Captive tigers in China are being kept in appalling conditions in order to produce the aphrodisiac known as "tiger wine" for Chinese men, according to animal rights activists. 
It's technically illegal in the country to breed the big cats in captivity, however, an exception allows tiger farms to do so if they are professedly in place to deter poaching, reports RT.
Animal rights activists say it's all just smoke and mirrors--that the farms are intentionally starving the tigers to death for profit.
