Hello John,

Have you met Massaï yet?

Forced to perform in a circus, it’s hard to think of how greatly she suffered. We long to give her a new life, at our tranquil sanctuary in South Africa. Your gift today could bring her home, and give her peace.

As you know, a circus is no place for a lion…

Lions like Massaï can suffer:

⚠️ A life of abuse, fear, and constant stress
⚠️ Trained by domination, cruelty and pain
⚠️ Driven to perform unnatural, demeaning tricks
⚠️ Harsh, blinding spotlights in a raucous big top
⚠️ Constantly on the road, taken from city to city
⚠️ Your only ‘home’ a cramped metal trailer

You can only imagine Massaï’s anguish and distress. Enduring life in a circus to ‘entertain’ people and make money. What a miserable, deprived life for a magnificent lion.

It’s outrageous that Massaï was forced to endure this shameful existence. But now, there’s not a moment to lose. You could give this beautiful, 11-year-old the life she deserves, and take her home to our life-changing big cat sanctuary in South Africa.

Your gift today could help take Massaï and Alakay from a halfway house in Belgium, to our world-class sanctuary at Shamwari Private Game Reserve. There, they will be able to enjoy the scents, sights, sounds, warmth and privacy: an enriched new life, thanks to YOU.

Do you share our dream for Massaï and Alakay? Their happiness is in your hands. Your gift could help transform their lives, bring them home to Shamwari, and give them sanctuary, forever.

Massaï and Alakay, we won’t let you down!

From your lion-loving friends at Born Free

Thanks to the incredible Olsen Animal Trust, Alakay’s lifetime care at Shamwari will be supported – but we urgently need to raise funds to help cover transport and logistics costs to get both lions to Shamwari, and provide lifetime care for Massaï.
