Five of the nine tigers rescued a month ago at the Polish-Belarusian border, where they were found crammed in an Italian truck , departed from Poland to the sanctuary of wild animals in Villena , in the province of Alicante.
The felines, whose initial destination was a zoo in the Russian Republic of Dagestan, were rescued at the end of October by two Polish zoos after being found in deplorable conditions in a truck that had been held on the Polish-Belarus border because they lacked the necessary documentation For that transport.
During the days they remained on the border with Belarus, one of the tigers died due to hunger, lack of hygiene and overcrowding that he suffered in a cage too small.
The survivors were transferred to the Polish zoos of Poznan and Czluchów .
From the zoo in Poznan , the time it will take to transfer to Villena has not been specified , where the Primadomus reserve that the Dutch association AAP has in the Alicante town is located.
"The necessary stops will be made to ensure the welfare of the animals," said those responsible for the zoo.
The Polish Ministry of Environment has provided the precise documentation for the transfer, which is done in a heated truck and cages with enough space for the cats to change positions.
The two Italian truckers carrying the tigers have been charged by the Polish prosecutor for animal abuse .
