"Never done wrong by thier animal"
Puma is laying there with chains around it's neck
Devoted Cetacean 💀💀💀💀
Mufasa died in 2015.
@@queenravenzholywater8162 how. this video is in 2016
AlexTheNut11 Maybe the actual video is older and they released this later?
Wtf would do that
"Like my family". Do you keep your kid in a cage ?
Is there a chance your kid might kill you if he has the slightest sign of a bad day
Dumb ass statement! Theres nothing wrong with having animals in cages here and there. You people write these statements for likes !
@
Are you mad!!! How could you say such things "nothing wrong with having animals in cages."
How can a man have such a cruel heart, repent of thy sin, for animals belong not to us men but to God.
Would you like it if you spent all your life in a small cage. you wouldn't like it, so nor would wild animals either, last time I checked the only difference between men and animals is that there sophisticated, intelligent and have complicated emotion.
@@astroxturbo815 when we had a dog as a child he would rip shit apart at night so he went in a cage at night and omg it was the worst thing ever !!! The world almost stopped and the heavens and hell rained down fire among us
@@astroxturbo815 and as we speak my 7' boa is in a cage and oh the cruelty!!!!!
"They're losing something that they're fond of."
Yeah they're losing their money makers.
@@TheKaijuGamer_ LMFAO OH COME ON YOU CANT BE SERIOUS HAHAHAHAA
TheKaijuGamer2003 LMAOOOOO
Holla Gemini it’s true you have to look at in both ways these animals are what make these families money yes it is cruel and sad for the animals
nimesh udamulla they can try by not hurting something for their benefit
Their bosses making money. Apparently they're treated like slaves too therefore explains the bond they develop with the lions
"They never mistreated it"
*is poking it with a stick and yelling at the tiger* yeah okay.
They all lie.
and idk which Carnaval but there was one clip where a man was seen punching a blue tarp,maybe with an animal behind it.
@@badawg123
No doubt; these people have no respect for animals.
This planet is not for humans alone, share, respect and coexist.
James Sunnixx haha so glad we have animals an not just
Fully agree. I can't see why this simple and true concept is so difficult yo understand
Fuck dat bitch get dunked on nigga
Yes!💙
It's for humans
The lion whipping from side to side because he couldn't move in this tiny cage made me so sick...
Thank you for getting them out there 💔😣
Suzi C. I hate Spanish people
SAD racist
D T thanks bro
SAD I hate racists.
D T and why are you giving advice to this SPED? He’s obviously an attention seeker. He needs no compassion.
Lion: *screams from the depths of hell*
ADI employee: "it's like a fairytale!"
🤣🤣
"Like my family"....hmm...then why is the tiger malnourished? YOU look like you've been eating a little TOO well.
Not anymore. Native American tribes tend to store fat more than Europeans dipshit.
Paul D what are you talking about
These poor animals are malnourished, so throw those monsters into the cages with the lions and give them a good feed.
Who cares where they're from. The issue is how they have treated these animals and getting them freed.
Those kids crying are too young to realize the value of freedom. They'll realize eventually.
They’re crying because their families are losing their livelihoods and probably gonna end up in extreme poverty
"value of freedom" hahaha u be trying to sound like if u know about it XD
@Kaiser Isaiah Foo the kids didnt capture the lions
@Kaiser Isaiah Foo ok?
The kids probably thought of the lions as pets or were confused and that’s why they were crying
"If you love something, set it free." ---Some Hopeless Romantic
true
If it comes back, it was meant to be.
Just not a pet into the wild.
They love animals soo much that they forgot to love their own race. They are setting them free to keep them in a sanctuary
Wasn't it Sting who said that?
They’re crying and saying goodbye to their money makers
Might want to feed them to the their moneymakers.
Stop stealing jokes
blondieshshrimp2 it’s not a joke, it’s the truth but it’s just being said over and over lol
@@MsTinkerbelle87 ok boomer
@Kermit Da Frog Oof no you
These aren’t dogs or cows they are wild animals, wtf is wrong with these people that keep them caged and act like they’re pets.
You should keep in mind that dogs or cows shouldn't be caged too
K.Kalpana Domestic animals are completely different. They cannot survive in the wild, hence often being contained. Do not set domestic animals free, that is usually a harsh death sentence for them.
@@callista6813 I completely agree.I just think it's cruel to cage them.
