Handling
Leopard
Running from Lembang Park and Zoo to the Tangkuban Parahu Mountain Region, West Bandung Regency, West Java, was urged more seriously and carried out as soon as possible.
Taman Safari Indonesia (TSI), one of the animal conservation agencies, requested that the handling of the problem should not be played.
“This is not an easy thing and not a risk without risk, so it cannot play around this,” said TSI Sumnent Tsi Management Board member, as reported by
Between
, Wednesday (3/9).
Because, according to him, the area of Mount Tangkuban Parahu has quite a lot of residents and has become a leading tourist destination in West Java.He was worried that the leopard who had escaped had the potential for animal conflict with humans again.
This is also dangerous for young children and livestock, although the area can actually be suitable as a leopard habitat.
He explained that the danger could also increase if the young leopard was apparently experiencing psychological disorders due to various factors, including excessive stress levels.
“Leopards are camouflage animals, five meters can be invisible. For example if he is psychologically disturbed, he wants to be seen again can be seen again, can come again to the village looking for food,” he explained.
He said, the community could secure their village from the threat of leopard entry through promoting Siskamling with a group of five or more people to be able to dispel the animals back to the forest.
Regarding the psychological leopard that is unstable, he said this could increase the danger to the team who tried to secure the animal.
He added, such as the commonly used equipment, namely “Blow Pipe” to anesthetize animals with a maximum limit used within a radius of no more than 10 meters, most likely could fail because the tiger ran or even attacking because he felt pressured.
John explained that various aspects of standard handling need to be considered by various parties, because this incident will be a world concern related to the handling of protected animals.
“If the life of the wildlife is lost, our name is ugly in the world, because the world will highlight us, and if we lose the lives of officers also not funny. Because this cannot be played,” he said.
He said he said readiness if at any time asked for assistance to handle this incident, considering that several times had been involved in saving leopards in several regions.
Equipment owned, especially in TSI, is fairly ready with a trap cage, transport cage, long -distance anesthetic, and human resources, such as keeper, veterinarians, and experienced animal medical teams.
“We are always open if our energy and experience has been needed by various parties in saving these protected animals. Because of that, we cannot play around,” he said.
The West Java Natural Resources Conservation Center (BBKSDA) stated that the leopard who escaped the quarantine cage in Lembang Park and Zoo, West Bandung Regency, allegedly leading to the Mount Tangkuban Parahu Mountain area.
Head of West Java BBKSDA Agus Arianto said the allegation was based on the findings of the footprint of animals found by the search team in the field.
