Six formerly captive lions are enjoying a taste of freedom after international animal welfare organisation FOUR PAWS successfully relocated and released them into their LIONSROCK Big Cat Sanctuary in South Africa.
The transfer of the lions, Kongo, Nora, Neida, Simba, Pregan and Gypsy, marks the beginning of an incredible new chapter in the turbulent lives of these beautiful animals, all of whom had previously led a miserable existence in zoos or circuses. For the past few years, the rescued lions have been kept in the Dutch rescue centre FELIDA, a small facility that FOUR PAWS has been helping in the last year to improve standards and living conditions for the big cats.
The hunt for British Big Cats attracts far more newspaper column-inches than any other cryptozoological subject. There are so many of them now that we feel that they should be archived by us in some way, so we should have a go at publishing a regular round-up of the stories as they come in.
