PENDUDUK yang bersenjatakansenapang patah terpaksa mengawal kandang lembu daripada diganggu anjinghutan di Felda Tenang, Besut malam tadi.
BESUT - Para peneroka di Felda Tenang dekat sini tidak dapat tidurlena sejak 2007 bukan disebabkan turun naiknya harga komoditi kelapa sawit tetapi ancaman dari hutan yang bersempadan dengan ladang mereka.
Apabila menjelang waktu malam, gerombolan anjing hutan mula bergerak memasuki ladang itu dengan sasarannya ialah ternakan lembu milik peneroka.
Peneroka ada sebab untuk bimbang memandangkan pada 2007 sahaja,sebanyak 100 ekor lembu mereka telah dibaham oleh anjing hutan, diikuti dengan 80 ekor tahun lalu manakala dalam tempoh empat bulan tahun ini,ternakan yang dilaporkan mati diserang ialah 50 ekor.
Tidak cukup dengan itu, ada laporan kononnya haiwan tersebut keluar berkeliaran waktu siang untuk mengejar peneroka yang masuk ke dalam ladang untuk memungut buah kelapa sawit.
Setakat ini tidak diketahui jumlah anjing hutan di kawasan tersebu ttetapi ada penduduk yakin ia mencecah 100 ekor dengan kumpulan itu memburu pada waktu malam sehingga subuh.
Seorang peneroka, Zakaria Mat Noor, 43, mendakwa kerugian kira-kiraRM8,000 selepas 15 ekor lembu peliharaannya dibaham anjing hutan sejakawal tahun ini.
Berdasarkan pemerhatiannya, haiwan itu menyerang lembu secara berkumpulan dengan begitu ganas sehingga badan ternakan itu 'koyak-rabak' dimamah.
"Selepas menyerang lembu, anjing-anjing itu akan memakannya.
"Biasanya kami hanya sedar ada serangan bila terjumpa bangkai lembu di ladang kelapa sawit," katanya di sini semalam.
Menurutnya, masalah itu telah dimaklumkan kepada Jabatan Perlindungan Hidupan Liar dan Taman Negara (Perhilitan) namun sehingga kini tiada langkah susulan diambil.

harus semua anjing mati kena tembakkalau perlihitan laaa yang amek tindakan... tak pernah pulak dengar anjing hutan asia.... kalau dinggo 2 pernah lah....
tapi kenapa skarang baru anjing2 ni nak mengganas:o .... Dhole Fact File
http://www.cuon.net/dholes/grass.jpg Along with many other wild canids the dhole has suffered a history of prejudice.Only with a better understanding can we fully value these unique dogs and their integral role in the forest ecosystem.
Physical DescriptionThe dhole or Asiatic Wild Dog (Cuon alpinus) is aboutthe size of a border collie (12-18 kg), but looks quitedifferent. The coat is usually a rusty red colour, but variesregionally from sandy yellow to dark grey. See our dhole map pagefor details ofregional colour variation (frame-compliant browsers only). Usually it hasa black bushy tail and white patches on its chest, paws andbelly.Its ears are rounded, and its hooded amber eyesportray an intelligent nature.
Within the canid family the dhole is something of an enigma.It doesn't fit neatly into any of the sub-families (i.e. thefoxes or wolf-like dogs) and is classified in a genus of its own- Cuon. Among its unusual features is a strange whistlecall which it uses to re-assemble the pack when animals becomeseparated in dense forest.The dhole also has more teetsthan most other dogs and has a shorter jaw with one lessmolar on each side of its lower jaw.
Social BehaviourThe dhole is a highly social and cooperative animal, living inorganised packs of around 10 individuals. Groups often containmore males than females, with usually just one breeding female.Occasionally, large groups of over 40 dogs have been seen,possibly arising from the temporary fusion of neighbouring packs.

