Stuck In Beirut

Fate had entirely different plans for the cubs when they were being shipped. They were meant to reach Samer al-Husainawi Zoo in Damascus, Syria but ended up being stuck in Beirut and this was what helped the cubs in being discovered and being saved.

Permission Granted

Animals Lebanon was granted permission to open the crate. At once the people at Animals Lebanon took the cubs out of the crate and took them to the vet. The Executive Director at Animal Lebanon, Jason Mier was stunned to see the condition in which the cubs were.

Poor Cubs

Jason said that the cubs were kept in a pathetic condition. He said that the cubs were filled with maggots. Their paws were in the worst possible condition. The paws had turned red because they were standing in their urine for a long time.

 Safe Now!

But the cubs were safe with Animals Lebanon now and a few months later Animals Lebanon came up with terrific news. The veterinarian when examined the cubs he came across a shocking revelation and informed the officials immediately. 

The Vet

The vet, while examining the cubs and vaccinating them, found out that one of the cubs had been microchipped. According to the documents, each one of them should have been microchipped but he couldn’t verify that.

Microchipped

When the officials got to know about the fact that only one of them had been microchipped they became alert. This revelation could only mean one thing: that someone had bought them illegally and this proved out to be true.
