Thank you, dear Mervi!

I am deeply touched by the fate of the lioness and her three children.
I wish the family all the best. May they come to terms with their terrible experiences and be able to enjoy their lives in YWP.

Hugs,
Anita

Dear Mervi!
Thank you so much!
I can only agree with the previous comments!
Stories like this are sorely needed now and warm the heart when all the disasters and bad news make you feel cold and lose courage and confidence. It is very touching that so many people have worked to save this mother lion and her cubs and bring them to safety.
I wish these beauties all the best and lots of love for the rest of their lives! It is wonderful that they will soon be able to enjoy fresh air, blue skies above them and grass under their paws!

Hugs
Anke

I fully echo Dumba’s words in thanking the Polish zoo and the efforts of the keepers at YWP!

Really good and moving news!
Many thanks and best wishes for the lion family and their new beautiful life!

These are stories that lacerate the heart, when one get to know of it. . . . Thanks Mervi for having brought this article to KM.

For this sentence I could hug the author, ‘Deputy Section Head of Carnivores, Colin Northcott’ right away:

“Even the language they hear will be different. I’m trying to learn a few words in Polish to make them feel more at home.
But I can’t wait for them now to run around playing, walking on grass for the first time, seeing the water and the sky!”

That’s the kind of keepers/people/vets/visitors/’fellow human- and animal-beings’ we are in urgent need for in these days: Empathy and the willing to act, to help with (even little) steps of ‘humanity’.

One would like to thank the polish zoo ‘POZNAN ZOO’ and for sure the “Yorkshire Wildlife Park (YWP)” plus anybody who was involved in the rescue of the lovable beauties. Indeed, there must have been keepers willing to do the maximum possible to do them good -under most difficult circumstances. How on earth they could look so smashingly good otherwise – bearing in mind their previous fate!?

Best of further ‘LUCK and HEALTH’ to AYSA, EMI, SANTA, and TEDDI!
AND to everyone who is involved in accompanying their future life in one or another way.