K.Kalpana It depends. Sometimes animals need to be caged for safety. There’s a difference between cruel negligence and crate training though.
@@callista6813 I meant that dogs and cows shouldn't be caged cuz they're the only 2 animals mentioned in the comment.
We need more people like this in the world.
Preach!
@john moore new laws wont stop people laws along with inforcement of those laws is what makes a law work. No police means no change.
@Jamie Nelson well did u even read my comment because i said exactly what to do if its too domestic dimwit read before you speak good rule of thumb. Lol 😂
I don't feel bad for these families losing their animals, they don't Care about these animals!! im so happy that there are people who really care and fight for these animals!
they were clearly sadistic morons and these animals were kept as slaves as in any other damn circus with animals where they regularly have been abused,i hope they also bring these bastards to justice.
@Jamie Nelson Quit the shitty rants...
@Jamie Nelson Any wild animal forced to travel in a circus is considered abuse. Period.
@Jamie Nelson I am 52 years old. I had a friend who worked in circuses and he quit when he saw how the animals were treated
@Jamie Nelson I'm not a vegan. You are a freak
I hate circuses i feel so sad about those animals who are abused
There’s nothing like the roar of a lion.
The roar of a free lion
Hi
@@cookie4578 true
am glad there's people tha8t wanna help stop this and help them live a normal life as possible
You don't abuse the animals? Chained and living in the back of a truck is not abuse? Malnourished as well. If that's how you treat a "family member", I'm glad I'm not in your family. It's long over due but time to give up the poor animals.
Debbie Sides there sick sick people and to have the audacity to yell back their not abusing them
marie kr I know. They're so unbelievable. So glad the baby was rescued.
Rationalization is an easy process
They're poor people though, they can't afford the luxury for themselves and their circus animals but then again those animals are the true victims that somehow ended there. Very tragic.
ikr, when I was a child, I was an irresponsible one. One day I kicked my dog because he doesnt want to shut up (barking at my friend), and I regret it deeply. Of course it doesnt hurt him badly (physically) and still I called it abuse. Now he passed away (years after that incident) due to unidentified sickness (old age I guess)... I still regret my action that year...
“He’s part of the family”
Do you lock your siblings in cages too?
These fools are crying that they're gonna loose the animals. That's the exact same way the animals also cried when they were captured in the wild and kept in those filthy tiny cages. Women are crying here not for the love towards the animal but because of their mode of income has come to end
the people who frees the animals are the ones who truly are heroes!
how ignorant of some humans who think that these wild animals are their family. poor, poor animals but a huge big thankyou to the people who work so dam hard to ensure that these animals are back where they belong.
are you fucking kidding me? The purpose of this is to SAVE the animal, to make him comfortable, feed him properly and let him have a happy life. If theres money involved for the people rescuing them well thats fucking great! many more people will want to save these poor defenseless animals :(
they dont, peruvians are fucking liars, they say whatever they need to try to get aout of a situation
@Jamie Nelson You sound like a disgruntled person affiliated with the circus business. Your multiple rantings on this video are rubbish. Leave wild animals alone.
Poppy Saunders
They don't. They just say that thinking it will stop people from seizing the animals and taking away their income source.
Jamie Nelson getting WILD animals to perform for you is abuse. They are supposed to be free. Not stuffed in small cages and forced to do tricks. They are not domesticated and belong in the wild. And what Peter organization?
Thank you ADI for giving these animals the life that they deserve. Shame on those circus owners for saying that they are part of their family when you can clearly see those animals are abused and neglected. Putting a chain on an animal is not part of the family. Those circus owners are just mad because their money makers are gone.
The lion in Afghanistan Zoo should be saved urgently before he faces death like the lion Marjan. Please go save them.
Nachos Time people in Afghanistan need help more than this damm lion are we at a point where animals are more important????
@@talalalnasseralkhalidi2537 why? Is a lion not a living being? Doesn't he feel pain, hunger and fear just like humans? Was he not created by Allah? Wtf is wrong with you Muslim people? Worshiping yourself not Allah. You pray 5 times per day to go to paradise, you don't do that for Allah, only for yourself, otherwise you will care and respect what Allah has created.
@@talalalnasseralkhalidi2537 humans have a brain which works way better than most animals, if they can't take care of themselves than they should not make children and than ask for help to feed them. You are such a fool.
