The images are disturbing.

 

On the parched ground, many elephants lie crumpled, their tusks removed, their trunks just bloody stumps where they have been sawed off.

 

A live tiger is strung upside down in a cage, hanging by his spread-eagled limbs, while people peered between the bars, gawking.

 

Deep in the woods, a bear cub, who had scrambled up a tree to get away from poachers, was shot four times with arrows�

 

These scenes weren�t made-in-Hollywood horror stories, but are all too real - some of it happening right here in BC, according to animal conservationist Anthony Marr� who was in Courtenay Thursday evening�
