Cambodia News, Ratanakkiri Province: Two hunters were arrested by the park rangers of Veun Sai-Siem Pang National Park after they were found illegally hunting wildlife in the park on the night of July 17, 2020, in Rattanakiri Province.

According to a release from the Ministry of Environment, the two suspects, Ang Bun and Pet Chet Prean Prey, were arrested by the park rangers at Veun Sai-Siem Pang National Park while they were patrolling.

At the same time as arresting the two hunters, the ranger officers confiscated 3 wild animals that were shot dead by the hunters, two deer and another smaller mammal, possibly a mouse deer. [Can anyone confirm ? ] Park rangers also confiscated two improvised explosive devices, a small box of ammunition and a bicycle.

After the confiscation, the three animals were burned on the spot. The two suspects have been charged and sent to court for legal action.

Yes News, two Red Muntjacs and a Mouse Deer.

This park could quite easily be securely protecred forever i reckon
- from poacher loggers and encroachers.
Cheap too, just put a big fence around the perimeter and re-release a couple families of tigers inside.

I think you are joking. right?

Conservation International (CI) has worked in the Veun Sai-Siem Pang region since 2009 to help protect nature for the benefit of people. The organization helped secure legal protection for the 57,500-hectare (136,000-acre) Veun Sai-Siem Pang National Park, declared in 2016. Conservation International supports teams of rangers from the government and communities who patrol the forest, alert officials to illegal logging, and educate communities on why it is in their interest to keep the forest intact. After the 2010 discovery of a new species of gibbon in the area — the northern yellow-cheeked crested gibbon — Conservation International researchers habituated a small population of the primate and worked with the local community to develop an ecotourism project, providing the apes a sanctuary in the trees while also offering families a more secure, sustainable income source.

Thats alot of fencing to be done! 57,500 hectares wow......And alot of cash from one of the greenie groups!
And the northern yellow-cheeked crested gibbon might not like the cats
And if you look at the pics closely those people have riffles! I reckon the tigers might not like them!
They caught some poachers thats a good thing!
Its a pity they didn't catch them early enough...

Yes, A'man ^^^ I was joking.
But as it happens, tigers and are being considered for this park.

And yes Nuke, gun control including amnesties do have an big effect in many places.

if you look at the pics closely those people have riffles!

No, they are smoothbore Laos muzzle loading muskets. Generally about .17 calibre and loaded double shotted.
Completely useless as a combat weapon.

and the tigers will use them as toothpicks

It all depends on how close you get! If your a sneaky bastard.

They must have belted the dear to death with those shooting sticks.
