These gruesome pictures show the inside of an illegal tiger farm in the Czech Republic where big cats were butchered before being boiled down to be turned into stock cubes.
Inspectors found a freshly killed tiger and an unplugged freezer stuffed full of rotting remains when they raided the facility in the capital, Prague.
They found a large cooking pot filled with meat and bones while valuable pelts were also stashed in the house.
Investigators say tigers were being killed, chopped up and cooked down. Through surveillance, they found that tiger bones turned into stock cubes were worth up to £52 per gram - the equivalent of £1,472 per ounce.
Claws, meanwhile were said to be worth nearly £90 each and pelts worth up to £3,500.

According to the Guardian, officers who carried out the raid after a five-year probe, found demand for traditional medicine containing tiger products was driven in part by the Vietnamese population.
Some of that demand came from within a Czech-Vietnamese community which emerged when workers arrived from the South East Asian country during Czechoslovakia's communist era.
At the time of the raid this summer, Robert Šlachta from the Customs Directorate, said: 'The tiger we discovered was shot in the eye and in the neck, so that the skin would stay intact and could be sold on the black market.
'According to our information, the cooking of the tiger meat took five to twelve days and all parts of the animal, including the pelts, teeth or claws, were intended for commercial purposes.'
Investigators say they picked up the trail of evidence in 2013 when tiger bones were discovered in a Vietnamese man's vehicle having received them from a breeding unit in Slovakia.

Further products were found to have come from the Czech Republic and the trail eventually led to a member of a circus family known to breed tigers and lions.
Investigators say he was taking them to a taxidermist who, together with another suspect, would cut up and cook the tigers at his property.
Surveillance operations then revealed the amount of money the gang stood to make from selling the processed animals.
Three men have been charged with offences relating to the illegal killing and trade of protected species, the Guardian reports.
According to Radio Prague, Erik Geuss, from the the Czech Environmental Inspectorate, said illegal trade in tigers had become a growing problem in the country.

'In recent years, we have observed an increase in the illegal export of tigers and other felines from the Czech Republic.
'This is because there is quite a large Asian community living in the Czech Republic and there is a substantial demand for tiger products in that region.
'There are currently around 400 tigers registered by CITES in the Czech Republic but only around 40 of them live in zoological gardens.
'And while tigers kept in zoos live to around the age of 20, those kept by private breeders only live around five years.'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
