Rush for tiger's dung to use as pest control

 

August 12, 2005 ¤Ñ Family Land Zoo in Jeolla province

said yesterday that it has received a rush of requests

from farmers residing nearby for tiger's dung, as it

has proved to be an effective way to scare off wild

animals.

 

Park Jong-cheon, a 54-year-old farmer, spread 20

kilograms of tigers' dung that the zoo provided for

free on sweet potato fields at his farm, suspecting

that wild boars might be afraid of the smell of such a

ferocious animal as a tiger.

 

The experiment succeeded, and for the last six days,

wild boars have avoided his farm.

Other residents in his village also spread tigers'

dung on their cornfields and are awaiting the result.

A veterinarian at the zoo said, " Wild boars might have

felt threatened by the smell of the dung, which is

used by another animal to mark its territorial claim. "
