EXCERPTS: A state-affiliated wildlife shelter in China has been accused of secretly dissecting the bodies of endangered tigers before selling them as products to make profits.

Some wild animals rescued by the centre were said to be killed just to be made into specimens.

The organisation allegedly lied to the authorities about disposing the centre's dead wild animals before turning the corpses into products for sale. The animals' fur was sold up to 700,000 yuan (£78,827) per piece. Ren Jingde, the centre's deputy director, is said to have ordered workers to secretly dissect dead Siberian tigers, an endangered species with only about 500 left in the wild. Their bones were allegedly used to brew the 'tiger bone wine', a Chinese traditional tonic that believers say makes you stronger and peps up your sex life, a claim without any scientific evidence...
