Ussuri tiger – All 19

News

Tiger hunting is the capture and killing of tigers. Humans are the tigers' most significant predator, and illegal poaching is a major threat to the tigers. The Bengal tiger is the most common subspecies of tiger, constituting approximately 80% of the entire tiger population in Indian Sub-Continent, and is endemic to Bangladesh, Bhutan, Myanmar, Nepal, and India. Tigers have mythological, cultural and religious significance in these countries. Foreign invaders saw hunting of Tigers as a symbol of masculinity and an adventurous sporting event. It has been hunted in these countries for centuries. In 1924, the Tiger population in Asia was estimated to be more than 100,000. However, within less than a hundred years, it had declined to fewer than 3,200. Tiger has historically been a popular big game animal and has been hunted for prestige as well as for taking trophies. Extensive poaching has continued even after such hunting became illegal and legal protection was provided to the tiger. Now a conservation-reliant endangered species, the majority of the world's tigers live in captivity. Tigers were once considered to be harder to hunt than lions, due to their habit of living alone in dense cover and not noisily asserting their presence with roars as often.

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

Tiger Dog Hunter Is Released. Watch the video. An impressive video of the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment releasing Amur tiger recently captured in the Khasansky district, which devoured a bunch of dogs there. Look how big he is, he's kicked his sides pretty well on the dogs. It was taken far away and released on the border of Khabarovsk and Primorsky Territories. Since the beginning of 2025, a large number of cases of Amur tiger attacks on domestic animals have been recorded in Primorsky Krai (Eastern Russia).

Hunters could not be involved in the capture of the killer tiger. Amur tigers in Russia are under special protection, including under the personal protection of President Vladimir Putin. The Amur tiger is the ruler of vast territories, the area of which is 300-500 km2 for the female and 600-800 km2 for the male. If there is enough food within its territory, then the tiger does not leave its territory. When there is a shortage of game, the number of tiger attacks on livestock and dogs increases. The fact that five conflict tigers are being captured in the south of Primorye became known at the end of December 2024. The predators went out to the settlements of Primorsky, Andreevka, Barabash, Filippovka and attacked pets. In the vicinity of the village of Filippovka, Khasansky municipal District, employees of the Primorsky Hunting Supervision, with the support of employees of the Land of the Leopard National Park, captured a conflicted Amur tiger that frightened local residents and attacked pets. This was reported by the press service of the Ministry of Nature of Primorsky Krai. The Ministry of Nature of Primorsky Krai reported that in 2024 more than 200 cases of Amur tiger attacks on domestic animals were registered. The main causes of conflict situations were the increased population of Amur tigers and neglected grazing of farm animals and chained dogs in unfenced areas, which provokes the release of tigers into populated areas. The Amur tiger belongs to the largest subspecies. The coat is thicker than that of tigers living in warmer areas, and its color is lighter. The main coat color in winter is orange, and the belly is white. The Amur tiger belongs to the largest subspecies. The coat is thicker than that of tigers living in warmer areas, and its color is lighter. The average weight range of Amur tigers is 200-330 kg. The total length of males is 270-330 cm, and that of females is 240-275 cm. This is the only subspecies of tiger, whose representatives have a five-centimeter layer of fat on their belly, protecting them from the freezing wind at extremely low temperatures. The Amur tiger is the most dangerous predator in the Russian Far East. As a rule, human encounters with a tiger end tragically.
