A headless cow carcass has been found at Felda Ulu Tebrau in Johor, believed to have been caused by a wild tiger attack.
This was further corroborated by the spotting of tiger footprints at an oil plantation in the area by the Department of Wildlife Protection and National Parks (Perhilitan).
As reported by BERNAMA, Johor Perhilitan director Aminuddin Jamin said the finding was following the inspections and monitoring being carried out by the department. He asserted,
“Based on the initial inspection, the traces (found were tigers), but the investigation is still ongoing. We will install camera traps (to detect the presence of wild animals) soon. However, we need to remove camera traps in other areas first,”
The public is advised to not make any provocative actions if they come across wildlife and urgently report the encounter to Perhilitan.
Meanwhile, Puteri Wangsa Assemblyman Amira Aisya Abd Aziz took to Facebook to advise locals to prioritise their safety and that she had been in contact with the Felda Ulu Tebrau manager.
Moreover, locals are also encouraged to not enter the plantation for the time being and if they have to, make sure to go in pairs or groups.