Btw I am a muslim too and I love and respect what Allah has created.
@Ted Carruthers stop with your bullshit kido, and why you are replying to me? Because I believe in God? don't terrorize me and push your believes on me.
It's been illegal for like 15 years here in Norway
@Jamie Nelson so all animal rights organisations are hugely wealthy and have spare cash for bribes? Deluded or what. Animal only circuses are slowly & rightly dying out world wide because of increased awareness & non acceptance of the cruelty involved . I've signed two online petitions alone this week re caged, malnourished circus tigers. Each one was in 6figures with worldwide signatures after just a few days. (Care 2 Petitions.com).
Jamie Nelson grow up you fool. Even if that were true then it’s still a good thing! It’s stopped the animals being expoloited in some dumb circus hasn’t it? Dick head,
Well Made Bread keeping Lions and such has, but other animals? No. Elephants, as an example, has been allowed in Norway. But I think its fullt banned now
Rocky Dans thank u for putting this “fukwit” in his place😂🙏🏼
Wow im so glad
Abused for years, these beautiful animals get live to the rest of their lives safe & happy. Poor things probably think they died & are now in heaven.
THOUSANDS of animals were put down as the result of this. The pendulum has swung too far and Mexico has acknowledged it went too far now but it is far too late for thousands of animals now.
@Jamie Nelson
Hold on there, where's YOUR proof?
You've probably been manipulated by those who try to expose PETA.
Also, what the freak does their comment have to do with PETA? Your literally going off and making yourself looke like a fool.
@Jamie Nelson are you joking! Any animal tied, chained and caged like that is abused!! They are forced through fear to perform! They are not animals that like to perform for their owners like dogs or some parrots.
Thank God there are still human beings like that left in this heartless world we are living today.
Keep up the wonderful work and God bless each and every one of your lives and families.!!!
4:53
The owners probably watched a lot of Lion King and decided to name the Puma Mufasa
yeah lol
Thank-you so much for rescuing these animals!!!!!!
Big cats in chains make me sad
i agree a top predator treated worse than a rat.
@Jamie Nelson the puma was chained in the back of the truck. Did you not see the lack of hair where the harness had sat, after it was removed? I think you should watch the video again
@Jamie Nelson never said they were. he/she just said big cats in chains make her/he sad.
Animals in chains should make you sad.
@@cookiecutter344 So are many dogs...
Good on Peru i say. Great to see them proactively upholding the law on this....👌🏻❤️
If they're saying the Tigers part of the family then why is it in the cage being poked and prodded At.
It's Good to see that there is GOOD IN THE WORLD.
Sharon Kelly -- Perhaps he should have taken the short cut and not create such flawed humans! But what does he care as long as they sing his praises...
There is not they are just moved to a bigger cage
@@BarbaraManor What are you talking about? Why are you bringing "Him" into this?
@@thejack9178 No....they're moved to temporary cages to help them adjust, get medical treatment etc....then they're put in their own territory with plenty of land & a place to be lions. Are they contained? Yes, but they're not caged. It's the best possible outcome, considering humans took away their ability to live completely free.
@@isitoveryet9525 they are in a prison then, and far from free! They should be in the wild were they belongs!
That man and woman are TRUE HERO'S. May God bless them with the strength and the ability to always fight this fight. Amen.
When they took the animals from South America to africa did anyone else get Madagascar movie vibes
No only me, ok
Me
I searched madagascar circus rescue and i got this
Those were beautiful sanctuaries!! 😍
Ikr! I’m soo happy those animals are saved!!❤️
those people who abused these animal should be the ones to do circus stuff not these poor thing 😢😭😭😭😭😭
im so happy there's people out there who are so amazing thank you very much 💗💜💜💞💖💖💖💖
Being in a circus is ANIMAL ABUSE, "stupid".
Yes they do!!! They do horrible things to make them timid. So shut the fuck up!
Way to go sister! 😄
Zachary Thomas I do believe these people were abusing them to an extent . They had to do something to make them behave how they are. I do believe they've grown a love for the animals who have helped them provide for their family . They are scared because they just lost their income. Which is scary . Hopefully something else comes along . I am happy they are free now though. They are happy now.
I totally agree with you.
Animal Defenders International, love them and I'm making a donation!

@Jamie Nelson Of course there is abuse in circuses.