Together with the grey wolf, African hunting dog andAmazonian bush dog, the dhole is one of the few dogs thatregularly hunts in packs. This requires intelligence,co-ordination, and sometimes courage! In India, one of the dhole'sfavourite prey is the medium-sized Axis deer. On occasions,however, it will tackle even larger prey like the banteng (alarge bovid), and highly aggressive prey like the wild boar. Withsuch dangerous quarry, the dogs can literally risk their livesto secure the food they need to survive. Communal hunting isparticularly important during the breeding season when packmembers return to the den to regurgitate food for the mother andpups. Sometimes, however, dholes prefer to hunt individually orin pairs, focusing on smaller prey such as hares.
Habitat and Geographical Range
http://www.cuon.net/dholes/standing.jpg
The dhole normally lives in forest habitats, but can also eke out an existence in the open steppes of Kashmir and Siberia. As the Latin name, Cuon alpinus suggests, the dhole is often found in hilly or mountainous regions. The dhole's historical range reflects this great adaptability, extending from India to Russia, and down through China to Malaysia and Indonesia (Java being the southern limit). In recent decades, however, there has been massive habitat loss within this region. Today, very little is known about the dhole's distribution, but restricted surveys indicate serious decline and fragmentation of the former range. The best remaining populations are probably to be found in central and southern India, but even their stability is in question. The urgent need for more information on the dhole's present distribution has been highlighted in the latest IUCN Action Plan for Canids. In response to this plan, DCP have designed a sighting form and questionnaire survey and are compiling information on the dhole's status and distribution. Armed with such knowledge we will be in a much better position to mobilise direct conservation action.

Interesting Facts Did you know?...
[*]The dhole has some extraordinary vocal calls - it can whistle, scream, mew, and even cluck like a chicken.[*]It can urinate while doing a handstand on its front two legs (we have video to prove it!)[*]Sometimes it forms temporary packs of over 40 animals.[*]It breeds communally with most pack members helping to feed or guard the pups.[*]When hunting as a pack it can subdue prey over 10 times its own body weight, and can even fend off a tiger![*]It exploits a variety of habitats from tropical rain forest and dry-deciduous jungle, to cold alpine forest and open plains.[*]It has amazing jumping powers and can reach a vertical height of at least 2.3 metres (7.5 ft).[*]Its dental formula is unique among the dog family.[*]It is a capable swimmer and often drives its prey into water.

SEORANG lelaki menunjukkan kawasan tempat anjing hutan membaham lembu milik peneroka berdekatan rumahnya di Felda Tenang, Besut semalam.
KERATAN Kosmo! semalam.
BESUT - Mungkinkah anjing hutan yang membaham ternakan lembu di Felda Tenang di sini mahu 'membalas dendam'?
Tanggapan itu mungkin pelik bunyinya, namun serangan haiwan tersebut agak luar biasa kerana ia hanya menyerang ternakan milik peneroka tanah rancangan itu dan tidak mengganggu ternakan di beberapa kampung berhampiran.
Corak serangan anjing hutan itu juga agak aneh kerana ia cuma memakan hati dan limpa lembu ternakan penduduk di situ tetapi tidak membaham dagingnya.
Kosmo! difahamkan, ketika kawasan Felda tersebut dibuka kira-kira 40 tahun lalu, peneroka di tanah rancangan itu didakwa pernah menggunakan khidmat anjing untuk melindungi tanaman dan tempat tinggal mereka daripada ancaman binatang buas.
Bagaimanapun, selepas beberapa lama, anjing tersebut dikatakan dibuang oleh peneroka di situ dan haiwan itu terpaksa mencari makanan sendiri di sekitar hutan berhampiran.
Cerita ini diakui oleh Pengurus Besar Felda Wilayah Terengganu, Faizoull Ahmad yang menyifatkan sudah menjadi kebiasaan para peneroka di kawasan itu memelihara anjing ketika mula-mula membuka tanah di situ.
"Anjing digunakan untuk menjaga tanaman mereka daripada ancaman binatang liar lain. Apabila sudah tidak diperlukan, tuan punya anjing membuang haiwan itu tanpa dijaga.
"Boleh jadi selepas beberapa tahun, apabila haiwan itu membentuk satu kumpulan ia kembali menyerang binatang ternakan penduduk untuk terus hidup,'' katanya kepada Kosmo! semalam.
Gerombolan haiwan tersebut dikatakan keluar menjelang malam dan memasuki ladang untuk menyerang lembu milik penduduk dan ada dakwaan kumpulan itu turut keluar pada waktu siang membahayakan nyawa peneroka.
