And the efforts to bring these beautiful and deserving big cats to freedom - at last!

Here's the original thread, which also contains a link for donations - originally for funding the rescue, and still accepting donations for their feeding and care...

**25 retired circus lions have their "tickets" to freedom-8 more needed before April 29 (Friday)**

Thanks to you, we have been able to fund this life-changing journey, one lion at a time. If you would still like to donate, 100% will go toward ongoing care and feeding of these lions as they enjoy their retirement at the Emoya Cat Sanctuary in South Africa.

I will be donating to this group with my fist paycheck this summer and whenever I can thereafter. Maybe I'll see if I can go work for/with them too. I need a new gig, maybe something like this will be the right change.

Thanks for posting.
