Did you not read the description? She was rescued from bombings in Ukraine so is that where she belongs instead? Being bombed? Or out in the wild where wild lions would almost certainly kill and eat her?
@@vvelvettearss I think you misunderstand the intended meaning of the word belong. The word can have two meanings. Belong can either, as you interpret it, mean _current_ _or_ _recent_ _home_ .

I read or heard somewhere that she can see other lions at the Sanctuary. Hopefully, one or more of the other rescue lions will join her eventually. According to an item on the news featuring BCS, the hope is that the rescue lions may form a mini pride if they get on❤

19th November 2024…. It’s my birthday, 70 yrs old today… in a flood of tears…and from a time where most if not all humans had different ideas about keeping animals captive. … Ohh man, just how could we, what were we thinking about back then. Just how dumb and stupid were we…and in a lot of ways still are? My tears are not tears of sorrow, no matter how many rivers of tears I weep in sorrow it won’t change a thing. My tears are tears of pure joy for awesome Yuna… you go girl…you go and be free….folk know your fears, worries, trepidations nowadays. Take as long as you need sweetheart, this is about you and it is about some of us saying sorry to you for what we put you through. I sincerely love all you guys for doing right by Yuna and all the hard work you do in protecting and releasing all captured creatures like her. Thank you so very much ❤❤❤. Xxx
this hurt my heart and warmed my heart at the same time. The timidness and fear in her shows she has had some pretty severe living circumstances. My prayer for her now is to live a life without fear, free to roam and smell and experience the sun and some joy.
OMG! She finally got rescued! Hurray! Thank you for giving her a better life. She went through hell in the Ukraine! I could watch this video over and over again!
So glad to see Yuna safe in the UK away from all the bombs that traumatised her. Many thanks to the BIg Cat Sanctuary and everyone who helped rescue her. Hope the other lions will be able to join her soon.
Before I read that she had been rescued I culd see that she was somewhat weakened & clearly traumatized. She is still in a cage, though it is a larger one. I wish for her a normal lion life. Thanks for the rescue.
Gosh, i had to watch this 3 times as i couldnt see it properly thru my tears. Thankyou BCS for rescuing this poor baby. I have been to the sanctuary and bless you for all you do for the cats.
She seems overwhelmed by the experience of being free. What a beautiful lioness, poor thing, she hasn't been free for so long. Thank you for giving her a chance.🦁🦁🦁
Gawd she is so beautiful. It’s heartbreaking to see such a powerful animal be so scared and timid but it makes my heart soar to know she’s starting a new life. ❤
The expression on her face touched my heart, stop blaming anyone for the treatment of this animal, we are all guilty and we are all justified, we are all one!
This made me cry when I read rescue lioness I have a 8 yr old cat and she was rescued when she was a kitten someone abused her so when I took her in she was afraid of everything even “hands” I left her alone for a while just so she could adapt to her new environment and eventually she came around and we were inseparable she’s still a bit timid being around people but has came along way I wouldn’t give her up for the world
How, at the end of the video, she went back inside her enclosure where she felt safe, and laid down on her back, just made me incredibly sad. Best wishes for this lioness.
Cat Sanctuary. Fighting the good fight for big cats for a long time. Respect. And Yuna is a beautiful girl. The questioning intelligence in her eyes gets me right in the feels.
She is adorable at the end of the video laying on her back with her paws up in the air. It will be even better when she does it outside on the grass in the sunshine! 😸
Lions!! The iconic apex predators suffering in so many ways thanks to human activities and desires. Soooo good to see her going back to her self and into nature. Thanks BC and all your supporters for this result ❤❤❤

