Drone & Tigers

The video of about a dozen hefty Siberian tigers chasing and batting a flying drone from the sky seemed a lighthearted reprieve from the more serious news of the day. But since sharing the footage, we've become aware that it may conceal a darker story.

Vice's Motherboard notes that the Harbin Siberian Tiger Park in China's Heilongjiang province, where the drone video was filmed, has a past that belies its billing on travel sites as a "natural park for wild Siberian tigers." The Washington Post, drawing on its 2015 investigation, reports the state-run park is a tiger farm that has been implicated in the tiger bone and wine trade, which was banned by China in 1993.
