Animal Defenders International (ADI) rescued six young lions, known as the “Kuwait 6,” from the illegal wildlife trade. Qatar Airways Cargo played a crucial role in transporting these lions from Kuwait to ADI’s Wildlife Sanctuary in Johannesburg, South Africa. The operation was part of Qatar Airways Cargo’s WeQare Rewild the Planet initiative, which supports the return of wildlife to their natural habitats. The organization’s Senior Translator for Animal Welfare, Alzahra Aljanabi, urged greater awareness to combat the risks of keeping wild animals as pets and the importance of responsible animal handling. Qatar Airways Cargo remains committed to promoting animal welfare by setting high standards in live animal transport and operating in a manner that respects animal well-being.
