Following criticism from Scorpion Foundation last year, the Natural Resources Conservation Agency (BKSDA) Bengkulu moved two Sumatran tigers (Phantera tigris sumatrae) from BKSDA office to Seblat Nature Recreation Park (TWA) in North Bengkulu district of Bengkulu Province. One of the tiger, Elsa, already passed away, but another tiger, Giring, is still alive in a cage 3x3 meters size.
Scorpion Investigator in Bengkulu visited the location of the tiger in the Seblat Nature Recreation Park (TWA) on Friday, 13 May 2016 and found that the condition of the tiger looked so fat and unhealthy.
The Ministry of Environment and Forestry (MoEF) is urged to save Giring by moving him to another better place and better care.