Take as long as you need sweetheart, this is about you and it is about some of us saying sorry to you for what we put you through. I sincerely love all you guys for doing right by Yuna and all the hard work you do in protecting and releasing all captured creatures like her. Thank you so very much ❤❤❤. Xxx
Happy Birthday darling 💓 💘💜🫶👐🙋♀️🦁🌳🐦🪺🍃🍂🍁🍦🍰🎂🌏🌈✨️ I agree 👍 💯 BLESSINGS SWEET SOUL.. love from new Zealand 🇳🇿 🌹
Oh my goodness, seeing her curled on her back and just enjoying that rest is medicine for a sick world.💖✨
It’s quite moving trying to imagine the thoughts that must be going through her mind.
Shes gorgeous and she'll be happy ❤
Bless her I hope she happy in her new safe home
Tears of joy and sadness, joy for her finding a whole new world, sadness for her and other captive animals who have never experienced freedom. ❤️
this hurt my heart and warmed my heart at the same time. The timidness and fear in her shows she has had some pretty severe living circumstances. My prayer for her now is to live a life without fear, free to roam and smell and experience the sun and some joy.
OMG! She finally got rescued! Hurray! Thank you for giving her a better life. She went through hell in the Ukraine! I could watch this video over and over again!
So glad to see Yuna safe in the UK away from all the bombs that traumatised her. Many thanks to the BIg Cat Sanctuary and everyone who helped rescue her. Hope the other lions will be able to join her soon.
I went to the Kyiv Zoo in 2018. They tried, but it the gorilla was alone and in a little glass room. It looked so alone and miserable
That see what humans can reduce a magnificent proud animal into is unfathomable but good prevailed and it is pure gold!
Makes you just want to cry seeing this gorgeous animal now feeling grass for the first time
Yuna will wake up to freedom and happiness every day from now on, and never be sad again ❤
Not quite freedom, but certainly a lot more happiness than she has experienced before.
Thank You and God Bless You!!!
Would be lovely to see a sequel, a few months later… I bet she will look much stronger, healthier and energetic… ❤
God Bless all of you at the Sanctuary. Long live Yuna!
Before I read that she had been rescued I culd see that she was somewhat weakened & clearly traumatized. She is still in a cage, though it is a larger one. I wish for her a normal lion life. Thanks for the rescue.
Gosh, i had to watch this 3 times as i couldnt see it properly thru my tears. Thankyou BCS for rescuing this poor baby. I have been to the sanctuary and bless you for all you do for the cats.
She seems overwhelmed by the experience of being free. What a beautiful lioness, poor thing, she hasn't been free for so long. Thank you for giving her a chance.🦁🦁🦁
What a beautiful lady
Gawd she is so beautiful. It’s heartbreaking to see such a powerful animal be so scared and timid but it makes my heart soar to know she’s starting a new life. ❤
You know the character of a human based on how they treat animals .
Simple as that
Agreed .
The expression on her face touched my heart, stop blaming anyone for the treatment of this animal, we are all guilty and we are all justified, we are all one!
Shame on anyone involved in making a wild being have a fear of their natural surroundings.
And thank you both for saving here from them.
Exactly - and all who go to zoos and circuses which enslave these beautiful creatures and enable their abuses to continue.
How sad! but thank your giving her a happy ending.
This made me cry when I read rescue lioness I have a 8 yr old cat and she was rescued when she was a kitten someone abused her so when I took her in she was afraid of everything even “hands” I left her alone for a while just so she could adapt to her new environment and eventually she came around and we were inseparable she’s still a bit timid being around people but has came along way I wouldn’t give her up for the world
Lovely to here you have bonded with your cat rescue animals are always heartbroken but I'm sure you have mended her heart ,😊
Crying in joy for her... sweet girl ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Felt so emotional watching her Thank you so much for all your kindness❤
How that aimal was treated for so long is horrible . thank you so much for saving her. What a beautiful animal.❤❤❤❤❤
What a beautiful girl, what an amazing thing you do 🥰
How, at the end of the video, she went back inside her enclosure where she felt safe, and laid down on her back, just made me incredibly sad. Best wishes for this lioness.
It Was A Ton To Process Everything.. It Is A Lot Of Work. Time To Take A Nice Nap. The Lion Is Fine.
With tears streaming down my face I want to thank all responsible for giving this beautiful animal a chance at life.
Cat Sanctuary. Fighting the good fight for big cats for a long time. Respect.
And Yuna is a beautiful girl. The questioning intelligence in her eyes gets me right in the feels.
Awww! How wonderful for her. Beautiful baby girl.
What a beautiful, beautiful girl, stunning. So glad that she was rescued.
OH MY GOD...I can't stop crying! She is so beautiful and I just want her to know what life is and not what she has been subjected to until now! 😥😭❤
It breaks my heart that a majestic creature, that is respected/feared in the wild is scared of the open air and grass. 🦁🌄😢💔
Such a gracious creature... Thanks for saving her!
The most excellent thing to see. Thank you for rescuing her, she's so beautiful.
I’m in tears😢… what a beautiful moment… free at last … so thankful to all those who’ve made this possible.
Brave girl. Thank you to everyone who made this possible. 💛
She’s beautiful!
Aww after all that time she has finally touched grass so emotional and cute x
She is adorable at the end of the video laying on her back with her paws up in the air. It will be even better when she does it outside on the grass in the sunshine! 😸
There is a special place in heaven for the people who devote their lives to freeing these poor crestures. God bless
Lions!! The iconic apex predators suffering in so many ways thanks to human activities and desires. Soooo good to see her going back to her self and into nature. Thanks BC and all your supporters for this result ❤❤❤
