We are talking about the king of the jungle today. Remember when we were children? Lions were these monstrous and gigantic creatures we would ever encounter.
We are talking about the king of the jungle today. Remember when we were children? Lions were these monstrous and gigantic creatures we would ever encounter. The day we saw these creatures for the first time in the circus, on television or on our course books, or the zoo. By the way, did you like to be at the circus? Or you simply have not supported the idea of trapping the fauna and drag them for human entertainment? It is the comforting story of the circus lions that have learned to move on.
Important
Sasha, Nena and Kimba have never had the wild and free type of life they were born to live. This story grabbed the media attention on how these creatures are amazing and how to keep them in a captive environment affects all their personality. Do you remember when the first time you walk on the grass? Or your first favorite toy? How did it feel happy? Do you think that's as if someone takes these moments far from you, is not it terrible?
Sasha, Nena and Kimba
Lions Sasha, Nena and Kimba lived a life full of struggles. They have never seen the world out of cages unless it was the time of their performance. After all, it's the life of most circus animals, surrounded by cages. How do you think that wild animals can be trained? Using the weapon called "pain". That's how they learn to jump or follow the rest of the orders during the circus shows. It's been a long time since that lived a life in captivity, but they were used to that? No, if you have a chance to live normal life, animals will always take it.
No Exit
Circo Navarro is a popular company of Cirque du Guatemalan for several decades. Sasha, Nena and Kimba have been part of this circus for more than 10 years and there was no way out for these lions. Their moments of freedom were only when the lions used to deal with hundreds of people by supervising and applauding for them. Shortly after their roles, they rushed into their cages. It was all the moments of the joys for them. Rest of the days when they were used to in their cages without doing anything.
So far so common
A circus gains more profit when lions or other wild cats are part of it. Elephants and chimpans add other bonus points to their profits. Most of these animals were born in the circus and have never seen the real world, their jungles, where they really belong. These animals live were about to change because a revolution was a long time to save their lives and many others like them.
Poor cats
Sasha, Nena and Kimba are most likely brothers and sisters, large cats had a difficult life in which their claws have been removed so that they can be easily driven. The process is very painful because their toes are amputated from the first articulation. It is not only painful but also causes permanent injuries. Once they are harmless, they have to go through cruel training sessions to learn circus tricks.
Prolonged debate
This debate has now been over years. There are two types of people who enjoy circus and earn this business, while others who work for animals and support humanity. Previously, no one could even oppose the use of wildlife in circuses, but now has rights to talk about what they feel. The fate of all wild animals trapped in the circus industry was about to change.
A global decision
Many countries have banned the use of wild animals in circuses and the same argument was also happening in America. Following the prohibition of the country of animal acts, the guatemalan circus people must stop using these animals in their events. When the Country of Guatemala has officially forbidden to live animals in circuses, Lions were first held illegally.
Ongoing
In April 2017, the prohibition of Guatemala came into action but nothing really changed for Nena, Sasha and Kimba. The owner of Circo Navarro ceased to use them during the performances of the stage, but they kept the lions enclosed and were kept inside the cages outside the circus near the main entrance. It always helped the circus to attract the public.
Really good news?
In Latin America, the tendency to use the big cats of the circus was pretty trend until people begin to understand the pain of these animals. It may seem like a good news that animals could be free. But that's not all, big cats that remain in captivity for most of their lives can not survive instantly in the jungle. Whereas the poor cats would happen?
Nowhere to go
After the legalization of the prohibition, these big cats had nowhere to go and the wildlife care authorities were aware of that. Although many organizations are interested in maintaining the pair of three big cats, the search started to find a reliable and safe place for them. These animals have already spent a lot of time and the administration wanted to get them out of the horrible circus conditions soon.
A difficult life
As these animals have already suffered from a life of disappointment and suffering, it was very important to provide them with an environment where they could live without fear with freedom. Meanwhile, the authorities were looking for a haven of peace, they were stuck in their mini cages with an uncertain destiny.
Prohibition and more
An organization named international animal defenders (ADI) worked to save these animals for several years. ADI fought a long battle against the circus company to get these animals without these animals. Despite the fact that the law saved these animals, ADI became their real savings. As a result, Adi was the good organization to manage these animals. But the problem was not just with Sasha, Nena and Kimba.
The biggest image
The largest image of the circus industry was more heartbreaking, around 40 wild cats, including cash, cheetahs, tigers and lions. These 40 animals that Adi is in the process to free themselves from circuses. If they succeed, to save all these animals, there will be another country where no animal will be kept in cruel environments for the circus name.
New houses
The defenders of international animals finally got the guard of Nena, Sasha and Kimba and another pair Tanya and Tarzan who had a different owner. All five of them had to be released in a few days, but ADI was not yet ready to take the big responsibility. They had less time and a lot of work to do. Nobody has ever had any idea what these enormous animals were about to give them the most beautiful site of all time.
Build their house
The ADI team built their home, special speakers in a Guatemala rescue center. Soon, the lions were welcomed in the rescue center but their homes were not ready yet. In addition, Adi did not plan to keep them in Guatemala for a long time, which meant that it was a temporary shelter for the Lions group. Before being able to reach any better and permanent place, these animals still had to show their most adorable rescuers.
First grass
Once the animal defenders team took place with temporary lions, this group of five big cats could now stay in a large covered area of grass. Unfortunately, all 5 of them, Sasha, Nena, Kimba, Tanya and Tarzan have never slept on the front grass. Their tiny old cages had cemented the ground and no herb on it. In short, it was a question of being the first time these animals were about to feel the comfort of the grass.
