Last Two Circus Lions of Bulgaria Experience Freedom

in Animal News

Jora and Black, an inseparable pair of rescued lions, have completed a 10,500 mile journey from a circus in Bulgaria to the Born Free Jean Byrd Education and Rescue Centre, a part of the Shamwari Game Reserve, in South Africa. Adam M. Roberts, CEO of Born Free USA and the Born Free Foundation, explains, “Every time we rescue an ill-treated wild animal, forced into unnatural, cruel captivity for years, it is truly a cause for celebration. The story of Jora and Black and their opportunity to live in peace in South Africa is an uplifting one: a testament to the hard work of so many dedicated people, and an inspiration that drives us to save more animals in need wherever they sadly languish.”
