A day earlier, the governor of Primorye, Oleg Kozhemyako, warned local residents that the number of tigers entering populated areas in the region had increased. In addition, according to the head of the region, there are known cases of tigers attacking domestic animals and livestock.
“The reason, according to experts, is a sharp reduction in the number of wild boars due to the African swine fever epidemic. In such conditions, tigers look for food by going out into populated areas,” Kozhemyako explained.
In this regard, he promised to increase the number of hunting inspectors working in the region and provide them with the necessary equipment. “I instructed to strengthen the work on feeding ungulates in game farms, nature reserves and other protected areas. An increase in the number of deer, roe deer and wild boars is the key to a stable food supply for the predator,” the governor said.
