BANGKOK—Forty dead tiger cubs were found Wednesday in a freezer at a Buddhist temple that operated as an admission-charging zoo, a national parks official said. Thai DNP officers sit on a trucks at the entrance of the Wat Pha Luang Ta Bua Tiger Temple on June 1, 2016 in Kanchanaburi province, Thailand. “We don’t know why the temple decided to keep these cubs in the freezer,” Anusorn said. Wildlife authorities raided the Buddhist temple where 137 tigers were kept, following accusations the monks were illegally breeding and trafficking endangered animals. Authorities plan to file charges against the temple for illegally possessing endangered species, he said.
