After extensive undercover work which included wiretapping and collecting photos and videos, a gang of illegal poachers was arrested in Brazil after nearly 1000 jaguars were documented to be slaughtered by the group. Among the members of the group is a prominent dentist who participated in hundreds to thousands of illegal hunting stings. It was discovered that the group used several methods to lure the jaguars to them only to slaughter them which is blatantly cruel and malicious in intent. Using methods such as laying out rotting flesh, dogs to lure them closer, and a large pitch drum that attracts the jaguar's attention, they successfully killed so many of these beautiful cats. They were not the groups only victims however, in the three months of monitoring, eight jaguars, 13 capybaras, 10 hounds and two dead deer were documented being killed by the group.
