A federal judge sentenced a New York man to nine months in prison Wednesday for trafficking in endangered African lion and tiger parts.
Arongkron Malasukum pleaded guilty to charges of buying lion and tiger skulls, claws and other parts from undercover federal agents and shipping them to a buyer in Thailand.
The Justice Department says the bones and other parts were worth more than $150,000.
"Those who scheme and plot to criminally profit from the exploitation of these creatures will be brought to justice," Acting Assistant Attorney General Jeffrey Wood said.
联邦法官星期三判处一名纽约男子9个月监禁,罪名是贩卖濒临灭绝的非洲狮和老虎的身体部位。
马拉素库姆被指控从卧底联邦特工手中购买狮子和老虎的头骨、爪和其它部位,然后运给泰国的一位买家。马拉素库姆承认有罪。
美国司法部说,这些狮子和老虎的骨头和其它部位的价值至少15万美元。
司法部代理助理部长伍德说,计划并策划利用这些动物身体部位并通过贩卖从中获利是犯罪行为。这些人将被绳之以法。
