JAKARTA - DKI Jakarta Governor Pramono Anung visited Ragunan Wildlife Park (TMR) to directly check the condition of the Sumatran tiger which went viral on social media. Where, a video spread showing a tiger looked thin that caused accusations that the food was brought home by Ragunan officers.
Pramono came to the tiger cage this morning. Incidentally, the tiger named Sri Deli was being fed by officers. When it was observed, it turned out that Deli currently looked healthy with a filled body.
"It turns out that this is Sri Deli. Sri Deli is now in a very healthy condition, very fat," Pramono said at the location, Thursday, November 20.
Therefore, Pramono emphasized that the accusation that the theft of some of Sumatran tiger feed so that it affects his physical condition to be thin was not true.
"So what went viral was that it was as if the feed was brought back home was not true. Again, it's not true. For the process of giving this feed, it is closely monitored and someone is specifically responsible for the feed," said Pramono.
In addition to checking Deli's condition, Pramono also checked animal feed warehouses such as meat, leaves, vegetables, and fruit. To Pramono, the manager of Ragunan Wildlife Park ensures that animal feed stocks are sufficient and not misused.
"What we are concerned about is food or feed. So I ask the Head of the Service for this to be checked continuously. Do not let what has become a viral accusation be true," said Pramono.
Regarding allegations of animal feed theft, Pramono suspects that this was deliberately revealed by irresponsible people. "We are still making improvements to Ragunan. (Video) was taken, indeed people who were not happy that Ragunan was repaired, because seriously I will make Ragunan much more interesting," he continued.
