And now this heinous despicable crime which I learnt from Cole and Marmalade ... Two beautiful elderly rescue lions have been Deliberately killed in their Sanctuary in South Africa. The Sanctuary is for abused and displaced big cats and one of the lions had suffered brain damage from being hit so much when he was in the illegal circus. They had never known grass under paw or sunshine on their coats. Now they're dead from Poachers 😢 Thank the rescue center for giving them that year of freedom, peace and care before this atrocity occurred at the place of Sanctuary. He died with his inseparable friend who was also slaughtered. You cowardly scumbag cunts, rot in hell 😡

Two Elderly Rescue Lions Killed Deliberately by Poachers Two Elderly Rescue Lions Killed Deliberately by Poachers in their Sanctuary 😢 Emoya Big Cat Sanctuary, a South African animal sanctuary found out that two rescued lions, José and Liso, were killed after their sanctuary was broken into by poachers and killed the Lions in a terrible act. A team of investigators and forensic experts are helping with the crime to try catch the bastards responsible.
"José and Liso were rescued from illegal circuses in Peru and Colombia in 2014. Animal Defenders Intentional (ADI) that led the rescue mission, relocated the big cats to Emoya Big Cat Sanctuary early 2016. It took them over a year and a hefty cost of $330,000 to transport 33 rescued lions to the sanctuary. "This cowardly killing of two innocent souls, sweet, elderly lions, one of whom had suffered brain damage from blows to the head in the circus, must not be left unpunished," ADI wrote on Facebook. It was a long arduous mission to save these magnificent big cats who had endured years of abuse. When they finally moved into their comfortable, spacious enclosures at the sanctuary, they came out of their shells and found joy and happiness that they had never known existed.José and Liso shared an inseparable bond. They had a wonderful year together at the sanctuary before their lives were brutally taken away.
"We are all heartbroken, but these killers will never break our spirit and the spirit of freedom that ADI has fought so hard for," the sanctuary said in another Facebook post. "We are not going to take this lying down. We are standing together. Every sanctuary, every conservationist, every friend of ADI and Emoya. Every one of us."
"We stand together against wildlife trade... We are going to unite, stronger than ever, and bring to justice the perpetrators who murdered our two beloved boys, José and Liso.""
