MIRI: More than 400 endangered animals were rescued during raids carried out by Sarawak Forestry Corporation (SFC) in pet shops in Sibu.

In the raids carried out over the past week, it was found that one even operated an illegal breeding farm producing wildlife for commercial sale.

The raids against these pet shops, which were acting as fronts to sell wildlife for huge commercial profit, saw the rescue of long-tailed macaques, Hill Myna, near-extinct birds like Budgies, Love Birds, Red-Whiskered Bulbul, rare parrots, exotic Cherry Head, exotic Indian Star Tortoises, Red-Footed Tortoises and rare green lizards.

The rescued animals will be sent to the Matang Wildlife Sanctuary in Kuching for rehabilitation and later release into the wild, he added. Members of the public who have information about these wildlife abuses are urged to alert the SFC hotlines immediately.
