Even More Space

It took all of them to get familiar with the place and once they got to know the place they were the happiest of the ADI. After spending long and rough time in the circus industry, these animals are finally free. Although they are still bound in enclosures, that’s not where they will be living for too long. ADI has greater plans for them.

However, the animals are overjoyed to get this place but they can get better which they aren’t aware of. Although, the Lions aren’t going to stay in the enclosure for a long time. Animal Defenders International is working to move them out of South America. The organization is working day and night to get approval from the government to move these animals in the ADI’s new sanctuary opened in South Africa.  There was a better thing to happen.

Tomas

A good news came this August when the Animal Defenders International staff was able to rescue Tomas, brother to Sasha, Nena, and Kimba. The circus people took Tomas away and handed him over to a zoo. Unfortunately, the zoo wasn’t able to take care of the poor cat for too long and that’s when ADI took over.

Reunited

Blessed are those who get a chance to reunite and Animal Defenders International gave this opportunity to Tomas and his siblings. It was a heartwarming moment when Tomas finally made it back to his family. The lions were given proper diets and regular health checkups were done too. ADI is looking forward to their bright future, the lions are still not prepared for the African sanctuary though.

On The African Land

The 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 Animal Defenders International want to move to South Africa soon. But there’s more to the picture.

Budget Issues

Transferring 6 animals from one country to another isn’t an easy task. Money is the main issue. Once the government allows the process of transferring these big cats to South Africa, Animal Defenders International have to come up with enough money to get the animals moving.
