The force on Wednesday had arrested two men for ill treatment of the animals, confiscating 15 giraffes that had been imported from Africa at a safari-resort on the south coast of Rio de Janeiro, police said in a statement.
"In addition to this crime, the investigation will continue with the aim of determining the circumstances and legality of the importation of the animals, as well as the conditions of maintenance and care of the giraffes," added the federal police. The entity assured that having brought these specimens to Brazil is part of a long-term"important preservation strategy", which served to save other animals such as the tamarin monkey, the golden lion and the blue macaw.
