Dear John
We urgently need your help. Sandro, a beautiful 15-year-old tiger, was forced to endure many years in a shocking, barren pen, in a rundown zoo in Spain. He paced back and forth, with no enrichment and little shade from the blazing sun, noisy visitors banging on the glass.
Despite his ordeal, Sandro never lost the fire in his luminous eyes.
Your support meant Born Free could bring him to a tranquil sanctuary in northern Italy, in April. And thankfully, after years of our campaigning together, the ghastly zoo has closed.
Today, in a temporary enclosure surrounded by birdsong, Sandro is free to take a dip in his swimming pool, saunter across the grass and take a leisurely patrol through the trees. What a contrast to his former life of deprivation!
But we urgently need funds to create the spacious, permanent enclosure he deserves and provide him with loving, care for life. Can you help Sandro? He has waited long enough.
