Urgent: These vulnerable lions need YOU today

Hello John,
Like us, do you long to give Massaï and Alakay a better life? It’s so hard to think of these majestic, soulful lions – one from a circus, one from a zoo – so far from where they belong.
YES! I WANT TO HELP ([link removed])
Like you, we can’t bear animal suffering.
Life in a circus ring or zoo cage is no life for a lion. Confined, exploited, abused. Yet lions represent all that is wild and free. They deserve awe and respect. Not to be imprisoned, for profit, to entertain us.

The circus is no place for a majestic lion
Let’s make it up to Massaï and Alakay.
Do you have room in your heart for two lions in need? Your gift today could bring them home to Africa, and give them a happy place, forever, at our vast, life-changing sanctuary.
DONATE NOW ([link removed])
With your help, these precious lions could experience as wild a life as possible – with space to roam, dense undergrowth to explore, surrounded by the sights and sounds of wild South Africa. What a contrast to life in the circus and zoo!

Our team is working hard to finalise paperwork, then prepare travel crates to take the lions 8,000 miles from their halfway house in Belgium, to a new life – grass beneath their paws, South Africa’s sunshine on their fur.
Everything needed for Massaï and Alakay to be rehomed is starting to fall into place.
But, now they need YOU. Your gift today could make our shared dream for these two lions a beautiful reality.
GIVE A GIFT FOR MASSAÏ & ALAKAY ([link removed])
What are you waiting for?! Please donate today to give Massaï and Alakay a safe haven and shower them with loving care, for life.
On their behalf, thank you, from the bottom of our hearts.

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.
