Somaliland Trafficked Cheetah Cubs Rescued

Eleven cheetah cubs were rescued from illegal trade in Somaliland in what a

conservationist said was “one of the largest confiscations of the species.”



The cubs were packed in bags that resembled (看起來像) sacks of potatoes and

were being transported in a small boat off the Somaliland coast when the

local coast guard intercepted them on Sunday.



Two locals and three Yemenis were arrested during the rescue operation, and

the cheetahs were taken to a rescue center.
