Tiger killed, eaten by villagers in Arunachal Pradesh

A full grown Royal Bengal Tiger was hunted down by villagers of Numuk in Arunachal Pradesh's
West Siang district.

Villagers gathered around the tiger after the kill. The meat was then consumed by the people but even more disturbing is the information of a possible wild life trade racket flourishing in that area.

The skin of the tiger was allegedly sold to a certain businessman from Assam for 1.5 lakh rupees.

In the last one year this is the third incident of tiger hunting in the area but the first time that there was photographic evidence.