@Jamie Nelson You apparently have not seen the videos I have of animals in circuses being abused. If you are truly concerned that this is a scam you could check it out. I love animals and I don't just give to anybody. Animals are definitely abused all over the world and not just in circuses.
Like family? I don't see her kids chained locked up in a cage 🤔
5:15
They said while there animal is chained so bad and he looks so tired
I always wondered how large animals were transported from another country. I'm glad you rescued them. :)
@Jamie Nelson It literally said they were to be transported to Africa. Please, try not to be such a dumbass when you go on long rants trying to insult people.
They were probably transported as cubs
The feeling those animals get when they're finally released into their true nature must be the same feeling i get once i get home from school
That's not true, lions learn to hunt while growing up next to their mothers, they learn watching them, those lions never learnt to hunt anything, they don't know how to do it. We're not talking about killing a goat inside a cage, they'll be alone in the wild needing to hunt strong and smart animals that already know lions very well. Also, a lot of those circus animals had their theet and claws removed, so they stand no real chance to survive.
@Jamie Nelson no theyre being abused, those animals are obviously malnourished. And dont compare them to domestic dogs and cats, and, there are also people who abuse dogs and cats and they all deserve to be rescued from their bullshit owners. now quit ranting
Wow Jamie, thanks for showing up your ignorance. How can you even compare a lion or a tiger to a dog or cat? These are WILD ANIMALS. Dogs and cats have been domesticated for centuries, these animals were not. They belong in the wild or at least a sanctuary that assimilates their habitat.
School was a prison to me too
Okay when that tiger walked through the woods, I cried 😭❤️👏
I am so glad these animals will have a better life now
How incredibly heartwarming to see those lions when they finally touch down on freedom from abuse and rolling in the grass and loving life. I loved the lions enjoying life piece atv the end of this clip.
All lions look so different: each one has a unique face, hair, movements
other people: *think puppies and kittens are cute*
me: *thinks lions and tigers are cute* (not that puppies and kittens aren't cute)
Well, have you seen little lions as a baby? That's super cute!!!
You haven’t seen anything until you see a jersey cow calf
no um, obviously?
@@oo-ts5hf dangerous is cute
OMG !me 2
I went to one circus as a little kid and never went to another and i'm 45 now
Andrea P, the animals always look so abused, I remember at a young age riding on the camels, they looked so tired. I think bonding over the love of animals is an ageless activity, I’m so glad these people are spreading light upon the situation.
Thank god for these people that save these magnificent majestic animals! Thank u so much!
It is time for ADI to take on the state of Texas. Sadly because the US Congress refuses to pass laws making private ownership of big cats illegal in this case Bengal tigers sold online, each state will have to be dealt with. Winning in Texas would make other states fall like dominoes as Texas has more tigers in private ownership than tigers left in the wild estimated at 3500. Only India has more in this situation than Texas. Interestingly most owners are already in violation of Texas law which requires you to permit your tiger so inspections can be done of their habitats. Only 47, yes out of thousands, only 47 permits have been issued for ownership outside of zoos and sanctuaries. It's time to save Texas' tigers!
I lived in india for 6 years and tigers are still in zoos it is so sad but there are also a lot in the wild
Dee Marie Dubois stfu
they still have road exhibits that include exotic animals in distress.
@@davycrockett2102 are you an idiot?
Disgusting!
They more like crying for the money as they see animals as their assets. Love? Not so much. They aren’t in poor condition but love is far from that.
33 lions! That’s just amazing.
Breaks my heart to see them caged! Sadly with teeth forcefully pulled out and declawing of these beautiful creatures they will never survive in their natural natural wild environment but at least an animal sanctuary will give them some enjoyment in their final days!!! I actually cried seeing them walk out of the cages! Yaaa for them
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😭😭
I LOVE YOU!!!!!
Creative Catastrophe me too cried throughout the whole vdo😭😭😭😭
What an extraordinary story, moving, and yet, elements of the Born Free saga. This would be an ideal modern movie update on the theme.
God bless all, including the Peruvians.
Jesus fucking christ, what do you have against lesbians? Ive seen you call people "lesbians" like its an insult. Who hurt you?
"They're my family" Ahem lady, nobody does that to their family!
