Amur Tiger in Russia

The number of Amur tigers in the East of Russia has increased significantly since the protection program was launched 15 years ago. And apparently the tiger protection program is bearing fruit. There are really a lot of tigers in the Amur region and Primorsky Krai, and it is necessary to regulate their number. Currently, residents of Primorsky Krai have asked local governments and Russian President Vladimir Putin to clarify the situation around the dangerous Amur tiger, which is beginning to pose a threat to the inhabitants of the entire Far East. Residents say that they need protection from breeding and daring animals, which no one can offer them. Animals, which have long been more than 700 people, are increasingly acting boldly and attacking dogs and cows. There were also cases of attacks on people. In addition to the letter, the president and governor also received video messages from residents confirming their willingness to go all the way until the situation is more or less successfully resolved. Residents also defended their colleagues from the direct threat of being killed by a amur tiger, resented the incident with the inspector who shot the animal, after which a criminal case was opened. After killing 2 dogs in the village, the Amur tiger climbed to the roof of 1 of the hut and looked down at the hunting service, which arrived for his capture, called by excited residents and when one of the experts approached, the tiger jumped on the man and knocked to the ground, and the 2nd hunter literally saved the life of his colleague by shooting the beast with a rifle. The Governor of Primorsky Krai has already held a special meeting on the Amur tiger problem. He said: "We must not forget that the Amur tiger is a specially protected species and, on behalf of President Vladimir Putin, work is underway to preserve these unique predators. Let me remind you that based on scientific research and the experience of our population, humans are not hunted by this wild animal, the Amur tiger. At this council, I propose to consider specific issues and decisions that can be taken to ensure the safety of citizens in conflict situations with the Amur tiger, to prepare an appeal to the Ministry of Natural Resources of the Russian Federation, and a proposal to develop a clear methodology for dealing with conflict situations with tigers. The priority of human safety is first and foremost, but it is also necessary to carry out biotechnological measures to create a food base in those hunting farms and national parks where the Amur tiger can live." https://m.uh.app/news/963534d0-d121-11ef-9f14-dde0bbf4cc1c
