Following on from my post of 3rd July, I was overwhelmed when I heard the great news that the three lions caged in a French circus for seven years, were now free. Djunka, Nalla and Shala are at the Born Free Foundation Jean Byrd Animal Rescue and education Centre at Shamwari, South Africa. They have gone to a sanctuary where they will share a large natural bush enclosure of several acres and be able to enjoy life under the African sun, something which is a far cry from their tiny beast wagon. Although they will never be able to go back to the wild as they would not be able to fend for themselves, they will receive the highest levels of care from the dedicated team at the Born Free Foundation for the rest of their lives.
I was glad to see GMTV announced the good news this morning - I was in floods of happy tears over my cereal watching them being released; they are such wonderfully proud creatures and they are, at last, where they belong.
