While – The animal collection at Medan Zoo died again and this time it happened to a Bengal tiger named Wesa. Medan Mayor Bobby Nasution also commented on the matter.
“Look at the age of that tiger there. The age of the tiger is 15 to 20 years. Over 15 years is the vulnerable age for tigers,” said Bobby detikNorth SumatraSunday (01/28/2024)
Bobby stated that there were several factors that influenced the death of the tigers at Medan Zoo, including Wesa. He urged the public to think broadly.
“I don’t blame him because he (Wesa) is old, but there are factors in everything including age, management, nutrition, there are all factors,” he said.
In addition, Bobby repeatedly emphasized that the community should contribute to the management of Medan Zoo. Bobby invited the residents to visit.
“I have repeatedly said that Medan Zoo will be managed together. From the beginning, we made plans and also started implementing them,” he said.
FYI: Wesa died at the age of 19 as a result of anesthesia infausta (unable to be saved). Another Bengal tiger, Avatar, also died in early December 2023.
Not only Bengal tigers, but also Sumatran tigers named Erha and Nurhaliza died in early November 2023 and late December 2023. Now 9 tigers still live in Medan Zoo.
Of the nine tigers, there are five Bengal tigers and four Sumatran tigers. Other animals are also still in the Medan Zoo and are cared for by the North Sumatra Natural Resources Conservation Center (BKSDA).
