China criticised for 'tiger wine'

A recent poll declared the tiger the world's most popular animal
China has come under fire for allowing tigers to be bred for the production of so-called "tiger bone wine".
The drink is reportedly made by steeping tiger carcasses in rice wine. Those who drink the wine believe it makes them strong.

Chinese delegates at the International Tiger Symposium in Nepal are arguing for the lifting of a current ban on the trade in tiger bones and skins.

But other Asian nations with threatened tiger populations want the ban to stay.
