Thanks for the info.

That is a lot of tigers to lose which cannot be replaced.

I trust all zoos in Vietnam are aware of this.

@Aidan in HCMC It comes from a news network in Australia. I'd believe it just as much as they were reassuring everyone that no-one will die from a Covid injection.

I also first heard about it from one of the VN outlets, not sure if, but I think was when I tried to find what the local media had to report about the conflict in the middle east after the Mullahs fired a few balistic rockets after the Hizballah bloke got sent off to meet his 70+ virgins. Besides the tigers, I remember some news abt a high VN official meeting their counterparts in Irland though. Well, Israel, Iran, Irland, all sound so similar, probably it was to avoid causing confusion among the locals. Couldn't seem to find much, but try your self.

I do however know that it is the East Sea, or is it the East Vietnam Sea? Hmm bit I know for sure that it isn't the South China Sea!

Gotta love the VN Media!
