An undercover investigation has revealed the continued trade in tiger skins in China.

Covert filming by the Environment Investigation Agency shows traders selling skins of tigers and other rare animals such as snow leopards.

The skins are sold as luxury items and are used for clothes and home decor.

The campaigning group has published its investigation a few days before an international summit on big cat conservation in Kathmandu, Nepal.


I am really sickened and saddened by this... I had thought that this kind of thing didn't happen anymore (or at least not on that kind of scale!) Don't these people realise that the beautiful animals they are killing rapidly becoming extinct... or do they just not care... if they are going to kill an animal like this they should do it with the weapons that nature gave them... see just who wins the fight that time!!

I couldn't even watch the videos... just seeing the skins hanging there made me feel sick and incredibly angry!
