...and back to despair ! Grrrrrrrr !! What is wrong their problem ? Even Estonia is committing to banning wild animal circuses.

Hopes that the Welsh government would be the first country in the UK to break the deadlock and ban the use of wild animals in circuses have been dashed. Instead of decisive action, a weaker registration system is being considered.

SPEAK OUT BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE! Urge your AM to support a full ban: www.theyworkforyou.com

Coco, Chino and Rolex.

All three were living in a cage the size of a queen sized bed, on bare boards soaked in their own urine on the back of a truck. Their father Leo was in an adjoining cage (inset).

I presume they are still in captivity just a bigger cage and grass beneath their feet and breakfast dinner and tea provided.

Much better than where they were though.

No Fish, they are gradually being returned to the 'bush'. Huge enclosures on a 5000 hectare private estate. They can't go totally back into the wild as they are unable to hunt for themselves , due to claws removed, bad eyesight, head injuries, most had their teeth smashed (poor Leo had all his teeth smashed) and blindness, plus they never learnt to hunt. So they are being gradually introduced into their groups and then released into the 'wild' which is enclosed for their security too. The lions know where to receive their food once everyday , and at what time and that is all the human contact they may have now. Unless vets are needed etc.
Good isn't it ? All a dream of a 16 year old whose father died and left her and her mother living on this huge estate. She wanted to save the lions. Not open to the public or any tourists, purely donations and fund raising.

Happy Christmas to The Cusco Family.



It took two ADI rescue missions in Cusco, Peru, involving armed SWAT teams and riot police, to rescue lions Rey, Kiara, Smith, Amazonas, Mahla and Scarc. Now the pride, that once lived in tiny circus cages on the backs of trucks, are together in the African bush. Their wonderful habitat is part of a huge ADI construction program at Emoya Big Cat Sanctuary, South Africa. The lions have over 5 acres of pristine, natural bush, with self filling waterholes and platforms.

For anyone still interested in the 33 Lions, this is the link to Emoya Big Cat Santuary.

You don't have to be a member of Facebook. Just click 'not now' when the FB thing comes up and you can view the videos. When one finishes there is an arrow to the right or left of the last frame, which will take you to the next video. They regularly put up videos of the big cats, to show how they are doing.
The noisy one is Ricardo, with one eye, he has to have an enclosure more suitable to his needs.

Lion numbers are in devastating decline, conservatively measured at a 43% loss over the past 21 years, with 59% in East Africa alone. West African population estimates identify a mere 400 individuals. What little habitat remains (8% of lions’ historic range) is increasingly divided. Ongoing and increasing threats such as habitat loss, a loss of prey species, retaliatory killing and trafficking of lion bone are having a detrimental impact.

sponsors for bringing two more lions back to Africa. Just to show how after a week, and many donations of only £5 and £10 has achieved over half the air miles needed. Updated every day, with the names of new donors added onto the list.
It's all good stuff and pretty exciting. There will be live coverage when they are transported in March sometime.
