An airport pick-up box with multiple holes in it appeared without proper labeling. Employees at work ignore the box and continue with their tasks. Because it does not have the correct tags, it will be stacked among other items in the same condition. The box is about 16 inches tall and only says it will be shipped to Syria.

After a week of waiting in the holding room, the box was incorrectly labeled. Finally, legal confirmation was received that airport personnel had the authority to open and inspect the contents of the container. What they discovered almost knocked them out!
Three Siberian tigers are packed inside the box. No one knows how they survived for so long. However, all three of them survived even though they didn’t eat or drink for a week! Lebanese Animals posted on Facebook, “Nothing indicates that the box contains tigers or even live animals, and there are no details about the shipper or recipient,” animal rights group Animals Lebanon wrote on Facebook.

Three male cats were on a flight from Ukraine and are believed to have been sold to a zoo in Syria. Lebanese animals demanded that the tigers be delivered to them. A court ruled in their favor. “Their foot pads were intact and red from being covered with urine, and they had new wounds on their hind legs and thighs,” he said.
The Siberian tigers are in dire need of help. Endangered species are prized on the black market. Those looking to profit from their illegal trades may not consider animal welfare.

“They are improving – but they are still at risk! Big cats can be worth tens of thousands of dollars on the black market. The owners are fighting to get them back, and we are fighting for the tigers and the law,” Animals Lebanon explained on Facebook.

The zoo protested the rescue team’s request to return the tigers. Thankfully, a judge again ruled in favor of the recovery team, allowing all three tigers to stay with them. “Thanks for all your hard work making this possible.
The tigers have thrived in the new environment. We’re so glad they were discovered just when we needed them!
