach, vores ekspert i vilde dyr, er enig og fortæller videre:
"Tigerfarme har intet at gøre med artsbevarelse. Det er ganske enkelt mishandling af vilde dyr, der lever under forfærdelige forhold. Disse steder skal stoppes og lukkes, fordi de har klare forbindelser til de netværk, der ulovligt handler med vilde dyr."
