Female college student Shiberi has been frequently threatened with death during her travels to Thailand.
Late one night in November 2007, a man approached Shiberi's residence and viciously threatened her to be careful: suspecting that the Tiger Temple was useless.
After 10 years, Shiberi, who was undercover investigating, finally waited for the light.
In June 2016, Thai police tore off the masks of hypocrisy at the Thai Tiger Temple in Kanchanaburi Province and rescued 137 tigers.
However, Thailand's Ministry of National Parks and Wildlife Conservation announced that 86 of these tigers had died from infectious diseases or diseases caused by inbreeding.
In addition, the police searched the Tiger Temple for countless tiger products: several tiger skins, tiger tooth carvings and various tiger bone amulets.
What is even more shocking is that more than 40 corpses of tiger cubs soaked in bottles and multiple bottles containing tiger organs were also found in the temple.
It is understood that these tiger cubs were made into bottles and cans of supplements when they were 1 year old and sold to the black market in Southeast Asia.
What does the cracking of the tiger smuggling case have to do with the female college student named Shibery?
Hiberie, An Australian wildlife specialist, is the founder of the Conservation and Environmental Education Organisation, an Australian non-profit organisation.
She grew up loving nature and wildlife.
Nature is beautiful and serene, and wild animals are free to roam, igniting her passion for protecting the environment and wildlife.
At that time, the Thai Tiger Temple was called "the best classroom for peaceful coexistence" by Time magazine in the United States.
Because the tiger is in harmony with humans under the guidance of the monks, it is plated with a layer of "Tiger Temple" golden light by tourists.
Tourists from all over the world flock to the world and spend money to get up close and personal with tigers.
Shiberi was also impressed by the "Tiger Temple".
In order to feel the harmony and beauty of nature and wildlife, he took the opportunity of his master's thesis at the University of Queensland to choose the "Thai Tiger Temple" as the research object.
One day in mid-April 2007, Shiberi arrived at the Thai Tiger Temple.
The beautiful and peaceful environment around the Taihu Temple made her feel that this trip to study was very worthwhile.
But this beautiful feeling was soon shattered by the harsh reality.
When Shibery went deep into the living environment of the tigers in the Thai Tiger Temple, she fell into sorrow:
"The cages where the tigers live are so terrifying that they are not paddocks at all, but small rusty prisons. There are many tigers in the cage, and a jaguar is kept in the iron cage at the end. ”
Iron cage? Jail? Rusty?
This is very different from the "harmony and serenity" in the report.
Hiberie had fantasized that she would arrive at a sanctuary of tranquility for tigers: a garden where tigers lived, with a trickle of natural environment in which tigers roamed naturally, no different from the wild environment.
But what she saw with her own eyes was not the case.
Shiberi thought about it for a moment, maybe the people at the Tiger Temple didn't know how to take care of tigers, because someone had told her that "I don't know anything about how to raise tigers."
Therefore, she did her best to help the people in the temple to obtain more knowledge about tiger raising.
Unexpectedly, Shibery did not get the gratitude of the Thai Tiger Temple people, but advised her not to be nosy.
All of this made Shibery feel unusually strange.
Before coming to the Thai Tiger Temple, she consulted with the foreign manager of the temple, who claimed that the tiger was not owned by the Thai Tiger Temple, but belonged to the Thai government and was not allowed to trade and breed.
If it belongs to the Thai government and is protected, why is the living environment of the tiger in the temple so poor?
Sibéry fell into deep thought.
What is the truth behind the Tiger Temple?
In the temple's bare cement lattice, a beautiful female tiger named Sangtewan most pitied Shibele.
She is taking good care of 2 4-month-old tiger cubs around her.
When Shiberi saw this scene of love, she also saw this terrible tiger temple environment, and she couldn't help but sigh.
She tried to figure out what was wrong here, but she couldn't get started.
Until the evening, there was an illegal wildlife trade in the Thai Tiger Temple.
In the summer of Taihu Temple, the heat is unbearable and the air is sweltering.
In the middle of the night, the silence of the night was broken by numerous noises and tiger roars.
Unable to sleep, Shibery got up and walked to the temple where the Sangtewan female tiger was kept during the day.
As she approached the temple, she took a flashlight and shone a picture of the tiger's iron cage, and at the same time, there were five or six flashlights at the same time, also brushing and shining on Sangtewan's cage.
Sangtewan roared angrily at first, and the voice shocked Shibery in horror.
After a while, the voice gradually became weaker until it was completely silent.
Shibery was now back, and Sangtewan was injected with a sedative.
Suddenly, several blurry figures opened the cage door, and it turned out that their target was not Sangtewan, but the two 4-month-old tiger cubs beside it.
The cub was quickly stuffed into a sack and thrown into the trunk of the truck.
Their tragic cries cut through the night sky of the Thai Tiger Temple and frightened Shibeli.
She had witnessed the darkest and dirtiest side of the temple.
Remembering all the strange things that had happened before, Shiberi determined that the "Thai Tiger Temple" was a dark place for tiger smuggling, not the "best classroom for peace and harmony".
Shibery's beautiful fantasy of the Taihu Temple was torn apart in an instant, like a bursting bubble.
Perhaps someone like Shiberi witnessed the illegal and evil deeds of the Taihu Temple with their own eyes, but there was no evidence.
She sent what she saw to the Animal Protection Society, and soon after, a conservation organization contacted Shibery.
They made a request: they wanted her to work as an undercover investigator at the Thai Tiger Temple.
A sense of justice struck, and without hesitation, Sheberi agreed.
