Lions rescued from life of misery
The animals will be transported to a big cat sanctuary
A SHIPMENT of rescued lions from the Ukraine is under the care of the National Council of SPCAs (NSPCA), which has monitored the animals since their arrival at OR Tambo Airport on Wednesday.
Three of the lions were rescued from a life of being kept in a concrete bunker at a zoo, while the fourth was being kept by animal traders.
Back in their homeland, the lions will live out the rest of their lives in a big cat sanctuary in a natural environment which allows them to live as they should.
‘The NSPCA wishes to commend the Earth Organisation for the work they have done to rescue these animals,’ said the NSPCA in a statement.
‘The NSPCA firmly believes that wild animals should not be kept in captivity, but belong in the wild.’
