In a joint statement yesterday, the National Parks Board and two other bodies involved in the operation said the repatriation project represented a “victory against poachers and the illegal wildlife trade”.The animal crime investigation unit of the Animal Concerns Research and Education Society got a tip-off in July last year that two Asian leopard cats, a male and a female, were being illegally kept at a Housing and Development Board unit, the statement said.
The animals were removed from the flat and sent to Wildlife Reserves Singapore’s Wildlife Healthcare and Research Centre at the Singapore Zoo. A veterinary team there conducted a full quarantine check on both leopard cats which included a health assessment, vaccinations and other checks, said the statement from NParks, WRS and Acres.
Dr Sonja Luz, director, conservation, research and veterinary services at WRS, said she was pleased the cats are able to return to the wild.
