The civilians wanted to get close to it because it was such a rare occurrence for a tiger to come to a crowded area such as the market.
However, Saryono said that being crowded by humans could cause stress to the tiger. “We hope civilians can keep their distance,” he said.

At the moment, the team had installed two box traps at the location where the tiger attacked the cow. “There is no sign that the box traps have been visited by a tiger,” Dian said.
BBKSDA’s head of Riau Division, Mulyo Hutomo, also said that they had taught the civilians about what to do to avoid tigers. His team also forbad the civilians from using snares. Since tigers came into the village, the civilians are afraid of doing any activity in their gardens.
