▶ Behind the scenes of a lion relocation
This year, Born Free has rescued 11 lions from captive exploitation across Europe. This includes four cubs who were all being kept illegally as pets in France. Born Free, and other partners successfully relocated the lions to our big cat sanctuary in Shamwari Private Game Reserve, South Africa.
We speak to Maggie Balaskas, Born Free’s Animal Rescue and Care Manager, about exactly what it takes to fly four lion cubs half way across the world. From ensuring vaccination from numerous exotic diseases to avoiding passport problems, the journey was never going to be simple for the young animals who’s lives depend on a successful mission.
