For a long seven days, an incomplete wood box ignores the Durant Airport in Beirut, mixing the cargo and luggage simultaneously in the sea of luggage. Crate, just 16 inches tall, small and uninterrupted, there are only a few ventilation holes and no identifying labels or identification. It was a general appearance container that did not indicate the extraordinary and tragic material in it. When the airport workers finally decided to investigate the mysterious package, they were unhappy to discover the shock that would follow – three small, endangered Siberian Tiger Cubes to survive to survive.
These cubes, just four months old, were discovered in their own urine and feces, imacated and severely dehydrated. The tiny enclosure was so cramped that they couldn’t even stand. There was no miracle of their survival in this national situation.
The crate did not give any indication of his valuable cargo. There was no label to manage the living creature, there was no instructions, and there was no identifying information about the sender or intended recipient. As investigators will discover that cubes are being transferred from the Nicolav Zoo in Ukraine to the Al-Husseinawi Zoo in Sams, Syria.
However, the problem of papers and inappropriate labeling results in Lebanon a seven -day delay, so that the cubs are stuck in abnormal circumstances. After the security personnel decided to investigate the mysterious box, the damage happened. The cubes were weak, infected with insects and needed immediate treatment.
Jason Mier, Executive Director Animal lebanonThe deadly scene describes: “When we opened the crate, we could see a few dozens of maggot completely. Maggots were also attacking the back thighs of cubes. The smell was overwhelming. “
Recognizing the emergency of the situation, the local animal welfare company Lebanon applied for a judge to release the Cubes in their care. Time was the essence. The judge, which was removed by the intensity of the case, granted the request to allow the organization to rescue the tiger.
The cubes were instantly transferred to a safe environment, where they were tested by a wildlife veterinarian. Their condition was fatal: “Their leg pads were raw and red, as they had their back legs and thighs. They were malnourished, severely dehydrated and did not get any vaccine,” explained to Myer.
Although the papers have claimed that three cubes were microchipped, only one chip was reported. This significance raised further questions about the validity of the shipment.
This is the destination for this tiger – a zoo in Syria is associated with The suspicion. Crate did not meet the quality of international transportation, and the original documentation was missing, which point to the possibility of illegal trafficking.
The black market for external animals is a profitable industry, with a large cat like Siberian tiger to bring a few thousand dollars. This fatal reality was not lost on the animal Lebanon, whose party was afraid of the future of cubes.
“The owner is fighting to re -claim them, but we are fighting for the tiger,” said Mia. “It’s not just about these three cubes. It is about publishing a system that allows endangered animals to do business and exploit ”
With the emergence of the investigation, annoying details about the mother of these cubs arose. Since 2002, he has given birth to at least 12 Cuba, including these three. All in the previous nine were sold to private buyers whose identity was never revealed.
This revelation refers to a rigorous truth: the trade of external animals often works in the legal gray region, where the rules are badly applied and the animals are considered as products than sensitive animals.
Under the Lebanon care of animals, tiger cubs begin their journey to recovery. They found a safe place for vaccination, insect attacks and a safe place for wandering – it was completely contrary to their limited minor crate.
However, the relief was short. Despite the best efforts of the rescue agency, a judge finally ruled that the cubes of Ukraine would be returned to their owners. This decision kept their fate uncertain, as it opened the door to the private collectors in their hands or the black market possible.
For Mier and his team, these cubes were a bitsuit attempt to protect these cubes. “We can simply hope that they will be treated with care and respect they deserve,” he said. “But the reality is far from the guarantee of their future without the powerful rules.”
Dog-looting operations involves 107 dogs
Georgia’s Man collected 107 dogs that he used to breed, sell and emphasize the horror world of dog-swallowing. Find everyone who was complicated and signed a petition to claim their accountability!
The incident of this tiger cub is not an isolated incident. It highlights a wide range of things: the exploitation of endangered animals in a world where profits are often more than conservation. Companies like Animal Lebanon are working tirelessly to focus on these injustice, but the fight is far away.
The plight of these cubes acts as a complete reminder of strict laws and application requirements to protect the weak wildlife. Without any action, countless other animals will be caught in the crime of greed and neglect.
