Chasing a truck carrying animals, rescuing two Indochinese tigers

(Baonghean.vn) - On the morning of June 14, Quynh Luu Forest Protection Department said that at 8:30 p.m. on June 13, they received a report from the public that a truck without a license plate and a tarpaulin covering the trunk was transporting rare animals. Immediately, Quynh Luu Forest Protection Department coordinated with the district police to process the information and arrest the mysterious truck.

During the pursuit of the truck on National Highway 1A from North to South, due to the rain, narrow road and sophisticated tricks of the transporter, he intentionally threw obstacles, causing difficulties for the authorities. However, in the face of the determined pursuit of the forest rangers and the Quynh Luu District Police, at about 20:45 when reaching Quynh Hong Commune (Quynh Luu), the truck suddenly turned into the inter-village road, then threw two animals onto the road and escaped that night.

Quynh Luu district authorities check the health of two tigers.

Through inspection, Quynh Luu Forest Rangers determined that the two animals that the truck threw down were two Indochinese tigers weighing between 80 and 90kg, of unknown age, that had been injected with anesthetic by criminals.

The two Tigers are under anesthesia.

To ensure the health and lives of these two tigers, immediately after that, Quynh Luu Forest Rangers coordinated with the Police to use special vehicles to transport the two tigers to Pu Mat National Park (Con Cuong district) and hand them over to Pu Mat National Animal Rescue Center for care.

Currently, Quynh Luu Forest Ranger Department and district police are continuing to investigate the above truck./.
