RESTAURANT FINED FOR DISH LACED WITH TIGER URINE
RESTAURANT FINED FOR DISH LACED WITH TIGER URINE
------------------------------------------------ SHANGHAI - A restaurant in northeastern China that advertised illegal tiger meat dishes was found instead to be selling donkey flesh - marinated in tiger urine, a newspaper reported yesterday. The Hufulou restaurant, located beside the Hengdaohezi Siberian Tiger Park near the city of Hailin, had advertised stir-fried tiger meat with hot peppers for 800 yuan ($166), as well as liquor flavoured with tiger bone for 600 yuan a bottle, the China Daily reported. Raw meat was priced at 7,000 yuan ($1,451) per kilogram. The sale of tiger parts is illegal in China and officers shut down the restaurant, only to be told by owner Ma Shikun that the meat was actually that of donkeys, flavoured with tiger urine to give the dish a "special" flavour, the newspaper said. The report didn't say how the urine was obtained. Authorities confiscated the restaurant's profits and fined Ma 2,400 yuan, the newspaper reported. The eatery was closed for inspection, the report said. Ma had initially claimed that the meat came from dead tigers sold to him by the management of the Hengdaohezi reserve, but later changed his story, the report said. The Hengdaohezi tiger reserve is China's largest breeding centre for the big cat and its director, Mr Wang Ligang, said "it is impossible for the meat of dead tigers from the park to be smuggled outside". - AFP- --- Like the man said when he backed into the stove... "That's a hot one!" www.cafepress.com/dwacon |
