Buenos Aires, #Argentina
A lion at #Lujan zoo, which hosts animals rescued from circuses, animal trafficking and private collections in Buenos Aires. Losing its main source of money due to the severe effects of pandemic led to the closure of the #zoo. Only the owner and one employee now care for the animals.
Three lion cubs at Yorkshire Wildlife Park after being saved from a war-torn area of Ukraine. Three-year-old Aysa was at a private collection in the Donetsk region when Russian forces invaded. She was alone, malnourished and traumatised by bombings when she was rescued and taken to an interim sanctuary in Kiev where she gave birth to these three cubs
@janerationx@nfl The fact that no statement has been issued by the team makes me think he's either getting cut from the team or suspended by the league
This lioness is being dragged to her death! #CannedHunting is the hunting of captive-bred animals in a confined area from which they cannot escape. The pictures below speak so many words and shows the gruesome, unforgivable pain that these #lions go though everyday! There are around 12,000 lions in captivity, while there are just 3,000 in the wild In #SouthAfrica.