She continued to silently collect evidence of tiger abuse and smuggling at the Taihu Temple, and in the days that followed, she encountered a scene of 1 tiger smuggling and 3 tigers disappearing.
Shipery communicated secretly with the conservation organization, which published a related report.
But the operation was unveiled and did not make any splashes.
Hibery still did not give up, continued to lurk in the Thai Tiger Temple to collect evidence, and the conservation organization should cooperate with the outside.
In November 2007, the Thai Tiger Temple received news that Shibery's undercover identity was exposed, but the conservation organization did not inform her in time.
The safety of Shibel's life was threatened.
After Shibery's undercover identity was revealed, she was threatened with death.
One day in the middle of the night in November, a man came to the Hut in Hiberissonry.
At that time, Shibery was alone and was very scared.
She calculated that the only weapons she could use for self-defense were "an anti-mosquito spray and a lighter."
If she is attacked, she will have to fight with these weapons.
Fortunately, where Shibery lived, there were voices about 200 meters away.
She pretended not to understand the male language, and waited for the opportunity to leave the forest hut and walk towards the place where there was light and crowds.
The man followed all the way, and Shibery sped up.
It wasn't until she rushed into the place where there were people that she relaxed her mind slightly.
The man, glaring at Shibel a few times, walked away.
Shibery escaped.
The day after being threatened with death by the male staff, Shiberi still appeared at the Thai Tiger Temple, just like no one else.
She stood in the paddock where 2 tigers were kept in captivity and cleaned up with 4 temple staff.
Unexpectedly, the man who threatened her last night found her.
The man also let the other staff out and quietly came to the cage, where he provoked a female tiger in the paddock and locked Hiberie and two tigers in a cage.
According to later recollections, Shibery still had palpitations.
Fortunately, the tiger in the cage did not attack her, and after some effort, she finally squeezed out of the cage gap.
Hibery escaped again.
After a while, the conservation organization finally contacted Shiberi again and informed her to leave the Thai Tiger Temple quickly, and the identity of the undercover was known.
Hiberie tried to calm herself down, but decided to gather the courage to gather the information she wanted.
This time, she prepared a tape recorder.
However, the man still threatened: be careful of being killed by his car while riding a motorcycle.
Unbeknownst to Himbel at the time, the man had secretly nearly killed a temple employee with whom he did not get along well.
At this time, she realized that the Taihu Temple was really not suitable for long.
Seaberry began to prepare for the journey back to Australia, but in the process of fleeing, she was followed by others almost every day.
Only by running into the embassy can you get rid of those people.
I thought that when I returned to Australia, Seaberry would be free from threats.
But those people did not let her go.
She often received terrorist threat letters mailed by people associated with the Tiger Temple, and in order to avoid these people, Hibery had to move twice.
These threats, like wandering spirits, continued to haunt Shiberi.
However, it is precisely because of these threats that Shiberi's determination to continue the investigation has strengthened.
Thinking about it again and again, in the following years, she disguised herself many times and tried her best to return to the Thai Tiger Temple to collect evidence.
As a result, In the next 10 years, Seaberry received thousands of threats.
Insults, insults, death warnings... And so on.
According to Shiberi's feedback, in addition to the threats she encountered, many volunteers who went to the Thai Tiger Temple also had the same experience.
Insist on no effort at all.
Shiberi, who took the threatened letters as evidence, wrote them in the Thai Tiger Temple Report, which she had created as a "Conservation and Environmental Education Organization" and submitted to Thailand's official.
In addition, she submitted the report to the Thai authorities.
The report was not made public at the time because police were still investigating.
"Despite all the threats, nothing stopped me from helping the tigers."
Although the false mask of the Thai Tiger Temple could not be taken off immediately, Shibery's 10 years of efforts have gradually revealed the vicious face of the illegal smuggling of wild animals.
Skynet was restored, neglected but not leaked.
In June 2016, Thai police dispatched nearly a thousand police officers and veterinarians to carry out a raid on the Thai Tiger Temple.
Taihu Temple's illegal captivity, hunting, smuggling of wild animals and other crimes are implemented.
Local authorities also stepped in to investigate and found the carcasses of 40 tiger cubs.
There were also hundreds of guns and ammunition used for illegal poaching, and many bottles and cans were searched in another room in the temple.
The jars are soaked with tissue from tiger organs and indicate the age and weight of the tiger.
According to the investigation, these soaked tiger organs are called "magic medicines" and can cure all diseases.
According to wildlife conservation international, the Thai Tiger Temple conducts illegal trade with Laos through tiger farms.
The Thai Tiger Temple, through the tiger performance, has an annual income of up to 5 million US dollars, and also holds the "Tiger Temple" Buddha light, accepting donations of tens of millions of baht from foreign tourists.
This evil industrial chain has also led to the economy of the surrounding villages.
Driven by interests, many villagers helped Tiger Temple to enter the mountains to find tigers and contact smuggling business.
These villagers are all accomplices.
And those tigers were meek and not fierce, because they were fed medicine and anesthetics, not because they were indoctrinated by monks.
The Taihu Temple uses kindness, uses media, packages criminal evil deeds, and disregards the life and freedom of 137 wild animals for the sake of huge profits.
It is reported that the immune system of the rescued tigers has failed, and even if they are treated, it is too late: 83 tigers have lost their lives.
Kindness should never be treated as a business.
Man should not take advantage of kindness to indulge in greed and covet the value of wild animals.
People and animals really live in harmony, not to do superficial work, nor to hunt each other, but to have their own worlds and not interfere with each other. Text/Miss Y
