A British media investigation has revealed the illegal sale of endangered animals and their parts on a social media platform.
The items on offer include live animals, tiger bones and teeth, shark fins, and pangolin scales.
One user posted videos of a tiger in a cage for sale, along with photos of tiger bones and teeth, while another displayed two tiger cubs inside a box.
Other images showed a tiger head and piles of bones on scales for sale.
One seller indicated that their products "can be shipped to the UK," noting that a 10 cm-long tooth is priced at 2,000 Chinese yuan (about 310 USD), and tiger bones at 3,600 yuan per kilogram (about 560 USD).
Another seller offered shark fins, claiming they could be shipped from the United States to the United Kingdom at 50 USD per kilogram.
The trade of endangered species such as tigers and pangolins is illegal in the UK.
