Servals finally transported to new permanent home
Last month, four rescued servals started their journey to their permanent home at Panthera Africa in South Africa. Etihad Airways provided the flights for the servals, and three organisations, Born Free Foundation, Natuurhulpcentrum and Panthera Africa helped along the way.
The four servals were kept illegally as pets in Belgium before they were rescued. As they did not have names, the four animals were temporarily named after the city they were rescued in – Kinrooi, Mechelen, Roeselare, and Diepenbeek.
Andrea Donaldson of Born Free said, “Everyone at Born Free is extremely grateful to Etihad Cargo who looked after our servals in flight on their journey to South Africa and we know they will live their best possible life, given their unhappy story so far, in the care of Panthera Africa.” (cj)
