Big Cat Killer Caught
Discussion
Do we have a thread on wildlife protection?
I would have shot him on sight, as I would very much like to with Walter Palmer.
Very pleased they kept looking.

What's equally disgusting is breeding tigers to make wine. I'd have fed him and his contacts to a tiger.
Making wine out of tigers? What if he was wearing glasses that day instead of contacts?Edit: Okay - it's a kind of wine but with ground up tiger bones in it. And in which country would you expect such a thing to be a thing? You guessed it - Chay-na.

He looks good for someone in their fifties, seems like he's just the fall guy.

Recounting his experience, Habib said, "I relied on the Sundarbans as my only source of income, as there is little opportunity to make money here by other means. I actually stopped hunting deer after a few years over fear of the law enforcers, but I later resumed poaching.
"Aside from the poaching gang I used to work with, there are at least 20-25 other such parties operating in this forest. I got caught because they conspired against me. Kingpins behind this illegal trade have ties with forest department officials, and this is why they remain out of the law's reach."
Commenting on the matter, Save the Sundarbans Foundation's Chairman Dr Sheikh Faridul Islam said, "The law sometimes catches poachers such as Habib, but they become free again after some time exploiting the legal system.
"The ringleaders perpetrating such illicit activities continue to work in the shadows. They are smuggling tiger hides, bones, and teeth out of the country and making a hefty profit in the process. People like Habib have nearly wiped out tigers from Sundarbans, but we see no action against those facilitating the poaching."
An incarcerated Habib told The Business Standard that he has a vendetta against tigers, because a tiger attacked him near the Chandpai range in the forest. He barely escaped with his life, and then became motivated to kill as many as he can.

I saw an undercover documentary. Hunting the traffickers, BBC 2. Buyers can watch the tiger being killed for a price. They breed thousands of them.
