JAKARTA - A total of four buffalo and two dogs belonging to a resident of Jorong Aia Taganang, Nagari Matua Hilia, Matur District, Agam Regency, West Sumatra are suspected of being attacked by a Sumatran tiger (Panthera tigris sumatrae). It is strongly suspected that protected animals are still roaming the area.
Matur sub-district head Subhan said the three-year-old and one-year-old buffalo that were attacked by protected animals belonged to Basri Sutan Marajo (50).
"The two calves were devoured on Saturday, resulting in injuries to their left legs and have received treatment from animal health officials," he said in Lubukbasung, Antara, Thursday, August 25.
He said that the animals protected by Law Number 5 of 1990 concerning Conservation of Biological Natural Resources and Their Ecosystems also attacked two dogs belonging to AP (25) and Eri (30).
As a result, the two dogs died at the scene and tiger footprints were found there. "Tiger footprints are around residential areas and people are afraid of being attacked by the tiger," he said.
He added that the Sumatran tiger also made a roaring sound on Thursday, August 25 morning, so that residents did not dare to do activities in the garden. With this condition, he has reported to the Natural Resources Conservation Center (BKSDA) of West Sumatra, to immediately deal with this human-wildlife conflict.
"I have reported this incident to the West Sumatra BKSDA and hope it will be handled immediately so that there are no victims," he said.
He appealed to residents to increase vigilance by not leaving the house alone at night, holding livestock and others.
The appeal was immediately conveyed when he visited the location where the residents' livestock were attacked by the tiger. Meanwhile, the guardian of Jorong Aia Taganang, Mustahidus Syahri, added that residents had caged their livestock near their homes.
"Usually residents graze their livestock in the garden at night and now they have been brought to their homes," he said.
He admitted that the Sumatran tiger's footprints had been found by residents in March 2022 and did not attack livestock.
However, this incident attacked the residents' livestock for the first time in the area and may be the result of other things, such as the loss of the animal's habitat.
"This Sumatran tiger attack is the first incident and previously only footprints were found," he said.
