PER12746542 ..................................................... The Wild Animal Sanctuary ....................................................................... October 9, 2024. 

The Wild Animal Sanctuary requested 

two permits to import three live jaguars 

and three live tigers from Lebanon and 

Mexico, respectively, due to political 

instability and the threat of warfare in 

the former, and due to severe financial 

difficulty for the partner organization in 

the latter. After assessing the level of 

crisis facing the respective partner 

organizations in Lebanon and Mexico, 

the Service determined that an 

emergency affecting the lives of these 

animals existed, and that no reasonable 

alternative was available to the 

applicant. 

On October 9, 2024, the Service 

issued permits PER12739118 and 

PER12746542 to The Wild Animal 

Sanctuary, to import three jaguars and 

three tigers for the purpose of 

enhancement of the survival of the 

species. The animals will be transferred 

to the Wild Animal Sanctuary where 

they are anticipated to remain for the 

entirety of their lifetimes.
