After the escape of a tiger near Leipzig, the question arises as to what will happen to the remaining eight big cats from the private enclosure. The animal welfare organization Vier Pfoten is offering to help relocate the animals to suitable and species-appropriate facilities. The authorities have not yet clarified how to proceed, according to the responsible district office in North Saxony.
A spokeswoman for Vier Pfoten said that investigations into the cause of the incident are currently being clarified. The organization has a sanctuary in Maßweiler in Rhineland-Palatinate, where big cats from private owners are also taken in.