To Sasha's surprise
It was a real grass and the members of the ADI team were very happy to see the response of these animals when walking on the grass for the first time. Sasha was the first to enter his new place and when she did, her pleasure could be seen clearly. Sasha was so glad that after taking a walk and check her new house, she just wanted to ride on the grass.
More than important
Well, you just say that lions are one of their kinds and they like grass. They are on the meadows themselves. Therefore, the grass is not only part of their lives, but their necessity that makes their lives more comfortable and more meaningful.
New crates
Their new caisses were much larger than the oldest. Unlike before, they can stand properly, walk and of course enjoy the comfort of celestial grass. Well, the ADI staff had more plans and exciting gifts for their new members. They planned everything for them, but what they are never expected was the reaction of these big cats to this gift.
New toys
These animals are not just with fresh hay but also toys. Have you ever seen adult lions with toys? We are not talking about tricks that lions usually do in the circus, as you do not know either, they do not make it by choice or having fun in these tips, it is only the public who loves. But this time, no one forced them to do something or show tricks.
Sasha plays
The group of lions fell in love with their new toys at first sight. They received a group of tires playing with and Sasha was the first to get closer to the tire and watch what exactly. Sasha grabbed the tires with his legs before and started chewing, like puppies when their teeth are in a state of growth. It was not all, the reactions of other lions were so incredibly unexpected.
Confused lions
Although Sasha was not frightened at all to take risks, the rest of the lions watched her away as if she does something he never saw before. After 15-20 minutes when they saw Sasha enjoy, the rest of the animals also decided to give their new toys. Kimba was the second lion who reached the tire and his reactions were again more than incredible.
Kimba's reaction
Kimba was the most excited of all. He crossed the enclosure and stopped at his favorite tire. "Take advantage of the feeling of grass under their legs, to freely suspend a tire swing or escape on a haybed - simple pleasures before refused - the real lions characters shine," said Jan Creamer, Animal Defenders International President.
Joy has ended
Tarzan was pretty cautious, he was carefully moved around everything, inspected closely. He remained calm with the grass and showed no joy at the beginning. One day went and Tarzan always keeps him. In the evening of the second day, he behaved like a kitten and jumped around the tire thread.
Even more space
He took them all to become familiar with the place and once they have learned to know where they were the happiest of the ADI. After spending long and difficult time in the circus industry, these animals are finally free. Although they are always linked in the speakers, it's not there they will live too long. ADI has larger projects for them.
Content lions
However, animals are delighted to get this place, but they can get better than they do not know. Although LionsWill not stay in the enclosure for a long time. International animal defenders are working to leave them from South America. The organization works day and night for government approval to move these animals into the new ADI sanctuary opened in South Africa. There was a better thing to do.
Tomas
A good news came in August when the international staff defender was able to save Tomas, brother in Sasha, Nena and Kimba. The people of the circus took Tomas and handed it to a zoo. Unfortunately, the zoo has not been able to take care of the poor cat for too long and that's when Adi took over.
Gathered
Blessed are those who have the chance to bring together andDefenders of international animalsgave this opportunity to Tomas and his brothers and sisters.It was a moment of comfort when Tomas finally made her family. Lions received appropriate regimes and regular health checks were also completed. ADI looks forward to their bright future, Lions are still not prepared at the African Sanctuary.
On the African Earth
Life in South Africa will be much more natural for these animals. A place where they can hunt their food by themselves. For a few months, the lions seemed quite in love with their new place, but the defenders of international animals soon want to move to South Africa. But there is more to the picture.
Budget problems
Transfer 6 animals from one country to another is not an easy task. Money is the main problem. Once the government authorizes the process of transferring these big cats in South Africa, international animal defenders must have enough money for animals to move.
Circus bans
Animal Defenders International is a dedicated organization that has helped to be prohibited in several countries. They have been doing it for a long time. Give wild animals the life they really deserve. Thanks to them, Peru, Bolivia, Guatemala, Colombia, Greece, Macedonia and many European countries have finally banned the use of these animals in circuses. It is not that Adi did it alone, but they were an important and constant part of the whole manifestation.
Long way to Africa
It looks like it will take a lot of time to collect enough money that these animals can be transferred to a permanent home. The process took too much time. But as we say where there is a will, there is a way. Similarly, the organization has seen their way.
A ray of hope
The ADI has found a way to collect more money to transfer these animals. This is not a temporary problem, they save more and more animals from time to time. Therefore, they needed a plan and had a successful plan.
Save more animals
The defenders of international animals were fighting every day for the good of these animals. They saved 9 tigers too. They managed to give them a safe environment in the Tigers for the Sanctuary of Tomorrow and the Rescue Sanctuary of big cats. It was easier than the sanctuaries are in the United States itself.
The sanctuary
The reason for international animal defenders want these 5 lions to live in South Africa are the sanctuary that there are their own. They know the facilities and treatment that each animal is done on the sanctuary. In short, the place is the most reliable. So, everything they needed was the funds to send this family to their new home.
Fly the house of lions
The grandgood.org has come to help international animal defenders with the fundraising party. They opened an account on behalf of Adi to increase higher funds. Once they met the target, they will take these animals at home forever. They deserve a life of freedom.
The biggest change
The 450-acre grasslands in South Africa will be the biggest change in the life of these lions. The area is full of trees, lakes and water holes. A haven of peace for lions. All 7 lions saved by ADI stay together in a group and a shiver these days.