I feel so bad that I didn't understand their situation when I was a child. As an animal lover and now an adult, it broke my heart when I began to 'get it', beginning with zoos. No animal should be pinned up like that. God bless these people for their dedication. I was also so happy when whales were outlawed in water parks. It was like they were swimming in a small sink, compared to their size. 🙁
Sadly, the tiger Hoover who was featured in this story died this month due to health issues. While he had a hard life, at least for the last few years he was able to have a wonderful life at the Big Cat Rescue sanctuary.
Hoover is alive and well at Big Cat Rescue in Tampa FL as of July 2018. bigcatrescue.org/hoover
Hoover is not dead.
Sadly too many cruel people need to be caged with the rest of the bullshit artists
who killed the tiger 😲is it alive or dead
@@rajanrajan-ie5js, if you are talking about Hoover tiger, don't worry, he is alive and well at Big cat rescue in Tampa, Florida. Go check, you'll be relieved 🐯
Not every situation of neglect has evil people behind it. Sometimes it's normal people who might genuinely care about the animal but just aren't fit to be caretakers.
Feel bad for the people but glad for the animals going to a better living situation
D T WILD animals are not supposed to be locked up in cages and put on show for entertainment no matter how you treat them. There’s no way in hell a WILD animal would like to be put on show like that every single day of their lives. Your comment comes from a lot of idiocy and ignorance. What would have been NICE is if these people were put in the same circumstances these poor animals were put in. I’m not gonna even go too far with you. Cause you’re probably just some kid who knows very little about pretty much everything.
D T I’m not spreading negativity. Im spreading facts. It’s not my fault if you don’t like the way they are presented to you. I wish you could be “mature” enough to actually analyze what I am saying instead of being butthurt over me being “rude”. Me saying that you are a child is actually giving you the benefit of the doubt, because I would hope an adult isn’t being this ignorant tbh. But if you can’t actually comment on the topic at hand then I feel like conversation would be useless with you...
ShadowGale you’re fucking ridiculous stfu
I cannot thank all of you enough for what you are doing. For ABC covering the story and allowing the animals voices to be heard all over the world, to the men and women putting themselves at risk to go and save these animals from horrible situations. And of course for the sanctuary's for taking in these animals and giving them the lives they could only dream of outside of the wild they can never see. Thank you all, from the bottom of my heart. You are true hero's.
it brought me great joy to see these majestic creatures returned to their natural habitat God bless you for doing this work
I love it! No more animals in captivity.
You realize they're just moved from one cage to another, right? Except the people who stole them from their family are somehow heroes while they knowingly put people through hard times, taking away their income, they are probably starving now.
Yessss I love seeing tigers being released it make me happy
I feel nothing for these freaks only the animals and I would save the animals over any of these people’s lives !!!
I love this so much!!!
hi
ASLAN IS THAT YOU
I love Lions so much, Cats in general but Lions so much.
God bless the rescuers 😭❤
Wonderful, i love these people who have a big heart for the animal world, as i have.
May God bless these two people (husband and wife), who's life's mission is to rescue these animals. Huge hearts ❤

Oh yes. The human population is around 7 billion people. Surely we're on our last leg lol.
We are in the last days, even the bible says 'the good man is kind to his animals''.
@@fishbuddy547 It is exactly the "success" of humanity that will lead to our downfall. Already, in order to feed these numbers we have resorted to monoculture farming on a massive scale to such an extent that the numbers of insects around the world are decreasing at an alarming rate; Germany has already lost 75% of its insects since the seventies. Now people may not care about insects but agriculture and plant life are dependent upon insects for most pollination. It is becoming increasing accepted that the next mass extinction on the planet is about to commence, and within 50 years or less 80% of all extant species will have become extinct. We need to make sure that we aren't one of them!
@@noneofyourbeeswax01 we should be one of them
These people are wonderful what they are doing with their lives they are making a difference in an animal's life. Just think of it what if you were born a lion or a tiger or an animal that is caged up how would you feel you never know what is in store for you. Choses what you are I could have been born an animal and I could have been in a cage but I was born a human being I wish I could do something to help out I would go to work for people like them and do my services for free
This is so heartbreaking and I agree enough is enough set these animals free this video was very hard to watch without crying it breaks my heart what these animals go through thank you to everyone involved in rescuing these beautiful creatures of God
I am so moved by this I am in tears
To see these magnificent beast finally find happiness is a blessing...
