In a significant catch, five caracals and a leopard cat, both rare and very less sighted members of the cat family, were rescued from trafficker in Uttar Pradesh's Mirzapur district, forest officials said on Monday. The animals, kept in medium-sized cages, well-wrapped up but with netted cloth to avoid suffocation, were being taken from Bihar to Hyderabad. Police rescued them on Sunday evening after a tip-off after intercepting a vehicle in which Mohammad Arif of Hyderabad was transporting them, Mirzapur's District Forest Officer K.K. Pandey told IANS.
According to Shekhar Niraj, Head of TRAFFIC, a wildlife trade monitoring network in alliance with the WWF, it is a first such case where so many caracals were caught being trafficked. | ||||||||
