In Vietnam, products made of tiger body parts, including bone paste, are believed to have medicinal properties though it is illegal to hunt, kill or trade the animal or advertise products made from its body parts.
The paste is made by boiling the bones for 24 hours until they attain a glue-like consistency. It is used to treat joint problems and believed to improve sexual performance.
Spread the word and stop this.
