Unfortunately, there are other threats that contribute to the plight of lions—one of them being fraudulent influencers who exploit lion cubs for social media fame. They often buy these cubs and parade them as rescues, but the reality is far more tragic. These cubs, once too large to be handled, are often sold off to canned hunting farms where they meet a cruel end. These so-called “rescues” don’t save the lions, but instead, create more problems. The cubs can’t be released into the wild after being raised in captivity, and instead, they become part of a harmful cycle that further endangers the species.
However, this work cannot continue without your support. We currently have an ongoing fundraiser because we urgently need help to continue our mission. The costs of rescuing, caring for, and protecting these lions are immense, and we simply cannot do it alone.
This month, we have our upcoming veterinarian check for the lions and the cost for each lion’s check-up will be around 150€ for each one of them. With so many lions in our care, this is a significant expense, and we would greatly appreciate any support to help cover these costs.
Every donation, no matter the size, will directly support our efforts. Together, we can give these lions the life they deserve and make a lasting impact on the conservation of the species. Your support truly makes a difference.
