A Siberian Tiger, a highly protected species, broke into a sheep's pen in Hunchun, Jilin province, and devoured two sheep and killed 22 others last Saturday.

The owner of the farm surnamed Sun saw the tiger attacking his sheep and called the police.

To scare the tiger away, policemen fired shots into the air.

But to their surprise, the tiger continued to attack the sheep. When he was done, he disappeared into a nearby forest. Authorities promised Sun that he would be compensated for his loss.
