Over the weekend, a tiger escaped from a private farm in South Africa and was killed.
The tiger escaped from a farm in Walkerville, south of Johannesburg, prompting a massive search. While on the loose, it attacked a person, two dogs, and a pig.
It was shot on Wednesday morning after it entered a farm where families live and killed a domestic animal, local media reported.
The local organization Societies for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) said the authorities were left with a “very difficult decision to make as the lives of more people and animals were at risk”.
“This case demonstrates why wild animals should not be kept as pets. “The SPCA opposes the keeping and breeding of wild and exotic animals as pets,” the organization stated.
