In the first half of the year alone, there were 15 complaints, up from 10 cases in 2022.
The lack of prey has come about due to what is believed to be the decimation of wild boars because of the spread of ASF among the boar population as well as fewer deers.
“Most of the tiger complaints that have happened this year in Johor are around Kota Tinggi, Mersing, Kluang and even Johor Baru,” he told The Star. “To control the situation, Perhilitan has implemented a programme to re-introduce prey species to increase the population and increase food stock for tigers and other predators in the forest.In May, a tiger mauled three cows in Felda Ulu Tebrau, which is about 20km away from the Johor Baru city centre.
“There are a few cattle breeders, whether companies or individuals, who do not observe good practices in the management of livestock.“This situation provides an opportunity for tigers or other predators to attack the prey easily,” he said, urging farmers to obtain advice from Perhilitan so that preventive measures could be taken.
