" On May 12, Hao Jinsong, a scholar, submitted an application to the State Forestry Administration in accordance with the Regulations on the Openness of Government Information, requesting the publication of tiger photos. On May 26th, the media revealed that the Intermediate People's Court of Jinhua City, Zhejiang Province had made a final ruling that Zhou Zhenglong's objection to the hierarchical jurisdiction could not be established, and rejected the appeal against the case of Zhejiang Yiwu Western Color Printing Packaging Co., Ltd. v.

On June 23rd, Hao Jinsong sued the Shaanxi Provincial Forestry Department in the Lianhu District Court of xi City, demanding to disclose relevant information according to the Regulations on the Openness of Government Information. On June 24th, insiders of Shaanxi Forestry Department revealed to the media that Zhou Zhenglong had been taken away by Shaanxi police for "possessing prohibited articles" two weeks ago. The insider claimed that Zhou had confessed the forgery process to the police, and the prototype of the tiger photo was really just a tiger photo. On June 26th, Liu Liyuan, a professor from Beijing Normal University, who is regarded as an important figure of the Tiger School, told the media that Zhou Zhenglong photographed the clear footprints of the South China Tiger in April 2008. On June 29th, the spokesman of Shaanxi provincial government, the heads of the general office of the provincial government, the provincial public security department and the provincial supervision department attended the press conference to inform the society about the investigation and handling of the "South China Tiger Photo Incident". Zhou Zhenglong, suspected of fraud, has been submitted by the public security organs to the procuratorial organs for approval of his arrest. At the beginning of April this year, with the help of Yimou, a villager in the village, Zhou Zhenglong took photos in the snow in Beicaopo, zhenping county with a wooden Tiger Claw mold made in advance, still trying to cheat. The police have confirmed that Zhou Zhenglong was about 3.9 meters away from Tiger and 0.5 meters away from Tiger/KLOC-0, which fundamentally overturned the authenticity of Zhou Zhenglong's shooting of wild South China tigers. Last September, Zhou Zhenglong found a tiger painting in a neighboring village, which became a "prop" for him to fight tigers later. Shaanxi police will present this material evidence.
