A dead tigress was found by border guards in a snare south of Slavianka in Khasan. It was inside the border zone, some 2-3 km behind the fence that runs parallel to the Chinese border. About 15 snares had been placed along two 40 m long trails that went up a slope. The tigress had ended up in a snare close to the top of the slope where both trails met. She had probably been dead for three weeks. A team of Inspection Tiger transported the tigress to their base. The body will be examined. (Pictures taken on Nov 19, 2004)
