Vier sirkustiere van Argentini\u00eb wat sowat 15 jaar lank in \u2019n treinwa aangehou is, is inwoners van Suid-Afrika sedert hulle by die Lionsrock Big Cat Sanctuary naby Bethlehem gehuisves word. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hier sal hulle gereabiliteer word om stelselmatig die natuur en hul nuwe vryheid te leer ken. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die tiere, wat nie aan die natuurlike habitat gewoond is nie, vind dit uitdagend om byvoorbeeld op ongelyke grond en gras te loop. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Re\u00ebndruppels het oor die naweek die eerste keer in die oop veld op die tiere geval \u2013 iets buite hul ervaring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die internasionale dierewelsyns\u00adorganisasie Four Paws, met behulp van veeartse en \u2019n span deskundiges, het die vier Argentynse tiere \u2013 Messi, Sandro, Mafalda en Gustavo \u2013 gered. Hul tuiste was \u2019n treinwa van skaars 75 m2<\/span> groot, wat in die Argentynse provinsie San Luis geparkeer was. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Dit was die eerste keer dat Four Paws diere uit Suid-Amerika red. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2019n Reisende sirkus het in 2007 die twee ouer tiere, \u2019n mannetjie en wyfie, in \u2019n treinwa gelos en \u2019n plaaslike boer gevra om na hulle om te sien. Die twee jonger tiere is later daar in aanhouding gebore. Die sirkuseienaar het nooit teruggekeer nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Die vier se lang reis na Bethlehem het op 9 Maart begin, en hulle is Saterdag (12\/03) veilig en ongedeerd in Suid-Afrika verwelkom. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDie tiere is in \u2019n reabilitasiekamp by die Loinsrock-beskermingsgebied, om aan die omgewing en natuur blootgestel te word,\u201d s\u00ea Daniel Born, woordvoerder van Four Paws. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cSodra hulle vordering toon, sal hulle na \u2019n groter kamp verskuif word. Die reddingspan moniteer die diere om hul aanpasbaarheid te beoordeel en kon \u2019n opvallende rustigheid by die tiere opmerk.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Born s\u00ea dat dit \u2019n lang proses sal verg vir die tiere om heeltemal in die nuwe omgewing aan te pas, maar dat hulle gemoniteer word om die proses te vergemaklik. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Dr. Amir Khalil, veearts en die leier van die reddingspan, het maande lank gewerk om \u2019n geskikte blyplek vir die diere te soek, toestemming by die onderskeie owerhede te kry en al die re\u00eblings te tref. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Vier
