A farm manager was fined Dh10,000 on Monday for trading in endangered animals and plants illegally and abusing animals by failing to care for them and selling malnourished animals.
The Dubai Misdemeanour Court convicted the Dutch manager of importing endangered species, animals and plants, and selling them in the market without being licensed to do so. He was also found guilty of failing to provide proper care which led to the animals being malnourished.
In a ruling that is believed to be uncommon, the court also decided that the endangered species be impounded.
According to Monday’s judgement, the Dutchman violated the Cites (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species) agreement and sold endangered species at a farm in Al Warsan area.
