Those bow legs on one, the lack of muscle shows the level of care they received. I'm happy they are safe, cared for and together. A beautiful bond.
Look at the part when they're in the zoo and being put in the transport cage. They looked toned and in better shape. Something is not right .
No, I noticed it when they were in the cages at the zoo too. At first, I thought it was a torn ACL â@@lisahanson527
Yes, the oversimplification in this channel is choking. These two lions are not fit for the wild. They will life forever captive (if they want them to live) just in a larger enclosure
@@lobomalsanoI wouldnât think this is a release situation. They are at a sanctuary.
This is Lions Rock in South Africa. They have received numerous rescued lions and other big cats already from all over the world. This is just a temporary camp to adjust. They will later on go to a bigger camp with trees, etc. They are very thin now, but will put on weight as they decompress from their previous life and settle down.
Thank you for explaining that. I assume they are all fed there? Will they ever have to hunt?
â€
Wow they are considered thin! Nice to know they will go to a bigger nicer sanctuary with trees etc--- I was wondering đ€ about it being very plain and boring there in that enclosure!
I truly love you people. Thank you!
No, these are two of our senior lions Rey and Simba who live at the ADI Wildlife Sanctuary in South Africa.
My parents never took us to the circus when we were young, when asked why they said they're not going to pay to watch grown men force animals to do acts that are not natural for wild animals, my friends thought my parents were crazy for not taking us but I'm so thankful our parents raised us to have compassion for animals, I never took my children to the circus and gave my kids the same explanation, my kids have rescue animals just like they did growing up,I am going to rescue two more dogs because shelters are overwhelmed with animals everywhere, I know I can't save them all but at least I can give them a loving home.
This is the best reply! I've done some rescue and recommend it so highly! The animals detsi much better than they get!
Thank you x
Bravo!!!
I refused to take my daughter to the circus as well.
My parents would not take me to the circus either. They had respect for animals.
You're continuing a beautiful legacy. We do not go to the circus either. We went to Thailand last year and we didn't ride elephants for this same reason.
I have long boycotted circuses, fundamentally disagreeing with and protesting their imprisonment and abuse. Thank you, rescue operation!
@@lc4011 Me too.
I never took my kids to a circus. I couldnât justify the mistreatment of animals as entertainment.
Yes....zoo's and circuses are cruel
So happy that these brothers will finally have some semblance of the lives they deserve and should have had all along!
Thank you for rescuing these 2 brothers. They do not deserve to be enclosed for people's entertainment.
@@lorrainen.9796 no animal deserves that. Hopefully ALL COUNTRIES will realise it, we can but dream đ
Poor simbe, you can feel the hip displasia and arthritis in his little hops. So glad they can life the rest of their time together and in peace
I noticed the hip dysplasia as well. This made my heart so sad, but I'm glad they're finally enjoying their newfound freedom with each other. This makes me have faith in humanity.
Yes! Theyâre so thin, too. Those hips pained me!
Is it genetic or from never touching the earth during captivity? It looks painful for him.
I noticed it also đą
@@lisabanerjee7942I couldnât feel a thing. Why donât they just release them back in the wild?
People are so "F"ing cruel. It always helps to see the people who rescue animals from a cruel life!! So glad they are safe and have the new life they deserve!!
Thank you to ALL involved in their rescue đ
We should not be thankful for their rescue, instead we should ask that those who kept them in cage be jailed for abuse. That is why they keep doing it.
@@MrPhil309they need to throw a couple females in there. This is how boys go gay here
@@MrPhil309 It wasn't illegal in Peru before, so why would anyone be jailed?
Shout out to any country who bans circuses and animal abuse! So happy to see these two beautiful majestic brothers together and free to roam and just be lionsđđđđđđđđđ.
The ending of them walking side by side is beautiful.đI hope they have many more years to come !
It's like them chilling and having a beer. Whew. They said. We are living like Oprah animals đ
Proof animals have feelings.
You needed proof? What did you imagine before?
@@tommymorrison6478 - not me, others who do not believe animals have feelings. I have multiple animals and I'm fully aware animals do indeed feel on many levels.
Thank you for rescuing them. I wish all animals could have the freedom they deserve.
Including the ones we should not eat đą
I noticed that one of the brothers has either arthritis or an old fracture that healed on its own on his right back leg. God bless you for rescuing and keeping them together!
To everyone involved in their rescue or their continued support, thank you!
