Try and explain to the Zoo vet that, "Oh I just shot it and then later on found it dead and squashed on the road and then brought its head here to check out what animal it is." and see what responce you would get.
One would reasonably expect that a recently killed Tiger body part had come from overseas and that would make it an illegal import. What Zoo vet would risk not reporting what would reasonably be considered to be an illegal act?
As for proof I would imagine that it would be up to the shooter to prove where he got the head rather then the police to prove that he imported it, afterall there is no proof (to date) that tigers roam around the Australian bush.
You Queenslanders just love winding up us southerners don't you? :angel:
Next thing you will be telling us that Ducati's are better learner bikes than a mighty Hyosung!!! ;)
