While the Department of Agriculture, Land Reform and Rural Development and the Department of Environmental affairs passed the buck of accountability regarding the tiger by refusing to comment, the National Council of Societies for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals will investigate the incident. NSPCA spokesperson Keshvi Nair said the association will investigate the shooting of the tiger escapee.
Midvaal Executive Mayor spokesperson Idah Satikhe said the decision to euthanise Sheba followed an intense three-day search for the tiger. “It seems that the enclosure wasn’t secure which calls into question the overall conditions in which this tiger was being kept, as well as the level of training of the people keeping it,” she said.
Parker said the organisation has filed a submission to parliament to stop the exploitation of big cats.
