Animals | General: The Ely center will probably order the savannah cat seen in Joensuu to be killed

According to the Ely center expert interviewed by Yle, keeping savannah cats is not allowed.

Ely center will probably order the feline seen last week in Joensuu to be euthanized, says Over.

HS reported last Friday about a case in which a resident of Hammaslahti Pasi Kinnusen the game camera recorded a picture of a spotted, slightly cheetah-like feline.

Supervising veterinarian of the North Karelia Social and Health Services Municipal Corporation Tiia Haukka told HS laterthat the animal recorded on the game camera is probably a savannah cat.

Savannah cat is a cross between an African Serval and a domestic cat.

The serval was classified as an alien species in Finland in 2016, after which it has not been allowed to import, keep, sell or release into the wild. However, owners are allowed to keep pets taken before this until their natural death.

Mightily interviewed by the nature conservation expert of the Ely Center of North Karelia Hanna Keski-Karhun authorities are currently investigating the cat’s species.

If it is a savannah cat, it must be euthanized.

“Keeping Savannah cats is simply not allowed. In practice, quitting is certainly the only option,” Keski-Karhu told Yle.

A feline will not be euthanized if it turns out that it is a permitted pet according to the Alien Species Act. The animal should therefore be legally acquired and born before 2016 or at least a fifth-generation crossbreed, Yle says.
