Amazonic male Jaguar is killed after predating on female dog in FUNAI base in Acre- Brazil.

August 2011.

A sertanist who studies isolated tribes recorded what happened this Tuesday.

The region is the same one where PF ( brazilian federal police ) arrested a Portuguese trafficker in the beginning of the month.

A jaguar was shot by men from the National Security Force and the National Indian Foundation (FUNAI) on the night of Tuesday (24) after invading and killing a dog from the Ethno-environmental Protection Front of the foundation in Feijó (AC) near the border of Brazil with Peru.

"And then they think that we who work in the forest should walk unarmed. Look who killed a dog in the doorway here at the base this Tuesday. Besides the drug dealers he still has those small animals. Anybody in good conscience want to live here without a gun? Or should we call IBAMA or FUNAI when the jaguar comes home?" said sertanista José Carlos dos Reis Meirelles.''

The region is the same one where the Federal Police (PF) arrested a Portuguese trafficker earlier this month. FUNAI had reported an armed group coming from Peru was circling the region where isolated indigenous people live in the surroundings of the Envira River in western Acre.
