Set Free At Last!

The International Animal Welfare charity Four Paws rescued 2 lions (Zac and Donna)  and 2 tigers (Lina and Harun) from a Romanian zoo! When Four Paws walked into the animals' cages they could see two tigers pacing in front of the bars on cracked concrete. The pool was  half-filled with grey-green water, and was so dirty you couldn't see the bottom. The worst part is that was where the tigers drank and bathed. Past them the lions were in a similar cage that smelled of stale urine and mixed with other animals.
“I’m happy to see them go,” says Ovidiu. “They’re in a terrible situation in a concrete cell that’s too dark because there is no access to proper light.
"The cages are too small. They have not been mistreated but in the wild a lion roams a territory of 400 metres squared.
“They are fed chicken which isn’t good because of the small bones, and they lack nutrients and vitamins because in the wild they eat their prey’s organs.
“It just isn’t a proper way to keep wild animals and they are in terrible condition. It is awful to think they’ve been trapped here for so long.”  I agree, it isn't fair for big cats like lions and tigers to be kept in such terrible conditions for so long. They deserve to roam and be free and live the way they want to live. Being cramped up in a small cage wont do them any good.  Four Paws then took the four cats to Lionsrock Sanctuary where they will live out the rest of there lives freely. These lions and tigers have never felt grass before, they have lived on concrete floors for all their lives. But the director of Lionsrock said it was rewarding watching the lions and tigers take their first steps into freedom. "The stench of the Romanian zoo wafts from the crate but, thankfully, that is all that remains of his previous life."
