Thai wildlife officials made shocking discoveries at Mukda Tiger Park and farm in Mukda Province in December 2020.
They found a cut-off tiger head and other tiger carcasses, including body parts, to suppress suspected wildlife trafficking.
During the raid, five living cubs suspected of illegally stealing sports parks were also caught.
Officials said the five tigers were declared born at the facility, but DNA tests showed three of them were not related to the tigers in the park, suggesting they had been smuggled.