To the people who rescue them you are TRUELY angels of earth...
God bless all of you
God bless these people who rescued them. Worthy human beings.xx
Thank you 1 million times over. These beautiful cats and other lovely animals deserve the respect of freedom.....😍
These people are hero’s I’m so glad some one is helping these poor animals. Thank you so much
I’m so happy these type of people exist
This was amazing! The deeper in the video got,the more I got pulled in. I loved seeing them rescue them from those horrible people,and free them into some really nice cages! Thank god for these people!
Hopefully, the sanctuary will remain funded. There are sanctuaries in the states where well meaning people take in all kinds of animals from domestic to wild then can no longer care for them. Better than the circus I guess.
Big Cat Rescue is very well funded, and is ethical, and dedicated. Well deserving of your money, if you'd like to support them.
This makes my heart melt
I knew a family friend who used to have a lion who lived in a renovated barn with a big fenced in yard, it was pretty cool to see as a kid. I visited the guy with my family a bunch, I actually was able to pet her and she was like a house cat. I saw inside the barn once or twice and it had these platforms leading up to the loft and I’m quite sure there was a ball hanging from the rafters and some heavy duty dog toys on the ground. There was a lot of hay up in the rafters, I think that was her where her bed was, but I don’t really know. She seemed to be happy, I very clearly remember playing fetch with her every time I visited. I’m pretty sure it was illegal for the dude to keep her but he never was caught. I know she passed away when I was 14 and I knew he had her before I was born so I’m guessing she was around 17/18 when she passed. The last time I saw her she was the same, still nice and playful. I really hope she had a good life, maybe not as good as it could have been if she lived in the wild but I at least hope she was happy. She never looked skinny and I knew she always had water, so I’m sure he fed her well. She wasn’t ever aggressive so at least she wasn’t hungry. I feel guilty for not telling anyone about her, but then again, I was a kid. I thought it was just so cool that I got to see a loin up close. I don’t know if I should feel guilty or not, but at least the guy never had any other exotic pets. I never plan on getting a lion either, I think I’ll stick with my plain ol’ house cat.
Gullible Lol I know, but I posted it because I wanted to. UwU
Bravo to ADI and all the people involved..for all they do to help animals in need...I pray one day that all zoos and circuses will no longer have wild animals and will be gone for good..."Animals are not here for out entertainment.."....they are here with us not for us
EVERYTHING GOD MADE, HE MADE FOR US, LIKE THE OXEN to plow the field, grazing animals like sheep. cows, but predator carnivores like lions and wolves etc. have no use for us and are to be left in the wild.
How can any human treat an animal or any living thing this way I will never understand.
Thank you for dedicating your life to saving the lives of these beautiful creatures.
Dreams do come true! So happy for these magnificent creatures! They finally have the life they deserve! Great job Animal Defenders International!
You people are amazing. Thank you for saving these animals. What a legacy.
Three years since this post and we're still loving it. Thank you for rescuing these animals and for the work you do educating local communities that this type of treatment is not ok.
thanks for saving them. seeing them free is priceless
Hoover is doing so amazingly well at Big Cat Rescue 🐾♥️
thank you for rescuing these beautiful animals, they deserve their freedom
OMG I love this!!! You guys covered the whole process
Thank God for people like you...your heroes in my eyes.
People got a lot to answer for but you people gotta keep doing what you do bless you all so much for restoring the dignity to these innocent beings xxx thank you

This is awesome. No more caged or controlled animals for human entertainment.
Hoover was such a sweet heart, i'm glad he got to live out the rest of his life at Big cat rescue in Florida. I had the honor of seeing him when i visited the sanctuary during a Christmas trip, i'm glad i got to meet him before he passed.
Thank God for people like you and your wife to get these beautiful animals and bring them home
made me cry...so happy for the animals
God bless you ADI keep up the great job 💋👼
Thanks to the brave men and women with their determination and love for animals that make their lives happy from the day they rescue them .
So so grateful to you great kind people .
Thank you,... I was desperate to see such moves.
Every country must passed such law👍
Those circus owners are so ridiculous! That poor jaguar was chained and so skinny! If that is not abuse,tell me what is an abuse!!!
The owners should be treated in the same way! Thanks to those volunteers! They are angels!
It's lack of education and complete poverty that causes here issues they can't get jobs because there's no education and they live in poverty
