The Jaguar is a powerful cat that was often worshipped by many indigenous people in the past. However, terrible human beings have poached the magnificent creature to near extinction. Here\u00b4s a heart-shattering story of an injured jaguar that was admitted to a vet clinic in a dire state. Fortunately, there are some kind hearted people who help restore faith in humanity after all.<\/p>\n

The Call<\/h3>\n

In October 2016, the veterinarian unit of San Francisco de Quito University in Ecuador received a phone call that explained there was an abandoned baby jaguar. The cub\u00b4s mother was nowhere on the horizon and the cub looked helpless. What next for the ill-fated cub?<\/p>\n

The First Rescue<\/h3>\n

The person who called the University tried to collect the cub for examination. Unfortunately, the person was unsuccessful in his quest. Therefore, the University dispatched their own people to get the job done. After finding the cub, they had to make an important decision.<\/p>\n

The University<\/h3>\n

The veterinarian unit of San Francisco de Quito University is a leader in rescuing animals and treating them until releasing them to the wild again. The members of the unit have nursed many wild animals over the years and successfully released them into their natural habitat in the past.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Decision<\/h3>\n

A decision had been made. The veterinarians collectively decided to bring the baby jaguar into the University for necessary treatment. Upon closer inspection and examination at the University, the veterinarians found a shocking revelation.<\/p>\n

Paralysis<\/h3>\n

The examinations proved that the baby jaguar was, in fact, paralyzed in each of its legs. Since it is rare to find wild animals exhibiting any sort of paralysis, the veterinarians decided to give her an X-ray. What would they find next?<\/p>\n

Shocking Results<\/h3>\n

Of course, the baby jaguar needed to be sedated before an X-ray could be taken. Soon enough, the vets got the results and to their horror, found that the baby cub had been shot 18 times. Two of the 18 bullets had ruptured her spine!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Who\u00b4s to blame?<\/h3>\n

It was possible that both the mother and cub had gotten too close to a farm and a farmer had opened fire on them to protect his plantations and livestock. Although the mother had clearly escaped, the cub wasn\u00b4t too fortunate.<\/p>\n

Named<\/h3>\n

The vets decided to name the Jaguar and they called her D\u00fdaira. A surgeon was called in to perform a difficult surgery. The operation was deemed a success. However, the poor cub would still require physiotherapy for an extended period to get back on her feet.<\/p>\n

Telling the story<\/h3>\n

The people at the University Facility thought they needed to share the miraculous story of D\u00fdaira\u00b4s injuries to prevent future similar incidents. Hence, they worked closely with conservation groups to get the story out. They worked tirelessly towards making people aware of the plight of jaguars.<\/p>\n

Jaguars\u2019 plight<\/h3>\n

Jaguars are currently seen as \u00a8near threatened\u00a8<\/em> due to deforestation and the cruel acts of inhumane poachers. The breaking up of forests through encroachment by mankind is also playing an atrocious role in wreaking havoc to their habitat and lifestyle.<\/p>\n

Recovery<\/h3>\n

Although it remains yet to be seen if D\u00fdaira can make a full recovery, there has been positive signs. Currently, she has regained mobility in her legs. However, there is a long way to go before she can walk again.<\/p>\n

Hope<\/h3>\n

D\u00fdaira stands for \u00a8brave Jaguar\u00a8<\/em> in Ecuador. She has become a national symbol of hope and for the need for conservation in Ecuador. We do hope for her full and speedy recovery!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
