The Lion Ark movie is opening at the film festivals and this is your chance to be one of the first to see the “feel good movie of the year”!

More action adventure style than traditional documentary, Lion Ark tells the story of the undercover investigations, the lobbying, the law and enforcement of the ban on animal circuses in Bolivia. Circuses that defy the new law are tracked down, animals saved and a joyous finale sees 25 lions airlifted to freedom.

This is a hugely important film for raising awareness about the suffering of animals in traveling circuses and it shows how laws can be enforced. And for a change, the animals win!

Lions and Tigers in Lebanon Need Homes

 

LebanonLionsTigers

We are looking for possible placement with you of two adult lions and two adult tigers that we are in the process of removing form a private zoo.

A wildlife vet from France has seen these animals about two years ago to vaccinate and provide care advice. This zoo had a cheetah and third tiger which have since died.

The leader of the political group from that area helped in convincing the owner to give up a chimpanzee in 2012, and we were informed a couple days ago that he is ready to give up the lions and tigers and be done with exotic animals.

Previously we sent lions to the Drakenstein sanctuary near Capetown but they do not have available space at this time. I have contacted the European Association of Rescue Centers and Born Free Foundation but still no definite ‘yes’ for any sanctuary.

You posted earlier about these lions we rescued some years ago – http://bigcatrescue.org/rescue-of-lion-cub-in-beirut-puts-spotlight-on-illegal-animal-trade/

I was hoping you might have some possibilities even if not all animals go to the same sanctuary.

We will cover all costs to get them to the nearest international airport, and have no problem arranging the necessary permits and vet procedures. I am attaching a picture of the two lions and am trying to go on the weekend to get pictures of the tigers and check the health.

There is no real rush as the animals are there and secure enough, but it does start raining in October and November which makes it more difficult as it is at the bottom of a deep valley with gravel and dirt path. We will need to move each animal up this path separately in the back of a pickup truck.

Thank you for your consideration and please let me know if I can provide any other information that would help.

 

Sincerely,

Jason Mier

Note:  We referred him to our friends in Spain and Africa from AAP but they are full as well.  Right now there are 3 cougars and 5 lynx looking for a home and more calls every day as the bad guys try to unload their breeders before new laws ban them from breeding for pay to play schemes.

Vern, Chuck and Scott using a lift to place the roof on our safety entrance and lock out areas of the Vacation Rotation cage.  Nice job Howie.  Note: Turn your camera on its side to get the right screen fill.

We are delighted to announce that the world premiere of Lion Ark – the film about how Bolivia’s circus industry was closed down, all the animals saved and 29 lions were airlifted to sanctuaries in the United States – is in London on 1st October.

Lion Ark has been officially selected to screen at Raindance, Europe’s largest independent film festival.  Tickets go on sale today and numbers will be limited.

Lion Ark has been made in more of an action adventure style to appeal to a wide audience. But in this documentary, the animals win. It will leave you smiling.  It is also a huge opportunity to raise awareness about the suffering of animals in circuses, but the audience will be kept interested in the story, while they learn the reasons not to visit the animal circus.  We need your help for this important launch to get Lion Ark out to the public.
