AN endangered tiger pregnant with two cubs was found dead in Indonesia after being caught in a pig trap. The four-year-old Sumatran tiger was found dead on Wednesday in a ravine in the Indonesian province of Riau, days after being caught the trap. The head of the local conservation agency, Suharyono, said the tiger was reportedly trapped earlier this week, escaped and was found dead about 150 metres (500 feet) from the trap. Part of the tiger’s snare wrapped around her body which consequently ruptured a kidney according to authorities. It was pregnant with a male and female cub. Suharyono, who only identifies himself by his first name, said a suspect from a village in the province of Riau who admitted to setting traps for pigs was arrested for questioning. He said: "We will cooperate with law-enforcement agencies for an investigation and to launch an operation against wild hunters and traps.” There are only about 400 Sumatran tigers left in the world, making them critically … [Read more...] about Outrage as extremely rare Sumatran tiger pregnant with two cubs is killed in pig trap

Moldovan mercenaries in the Donbass region: “It takes me five seconds to kill a man”// RISE
The armed conflict in Eastern Ukraine attracted the Moldovan mercenaries to join the war in the Donbas region. They have reached the trenches that mark the red line on the political map of the world, according to a RISE Moldova investigation. They fought in a war that doesn’t belong to them. At home, they were greeted by the Moldovan authorities, not their family. In Moldova, mercenaries are a crime, something easier rather than being hunted and considered terrorists in Ukraine. According to the Security and Information Service, around 100 Moldovans have reached separatist trenches, fighting in a war that does not belong to them. Half of them have already been identified, and less than a quarter have reached the defendants’ bench. In the Republic of Moldova, these people are condemned as mercenaries and risk up to 10 years in prison; in Ukraine – the offenses committed by them are considered terrorist activities and are punished by up to 15 years or life imprisonment. … [Read more...] about Moldovan mercenaries in the Donbass region: “It takes me five seconds to kill a man”// RISE

Deadly tiger snake slithers so far up man’s jeans it touches his “crown jewels”
A terrifying video shows a man who got himself into a "fine mess" - after a venomous snake slithered up his trouser legs. China Gibson took the profanity-filled footage, which shows the reptile's tail coming from the bottom of his jeans, in New South Wales, Australia. He used a clamp to prevent it biting him. He is heard saying: "I'm clamping it off, but he's hitting the crown jewels." Knowing a bite could be fatal, he had little choice but to take evasive action. The heartstopping clip shows Mr Gibson count to three before yanking the snake out. "F***ing Christ almight, f***ing snakes, f***ing Jesus Christ," he is heard screaming in terror after ripping it away. He then says of the snake: "He's alright, he's all safe." Mr Gibson had been repairing wire when the snake was chased by his dogs . Posting the video on Facebook yesterday, he wrote: "B***** snakes. "Be nice to them and stop killing them and they want to climb up your leg and scare the s*** out of you. "I do not know if this … [Read more...] about Deadly tiger snake slithers so far up man’s jeans it touches his “crown jewels”