The boys bumping each other as they walk is endearing. My eldest sister does the same thing.
Thank you for rescuing these beautiful animals and allowing them to grow old together with dignity. To have a semblance of freedom and to have the space to run and play is their birthright.
Thank you to animal defenders international for their kindness and persistent efforts.
Iâm so grateful there are organizations out there to help animals. No animal should be in captivity that belongs in the wild.
And yet remove the fun out of everything. That is the goal right?
Their skinny condition brought a tear to my eye
They actually donât appear too skinny. Generally the will be fed pretty decently. However, when they are cubs, often times their owners try to keep them small for as long as possible, just providing milk as a main substance whuch then leads to degenerative bone growth. You see the one lion his severely bow-legged. Thatâs most likely from malnutrition as a cub.
I see what you mean the one looked skinny I think he's older or maybe arthritis seems to walk bowlegged maybe anyway so glad their happy and free. And I get the circus or whatever place but there is no need to abuse any animal for anything.
I noticed his bowed legs at the end and thought it was because of such a small space in the cages đ
@@neilbaldwin1492 im with you, i was thinking of feeding my wife to some lions to fatten them up.đ
So very glad that they have been rescued.
Animals are not entertainment for humans and should not be trophies either!
Hopefully they will fatten up and live long and happy lives as they should have been able to do in the first place!
They need some enrichment toys to occupy them so they don't get bored imo.

I was taken to a circus when I was little,I hated it and cried to leave. We did leave.
No animal deserves to be treated that way,it's not entertaining,it's cruel,plus they are not treated with kindness. A big thank you to all involved in their trip to FREEDOM!!!
Thank you for rescuing these beauties. Ban Animal Circuses.
Yes, justice for animals! Please sign the petition for octopus farming also!
@@beffis1980I agree with you!
BAN ANIMAL CRUELTY IN THE CIRCUS!
@@beffis1980 Hey, Iâm Vegan, Ban anything that gets killed for Human Consumption. Meat is Murder. But, ya gotta feed the lions.
Animals are banned in Australian circuses
@@MsCheetah123 Good on you!
Here is a Poem specially for the people who rescued these two lions and for anyone else reading this :
Have you had a Kindness shown,
Pass it on,
T'was not given for thee alone,
Pass it on,
Let it Travel down the Year's,
Let it wipe another's Tear's,
Till in Heaven the Deed appears,
Pass it on. đŹđ§
They're so close they just keep bumping into each other, even with all that space. :)
They were probably beat into being so close.. đą
Bumping into each other could be caused by poor eye sight due to lack of proper food: vitamins etc
Head bops are a typical cat thing to do! They are saying hello to eachother đ
How wonderful! Thank you! I am 76 & have been supporting all creature rescues all my life.I too cried & asked to leave a circus when I was 3 years old,even then knowing it was wrong!I would never be involved in any wrong doing to any creature! I have my 30th rescue dog now ,a little born blind senior from China. They give so much love it makes you happy to try to save them all.đââïžđ¶đđđXXX
Thank you â€
This is why I have never gone to any circus, I couldn't handle the animals being caged. I still can't, I am so happy that organizations like this are helping so many precious souls. Bless you all for everything you do.
Yes me too. I also wonât go to the zoo! Breaks my heart to see them locked up!
Elephants get the bull hook and Lions get the whips. These wild Animals are reduced to cowering submitted beings. They beat them until submission. They lose their Spirit and their will. These circus people are evil jerk offs.
@@susanmulvey6311zoos usally rescue the animals bc they canât survive but others just take em
@@susanmulvey6311Roadside zoos are the bad ones. AZA accredited zoos are the good ones.
Thank you for rescuing these two beautiful brothers. â€
Seeing a lion with rickets and wasted muscle is heartbreaking. Thank goodness they'll have a happy & peaceful last chapter.
These brothers are glad to be free and they can do want they want to do!! They BOTH deserve it!! Just Beautiful To See!! Love To See These BESTIES Be Free!!
This brings tears of happiness to my eyes. Animals should not be caged, they deserve to be free.Thank you all so much for freeing these beautiful animals. May God less you.
My children could never understand why I refused to take them to the circus. When they were older, they thanked me!
Thank you for your empathy and wisdom. Passing on your values to your children is a gift that you have given them.
