A man hunted a 150-kilo jaguar
in Formosa
and bragged about his achievement on social media.
However, he ended up in custody after being denounced by an animal protection association that took the outrageous
videos that he posted on Facebook
and filed a
legal complaint
.
The poacher and criminal, from Clorinda, left an illegal hunting expedition on Monday, December 19, early in the morning,
after celebrating the consecration of the Argentine National Team
in the World Cup in Qatar.
His trophy, he will have imagined, will not be like the one Lionel Messi lifted at the Lusail stadium in Qatar, but perhaps just as valuable to him.
Although outrageous for the rest.
A man killed a jaguar in Formosa and was arrested for the videos he uploaded to Facebook.

It is well known: the jaguar, a symbol of the native Argentine fauna, is a
protected animal because it is an endangered species.
But for
the man, whose name has not yet been released, it was a target and led him to
pursue the large specimen for long hours
, starting at 7 in the morning in a sandy area and under oppressive temperatures.
Hours later, social networks once again acted as
a sounding board
and caused Red Yaguareté, an animal protection association, to denounce
it, alerted by the
bestiality of the images .
The same NGO followed up thanks to the published material and filed a complaint
before the federal court
, -due to the criminal nature of the illegal hunting of protected species- which ordered the
raids
.
The most compelling proof was the video in which the man describes how and how far he pursues him, thanks to the tracks left by the animal and then
shows it already dead
.
He turns it around and
opens its mouth
so everyone can enjoy his outrageous action with him.
The Federal Court worked with the Environmental Crimes area of the Federal Police, and also with the collaboration of the Flora and Fauna area of the Province of Formosa.
There it was found that it was a specimen of about 150 kilos and the federal justice of that province intervened.
The hunter-criminal was
arrested this Thursday
s.
"We are going to act firmly, this is a
crime against nature
, and we are going to apply all the weight that the law allows in this and other cases like this," said the federal judge 1 of that province, Pablo Morán, in statements to Radio One of Formosa.
The same magistrate, he added, but interviewed by Norte, who gave the corresponding order to move forward
after seeing the videos
provided by Red Yaguareté.
"The raids in Clorinda, Formosa province, were for the purpose of
seizing weapons, ammunition and other objects
of interest related to the illegal hunting of a jaguar."
During the raids, after which the man was arrested and brought before the Justice, in addition to the weapons and ammunition, other elements of previous crimes such as
puma skins
, and other evidence that compromised the person involved were found.
The director of Natural Resources and Management of the Ministry of Production and Environment of Formosa, Franco Del Rosso, said for his part that it is a "very sad" fact because "they are practically
the last specimens of this species
that remain in the Chaco Region. ”.
The outrageous story of the hunting of a jaguar in the voice of the illegal hunter
Although the video published by the illegal hunter and rescued as judicial evidence by the Jaguar Network begins with the dead animal and continues with the previous search, the chronological reconstruction, in the words of the hunter, is terrifying.
"Today is Monday, yesterday we celebrated the world championship," contextualizes the man,
leaving traces for his own condemnation
of him.
"Here we are after the
footprints of a big, big, big one,
" he says as he focuses them on the sand with his phone, while his shadow is seen advancing, with a cap and his hands approaching the traces that the specimen left behind. He passed.
She doesn't show her face.

"A very large male that must be weighing 150 kilos. Easy," he says enthusiastically.
With that push, he continues: "We're going to follow the tracks. It's hot so surely
this unhappy guy is going to lie down somewhere
."
There are no images of the moment of the massacre, but words of satisfaction from the attacker.
"Here
we were finally able to with the boys
, that from 7 in the morning we have been chasing him, we found the footprint," he says.
Then, he describes it as "a gigantic male... over 150 kilos. gigantic male, look what it is."
And at the end, like someone who became champion but celebrates in solitude and with repudiation instead of applause, he reiterates: "From 7 in the morning we were looking for
him and we were finally able to kill him here
with the boys."
The self-congratulatory videos of him were the mark that he left for Justice to stop him.
