A while the that easy going atmosphere surprised by running and noise of goat from its cage. the Location of  sheep fold apart about 10 m from camp at the front of camp, and sheep fold position a few higher than camp. That occurence make all worker want to know  and come to the sheep fold to see cause that make the goat fear.  Ipen, as gaffer of sawit plantation with some people   at the time check around camp area by using plash light cause  that moment  day start dark. After walking about 50 m from camp, they  surprised by finding  a goat with condition dying with nape which almost break. Goat condition which have dying that finally decide initiative for them to immediately slaughter the goat and bring it to the camp, but that intention  change after finishing to slaughter that goat, they see 2 individual of  tiger residing in about 7 m from them stand up.
