The serval Niño is to be euthanized – Noah thunders against the Norwegian Environment Agency – Latest news – news

5 September 2023 at 17:48 Niño the serval is to be killed – Noah thunders against the Norwegian Environment Agency The Norwegian Environment Agency has decided that the serval Niño, which was observed on the run outside Bergen in June, is to be killed. That causes Noah to react strongly. – There are places that specialize in looking after animals like Niño, and Noah now has a concrete collaboration with one of these. That the Norwegian Environment Agency rejects a practical, cost-effective and good solution is reprehensible. We hope they will turn the matter around, writes Siri Martinsen, leader of the animal welfare organization Noah, in an email to NTB. The owner of the animal, a young woman, had the serval illegally imported in December 2021. After it escaped this summer, she was charged with keeping the animal as a pet and for having introduced it to Norway. In questioning with the police, the woman has pleaded guilty. Noah offered this summer to find a solution for Niño and secured a place for the serval at a rescue center in South Africa. Instead, the Norwegian Environment Agency has decided that the serval will be killed.
