Guest guest Posted June 18, 2002 Report Share Posted June 18, 2002 Tiger kills two farmers From correspondents in Jakarta 18jun02 A TIGER has reportedly mauled two farmers to death on the Indonesian island of Sumatra. The men were attacked last month in a forest at Kumpeh Hulu in the central province of Jambi, according to the report today. The head of the local forest protection office, Agus Priambudi, detailed the attack to the Antara news agency. Sumatran tigers have been often sighted in the area following the logging of the forest by a private concession holder. Conservationists have blamed logging for shrinking the habitat of many animals, including tigers and elephants, and for their resulting rampages.
