A barbaric Chinese businessman who electrocuted and ate three tigers has been jailed 13 years.
Known by his surname Xu, the sick Chinese property developer grilled tiger bones, boned their paws, stored tiger penis, ate the beasts meat and drank tiger-blood alcohol.
He was said to have organised three trips to the Southern province of Guangdong last year to buy the tigers, which he transported to his home region of Guangxi.
Xu and his accomplices witnessed the killing of the tigers by the sellers, one of which was said to have been killed by an electric shock.
He was arrested when one of the deals was recorded by someone nearby who reported to the police.
Xu was originally sentenced in April, he appealed against the judgement but his appeal was rejected by the court.
Tiger meat is believed by some Chinese to have health giving properties and work as an aphrodisiac.
China is home to tigers, mainly in the remote northwest but their numbers have shrunk drastically due to poaching.
