Tiger cub in luggage bound for Iran

Sedated, hidden with cuddly toys

AFP: A two-month-old tiger cub was discovered hidden with a stuffed tiger toys in the baggage of a woman heading to Iran from Thailand, wildlife protection officials said Friday. The 31-year-old Thai woman, who has not been named, was arrested on Sunday night after the tiger was spotted by X-ray staff in overweight luggage destined for the cargo hold. An official from the Wild Fauna and Flora Protection Division said the cub was drugged and placed in the bag with the toys -- apparently to make it appear as if it were a stuffed animal >>>

She is welling to risk it for $3000 and then go to jail. People can't pay for food but somebody in Iran welling to pay for this poor animal, and to do what I don't know.

I wish I could shove one of those Mullah in that suit case with Khomeini picture next to him and through it in to that hell hole Emam Zaman is.

Fyi the perpetrator was Thai, not Iranian.  I wish I was  there to hear her explanation to the police! LOL

I know its not funny, but it sounds like a 3 year old planned this heist.  Who hasn't heard of x-ray machines at airports?

Did you guys hear the story about the Iranian guy who put his wife in a suitcase and shipped her to the US?

Apart from stoning women, we Iranians have animal cruelty to boot!

Mind you,  when the tiger grows up it is always welcome to visit Iran and feed on a Mullah.

It is very sad and heart breaking. Animals must have the same right that people have. They must not be used as toy or entertainment. They feel pain just like us. It is shamefull. I hope this women pay her price of puting this beautiful creature throuh so much pain.
