| China's tiger farms much law but little justice | |
| 2011 Journal of the WildCat Conservation Legal Aid Society (5): 1-40 | |
Tigers should not be bred for trade in their parts and derivates. The 2007 statement by the international community, restating nearly fifteen years of efforts to crack down on China's Tiger farms, could not have been clearer. Despite this China's Tiger farmers have consistently breached Chinese domestic law and consistently, often deliberately, caused China to be in breach of international law. In considering these circumstances, this article seeks to understand why China's Tiger farms came into existence; looks in depth at the efforts taken by the international community in response to their establishment; and provides a potted history of China's first Tiger farm by way of an example of how such operations have consistently operated outside of both Chinese domestic law and international law. |
