(Baonghean.vn) - On June 1, the Thai wildlife agency discovered 40 dead tiger cubs at the famous Tiger Temple in Thailand. Before being suspected of being involved in a wildlife trafficking and abuse ring, the temple was an attractive destination, always attracting tourists to visit and explore.

Tiger Temple is located in Kanchanaburi province, west of Bangkok. The temple is famous for keeping dozens of tigers on the temple grounds. |
 |
Here, the monks in the temple take care of the tigers like their close friends. |
 |
In addition to the monks in the temple, many volunteers regularly come here to take care of and play with the tigers. |
 |
In addition to being carefully cared for, the tigers at Ong Ho Temple are also thoroughly trained to turn this place into an attractive tourist destination in Thailand. |
 |
Many foreign tourists come here to visit the temple and play with the tigers. |
 |
However, starting from May 30, the Thai government officially started a campaign to arrest wildlife trafficking rings. Therefore, the tigers at Ong Ho Temple were transported out of the temple to places under state control. |
 |
The tigers at the temple have to be sedated during transport to avoid possible accidents. |
 |
As of June 1, 40 dead tiger cubs were found in the temple’s freezer. The monks at the temple have not yet commented on the incident. |
