Chinese Conservationists Call for Release of Wild Siberian Tiger
The predator had entered a village in northeastern China and injured a woman before being captured.
A wild Siberian tiger that frightened locals in the northeastern Heilongjiang province last week has been captured, but conservationists say the big cat should be released as soon as possible.
Song Dazhao, a conservationist and the founder of Chinese Felid Conservation Alliance, told Sixth Tone that long-term captivity for the male tiger might alter his habits and potentially exacerbate human-wildlife conflicts. Song urged the relevant authorities to find a wild habitat suitable for releasing the wild animal as soon as possible following proper evaluations.
