The Wild Animal Sanctuary requested
two permits to import three live jaguars
and three live tigers from Lebanon and
Mexico, respectively, due to political
instability and the threat of warfare in
the former, and due to severe financial
difficulty for the partner organization in
the latter. After assessing the level of
crisis facing the respective partner
organizations in Lebanon and Mexico,
the Service determined that an
emergency affecting the lives of these
animals existed, and that no reasonable
alternative was available to the
applicant.
On October 9, 2024, the Service
issued permits PER12739118 and
PER12746542 to The Wild Animal
Sanctuary, to import three jaguars and
three tigers for the purpose of
enhancement of the survival of the
species. The animals will be transferred
to the Wild Animal Sanctuary where
they are anticipated to remain for the
entirety of their lifetimes.
