An air-conditioned room with a comfortable bed, regular fluids and 24-hour veterinary care have been given to the two lion cubs Gulf News found housed in wooden crates.

The cubs were left in the industrial area of Dhaid by their owner, an Egyptian lion trainer, hired for a show in the UAE.

Animal welfare officials from the Ministry of Environment and Water seized the cubs on Thursday night and ordered their transfer to a clinic by yesterday morning to ensure their survival.

Funnily enough my hubby had a white lion cub in cargo bound for dxb on a flight from Jbg recently and when he described the size of the crate god knows how young it must have been

Was the lion club being transported legally?

Well I presume so there must have been export and import papers for it but I just thought that a cub ready to leave its mother would have been in a far bigger crate than the size he described to me
