This afternoon video emerged of a sedated jaguar being dragged out of a warehouse. All kinds of wild and baseless rumors started to fly - including that it was a Chinese store - and that the jaguar was going to be cooked up. We're happy to report that it was all untrue. And the ones responsible for boxing in the jaguar at the CASTILLO HARDWARE warehouse in Hattieville, is man's best friend: a pack of dogs. It happened this morning when The Forest Department and Belize Zoo staff responded this morning to a report about a jaguar that was chased by dogs in the early morning, and dashed inside the storeroom. The property owner then closed the storeroom door capturing the young jaguar - and protecting him from the dogs. The Forest Department and the Belize Zoo then sedated the jaguar with a tranquilizer and transported it to the Belize Zoo. A release from the Forestry Department reports that the jaguar is currently under the care of the Belize Zoo where a comprehensive health assessment will be carried out. It is expected that the jaguar will be relocated to an undisclosed area and collared to closely monitor its movement. And while some may worry about the presence of a jaguar in a community so close to human populations, the Forestry Department says its priority is to promote a balance between human safety and the well-being of the jaguar population. The Department says it will continue to respond to all reports of jaguar and wildlife issues in rural areas throughout Belize. We also note that it is Jaguar Month globally, observed in Belize under the theme "Keep Wildlife in the Wild."
