We're all familiarwith the illegal poaching of
endangered animals in the wild.
1:38:27
But never before has an animal incaptivity been slaughtered for its pelt.
1:38:32
Animal protection groupsthat monitor the international
trade and game contraband...
1:38:36
have further told us thata white Siberian tiger is so rare...
1:38:40
that the offer of a peltwould surely draw the attention
of law enforcement agencies.
1:38:44
Shortly before dawnthis morning...
1:38:46
security staff at London Zoodiscovered the excoriated carcass...
1:38:50
of its prized three year-oldfemale Siberian tiger, Sue Ling.
1:38:55
Police sources have suggestedthat the killing was contracted
by a private collector.
1:38:59
Oh, isn't that horrible?Who'd do a thing like that?
1:39:02
...into the urbanzoological park...
1:39:04
we must ask ourselvesif any animal in the world is safe.
1:39:09
This is Tim Ryan,reporting from London Zoo.
1:39:50
