New Delhi, October 04: The Supreme Court today expressed concern over declining population of tigers and lashed out at notorious poacher Sansar Chand, who has been convicted for trading animal’s body parts, saying a day would come soon when human skin will be traded for commercial purposes.
“You are selling the skin of tigers and leopards.
Tomorrow, you would sell even human skin. In this way, the population of tigers and leopards would be wiped out in the country. There would be no tiger left in Sariska,” a bench of Justices Markandey Katju and T S Thakur said while dealing with the appeal of Chand.
The apex court rejected the arguments of his counsel that he was not involved in poaching.
“You are all interested in money. You want only money.
Everything in the country is commercial.
