Description
Today we have been to the Wildlife Park not far from where we live (without the girls I hasten to add). It has only been open just over a year, what a lovely place. You can walk through various parts, close to the animals. The one obvious place you carn't interact with the animals is in the lion/tiger enclosures. There are 3 prides of lions altogether. One of the prides has been rescued from Romania, where they were kept in appauling conditions. Our news was full of these lions at the time & sponsors were asked to help and help they did. Today it was so lovely to see these lions, (the ones in the pics) In a lovely open paddock. They must think they have died & arrived in Heaven after the horrendous place they came from. Sadly there are many more around the world. I was very impressed with this park, the animals welfare is very well catered for & there are new parts still being built. More pics to come.

Its wonderful they now have a home where they will be well cared for.
Looks like a great place :) I remember going to WMids Safari park many years ago. A giraffe put it's head through the window for a closer look and the monkeys were intrigued by the boot spoiler
Great collage Barbara, and so nice to see them save the lions
This looks like a beautiful place to visit though it doesn't seem to have high fences hope the cats don't jump out... Glad they are being looked after better there than their last home!! Nice collage Barbara.
We have a refuge like this in Colorado, for lions and other big cats, and it is such a joy to visit and know the animals are being properly cared for. It is spacious just like this. CC
Most excellent, outstanding captures!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wonderful collage Barbara and what a nice project to help sponsor. Dana
Great captures, Barbara! Yes, they must feel they are in heaven - and in a way they are! :o)
Truly King of the Hill .. I just love that the male sits at the top of the hill, all that's missing is a throne for him! It's wonderful to see these places that rescue the large cats and give them such wonderful lives.
Simply heartwarming!!!! hugs Jane xx
The plight of many animals kept in cages is upsetting, and even some elephants are in terrible conditions. Fortunately, they are people that are trying to make their live better. it does take money and our support, however small.
