Na aerodromu u Bejrutu jedan drveni sanduk danima je stajao u jednom zabačenom kutku a da nikom od zaposlenih nije palo na pamet da proveri šta se nalazi unutra.
Tek kada je posle sedam dana jedan čovek slučajno čuo cvilenje i mjaukanje, nakon što je otvorio sanduk imao je šta da vidi u njemu.
U sanduku su se nalazila tri izgladnela sibirska tigrića starosti četiri meseca koje je neki zoološki vrt očito poslao u Bejrut.
Ono što su mediji apostrofirali je obrazloženje zaposlenih na aerodromu koji nisu želeli da pipaju sanduk jer ništa na njemu nije pisalo – ni od koga je, ni za koga je.
Tigrići su bili u očajnom stanju – zbog nedostatka prostora jedva su stali na noge, a dok su bili u sanduku obavljali su nužde jedan preko drugog.
STOP BABY TIGERS FROM ENDING UP IN THE BLACK MARKET!OUTRAGED?!?! SHARE this terrible story and help protect these three Siberian tigers.Stuck for seven days covered in their own urine and feces in a tiny maggot infested crate. They were shoved in a crate that was only 42 centimeters high while the animals were about 60 centimeters tall. These tigers were saved from further cruel suffering and possibly death by an order of a judge.They arrived a week earlier on a flight from Ukraine and were supposedly destined to a zoo in Syria.Nothing indicated that the box contained tigers or even live animals, and there were no details of a shipper or receiver. Other than an Air Waybill number, the box was completely unmarked…These four month old tigers are now in Animals Lebanon care. A specialized wildlife vet was flown in to give them all a medical examination. Their paw pads were raw and red from being covered in urine, and were their back legs and thighs. They had not received the proper vaccinations so all three were vaccinated. Only one tiger was found to have a microchip, though documents state that all three should have been microchipped.They are improving – but they are still at risk! Big cats can be worth tens of thousands of dollars on the black market. The owner is fighting to get them back, and we are fighting for the tigers and rule of law.Siberian tigers are protected under the Convention on International Tarde of Endangered Species (CITES). They can only be traded under very specific circumstances, and only when a number of other conditions are met.Officials have already stated that the transport conditions do not meet the regulations of CITES or IATA Live Animal Regulations. The owner, exporter and shipper is one man listed as 'Private Entrepreneur'…Animals Lebanon submitted today our case asking for the animals not just to be seized, but to be permanently confiscated.The Ministry of Agriculture, Judge of Urgent Matters and Customs have all made the right decisions. Now they need a decision to permanently protect them and prevent them from becoming part of the multibillion dollar wildlife trafficking industry!

Libanska organizacija za spasavanje životinja „Animals Lebanon“ saopštila je da su tigrići poslati iz ukrajinskog ZOO vrta Nikolaev u ZOO vrt Samer al-Husainawi u Siriji, ali je taj let bio otkazan a mali sanduk zaboravljen na aerodromu.
Tigrići su i dalje u Libanu ali na sigurnom. Nalaze se u jednom prihvatilištu za životinje gde imaju topli dom i puno mesta za igranje.
