New Rescue 24-06-2010 Share |
Ena, a six month old female lion cub, was confiscated from a French circus. She arrived safely at the sanctuary at midnight on 24-06-2010 and was released into her enclosure at first light the following morning. Ena was kept in horrific conditions and was discovered hidden underneath a circus horse trailer in a wooden box (pictured below), where she had been kept prisoner for most of her short life.
Ena is settling in well, below are pictures of her release.
Her rescue was made possible by the following organizations: Foundation Assistance Aux Animaux and the Bridget Bardot Foundation. We are also most grateful to Elizabeth Elstob, who generously sponsored the construction costs of Ena's enclosure. Special thanks must also be given to Animal Travel Services (www.animal-travel.com/) and Havillam Abrahams from Highmoor Freight who once again assisted with the import free of charge.
