A Northeast Tiger in Yichang Wildlife Park was hunted, skinned and its head stolen.
Last night, an adult female Siberian tiger was brutally killed and skinned in the wildlife world of Yichang Three Gorges Forest. At present, the police have confirmed that the tiger was stolen and killed, and the case is being detected.
The breeder found the tiger bones.
At 8 o’clock yesterday morning, an administrator in the forest wildlife world went to inspect and found that a Siberian tiger in the park was brutally killed. According to reports, at that time, the skin of this Siberian tiger had been peeled off, leaving only the trunk and the head being taken away.
After the administrator called the police, the police quickly rushed to the scene to investigate and dispatched police dogs to search the scene. Witnesses said that since 9 o’clock in the morning, the door of the animal world has been locked, and only police cars can enter and exit. When several local media reporters tried to enter the interview, they were rejected by the staff.
The killed Siberian tiger is an adult female.
At 5 o’clock yesterday afternoon, Wang Ping, deputy director of Yichang Forestry Bureau Office, confirmed that a Siberian tiger was indeed stolen and killed in the Three Gorges Forest Wildlife World, but the basic situation of the killed Siberian tiger could not be announced until the public security organs further investigated and verified it.
Wang Ping said that the police had set up a task force and were trying their best to solve the case. At the same time, they announced the tip-off number 0717-6343119 to collect clues from the society and reward citizens who provided valuable clues.
According to an insider, the killed Siberian tiger is an adult and female.
There are many kinds of tigers in the zoo.
The "Three Gorges Forest Wildlife World" covers an area of 598 mu with a total investment of 120 million yuan, which was completed and opened in October 2002. It is not only a modern eco-environmental tourism project, but also a wildlife protection and breeding center of the State Forestry Administration in the Three Gorges area, which shoulders the responsibility and obligation to rescue, breed and manage endangered wildlife in the Three Gorges area. There is a special tiger park in the animal world, including South China Tiger, Northeast Tiger and Bengal Tiger.
Three conjectures about the murder of Northeast Tiger Zoo
Conjecture 1: Foreigners covet the huge economic value of tigers, and the relevant laws and regulations of the state explicitly prohibit the sale of living tigers and related organs. Out of the temptation of huge economic interests, criminals enter the zoo at night, kill or anesthetize tigers and peel them for profit.
Conjecture 2: Because they are familiar with the internal environment and topography of the park and understand the huge economic value of tigers, the staff in the park are inside the house and steal from themselves, taking advantage of their work to carry out the evil act of killing tigers for skin in the dead of night.
Conjecture 3: lured by the huge economic benefits of outsiders, the insiders of the park colluded with outsiders to form a criminal chain of killing tigers-taking skins-selling.

Northeast Tiger-King of the Jungle
The Siberian tiger is the largest cat in existence, with an average body length of about 2.8 meters, a tail length of about 1 meter and a weight of more than 350 kilograms. Mainly distributed in the northeast of China, and found in Siberia abroad. Body color is brownish yellow in summer and yellowish in winter. There are many rows of narrow black stripes on the back and side of the body, usually two of them are willow-shaped. The head is big and round, and several black stripes on the forehead are often colluded in the middle, which is very similar to the word "king", so it has the reputation of "king of the jungle". At present, there are only less than 20 wild Siberian tigers in China. (Reporter Hu Huaijun correspondent Yang Guangzhi)
