Shipping young zebra foals to safety on the Big Island of Hawaii

My team and I love being part of these happy stories, and proud that through our work with PAC Gives Back we've been making a habit of carefully shipping endangered animals across the Pacific.” - Tanja Janfruechte, Pacific Air Cargo President & CEOHONOLULU, HI, UNITED STATES, November 12, 2024 /EINPresswire / -- On November 7, 2024, Larson, Elvis and Jerry, three young zebra foals found a safe new home at the Three Ring Ranch in Kona, Hawaii. Traveling first overland to Los Angeles, they were delivered into the care of livestock shipment specialists Pacific Airlift for their air-conditioned flight aboard Pacific Air Cargo's B747-400F, direct to Kona.

Three Ring Ranch Exotic Animal Sanctuary Executive Director, Dr. Ann Goody said,“We are delighted to welcome these beautiful young foals to Hawaii where they will live out their days safely and happily munching in the pasture and enjoying the beautiful view of the bay.”

Getting to Hawaii was not an easy process. Apart from the mountain of regulatory paperwork, their journey involved multiple zebra experts and exotic animal handlers at many different stages as they made their way from being captively bred in a system where they were destined to become a hunter's trophy, to their new home where they will now roam freely and safely.

An elated and grateful Dr. Goody commented,“With the help of so many dedicated people they have escaped that network, and we are forever grateful to everyone who has helped to make this very complex rescue possible. These foals will only know kindness and respect at 3RR.”

Pacific Air Cargo President & CEO, Tanja Janfruechte had no hesitation in offering the company's support when she was first contacted by Dr. Goody. Commenting today, Janfruechte said,“My team and I just love being part of these happy ending stories, and I'm proud to say that through our work with PAC Gives Back we've been making a bit of a habit in recent years of carefully shipping endangered animals across the Pacific.”

Larson, Elvis and Jerry will be joining the sanctuary's resident zebra mare, Patti. It will take a few weeks to settle into their new home before they will welcome visitors but people can follow their journey by visiting the Three Ring Ranch Facebook page for regular photos and updates.
