“A statement from a resident of the village of Poyarkovo was received on Tuesday at the inter-municipal department of the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs, Mikhailovsky, saying that a tiger is being abused in a mobile zoo,” the department said.

Also, a local resident reported that he saw an open wound on the tiger’s stomach. It is noted that employees of the zoo explained to the police that the tiger itself combed his stomach. According to them, the veterinarian prescribed treatment for the animal.

Police officers check all the information.

In December 2018, Realnoe Vremya reported that in the Orenburg region they began checking on the fact of a tiger attack on a circus employee.
