"We found a whole lot more," McBride said. Agents first found a 4-month-old tiger tethered to a pole and a 7-month-old confined to a four-foot (1.2 meter)-square cage.

A search of the attic, where agents heard noises, yielded a litter of seven tiger cubs and two leopard cubs, all less than two weeks old.

But the yard was most disturbing to agents, who found carcasses of at least 30 animals, including the skeleton of one big cat sharing a cage with a live burro, McBride said. Inside three freezers were the frozen bodies of 58 cubs, and the bodies of numerous animals in various states of decomposition.

"I left there in tears," she said. Hedren said tiger body parts are prized in Asia as aphrodisiacs and can bring up to $40,000 per tiger.

Yeah, it's scary what some people will do for the sake of status symbols or whatever.

Though people who do this stuff are usually disturbed. I mean, literally, classifiably disturbed.

That man inspires my deepest loathing. Yet another reason to hate rich people.

Its amazing what riches will lead a person to do. We all would like to be rich, but at what cost?

They had a child in there too ( I am assuming theirs?) that was taken to child protective services. How low can a person go?

They say that the cat bodies were being kept for later examinations on cause of death, but really they were breeding exotic cats to sell their parts.

And the worst part is they took 'retired' performance animals and claimed to give them a good home to end their days...so basically, the good home you just sent 'grandma' to, sold her for spare parts as...aphrodisiacs

Hypocrites. Loath the suffering and destruction of one animal but condone the same to another. Have you eaten YOUR McDonalds cheese burger today?

Mercilessly slaughter up cows left and right but tigers, OH NO, can't have that! Cause tigers are "cute" and cows aren't.

The only REAL argument I can see here is the fact that if they're endangered we kill them off completely, however with the ever growing advances in genetic engineering, it's only matter of time before that becomes a moot point.

Cows are raised to be killed and are killed humanely. Tigers are not raised to be killed as far as I can tell. They're on different grounds. While true, they are both animals and both live lives, one is grown to be used for consumption and one isn't. Simple as that.

So if we start raising tigers to be used for consumption then it becomes okay?

Your logic is HORRIBLY frightening, I just want you to know that.

I suddenly remember some guy by the name of Swift. o_O
