Two farmers have been sentenced to prison terms of up to nine years for eating a rare Manchurian tiger after leaving it to die in a trap, the Beijing Evening News reported.
A court in the northeastern province of Heilongjiang convicted Zhang Lichen and Gong Weisheng of killing an endangered species, the paper said.
The men found the tiger in a trap but did not tell authorities. They left it to die, and returned six days later to bring the beast home, skin it and eat its meat.
