Wanted: Tiger Killer on Facebook

Only a few days after the case of a (presumed) orangutan slaughter in Cetral Borneo, which arose after some photos were uploaded on Facebook by a user named Polo Panitia Hari Kiamat, now the netizens are again bewildered by a killing of a Sumatran Tiger. Again, the case became widespread after the photos were uploaded and shared by lots of Facebook users.

According to the Law no.5 of 1990 concerning the Conservation of Living Natural Heritage and Its Ecosystem, anybody who violates this law is liable to 5 years of prison and IDR 100 million fines.
