Somalland, a separatist area in Somalia, is a major center for transit for the illegal wildlife trade. Hundreds of leopard and leopards were transferred from the Horn of Africa to the Gulf states through the Gulf of Aden.

In August, the local authorities arrested two people and rescued 10 other nets that were directed to the Gulf.

The founder of the CCF Lori Marker said that the rescued cubs “were subjected to malnutrition” and were slowly re -submitted to the food, starting with fluids.

“The cubs were very bad,” she said. “One of them died just a few hours after his arrival at the CCF center, although in the intensive care and critical care unit that is managed. Another died the next day in the same circumstances. Two others in critical care, one in a very bad condition. The other seven respond.”

Marker, whose center is now 128 of the leopard that was rescued, said that the illegal trade in Cheetahs was leading this type to extinction.

She said: “The leopards are not pets. They are wild animals, and the predators team and play an important role in the ecosystem.” “Wildlife belongs to the wilderness. Please help us to stop the illegal pet trade in Cheetahs and other types of wildlife that is illegally traded around the world.”

Marker said that saving the cubs was “very important” in the battle to save the leopard from extinction, adding: “With less than 7,000 leopard in the wild, we cannot lose one to trade illegal pets.”