Take them to Circus without animals
Whoever saved these beautiful boy's a big Thank You. Now they can spend the rest of their lives being loved and can roam play and do just what they want too do.â€â€
How can people do this to such a majestic creature?
For money, no different to charities who pay these 'rescuers' big salaries out of your donations.
đą
â@@sirpagandetyptoft6793 So what, we should just let the circus abuse animals?
I sincerely hope they have a couple of lionesses their age to join them, that would really make their retirement even more happier đâ„ïž
Thank you for saving these two amazing lions. To see them play and run wherever they want to go and seeing them act like two kittens is the best gift everđâ€â€
The moment Simba started skipping I lost it, I couldn't hold back the tears. What a beautiful sight to see! â€â€â€
So Glorious and Majestic, what Monsters would cage such Beauties. I'm so glad they're living a better quality of life now, they so deserve it.
I hope these brothers live happy and free for a long time.
A big THANKS to ADI!!
Bless these two brothers and bless their saviours too
Huge kudos and blessings to the humans who finally did the right thing and made this rescue possible! đ
This was absolutely beautiful to seeâŠâ€đâ€đâ€đâŠthank you all, for everything you do!!! I pray they have many more years to get on each others nervesâŠâ€â€â€â€
Bless ALL rescuers!! May your lives be filled with health, happiness, peace, love & prosperity! May ALL who abuse, neglect & abandon ANY living creature have their deeds returned to them 10 fold!!!
I agree with you!!!!!
Thanks đto everyone who participated in their rescue â€â€â€â€â€â€â€â€â€â€
We are honored to be able to free them from their circus cages and give them a peaceful life in their native Africa.
A happy ending!! Itâs so heartbreaking when you see these innocent animals caged up for most of their lives like this. Thank goodness there are ppl like this that can rescue them and give them a good lifeđ
To be honest, Iâve never been to the circus and now I know why. Iâm just glad that those lions live in a happier environment where they can take LONG naps
Thankyou so so much im so happy these beautiful guys are free from human exploitation and greed and living the life they do so deserve
They look terrible, you can see that they had not much space to moveđą. I am so happy they are safe now, thank you đ
"Rain, sleet and snow"... heaven after what these poor lions have endured.
Remember, in the wild they live like that and are actually very hardy. It is the human abuse that they cannot tolerate.
3:10 They look so cute walking away together!
"I love you bro"
"Love you too"
"Look for the bare necessities
The simple bare necessities
Forget about your worries and your strife
I mean the bare necessities
Old Mother Nature's recipes
That brings the bare necessities of life"
Thank you for giving these brothers each other back and their freedom God bless you for helping them, I hope you continue your rescue work helping more sufferering animals.
I haved loved lions my whole life! And I adore these two beautiful, gorgeous brothers. So happy to see them enjoying their new life! Their skinny bodys made me cry and the last take showing them walking side by side and pushing each other make me laughing loudly! đâ€
To see the pure joy of the brothers together and living in freedom, after a life of utter hell, is wonderful
I wish them many years, living the life they should ALWAYS have had
Sending a massive thank you to everyone involved in their rescue
You always right the terrible wrongs done to these beautiful, majestic animals
Bless you all!
What a truly beautiful story of these two precious beloved bonded brothers!!!!!!! A success story to warm the heart.đđŠđŠ
So heartwarming to see Rey and Simba being happy, carefree brothers. Their bond helped them to survive until they reached 'home'...
Thank you for giving the 2 of them a better life to live. đ„°đ
No animals should be in a bloody circus. That's bloody disgusting. Glad you guys were able to save these beautiful brothers and give them the life they should have. Thank you.â€â€â€â€â€â€â€
Thank you so much dodo!!!!! So wonderful and they are so deserving of it. Anyone who cages an animal should be in a cage themselves.
Tienen el castigo inmediato que el universo les envĂa o no Covid?
I agree, including African Grey parrots
I can't thank those who participated in their rescue enough, well done!
Thank you, for saving them.
THANK YOU ANIMAL DEFENDERS INTERNATIONAL for your kindness and compassion to rescue these lions and swim oceans and climb mountains to ensure their freedom. I'm in tears. Really. Thank you to PETA and other animal rights activists fighting for circuses around the world to stop using animals in circuses. It's animal cruelty in broad daylight. Thank you Peru for making the right decision.
đąđąđąTHANK YOU......
Such happiness for the Big Boys, Lions brothers together playing and being free. â€They Love eachother so much and walk together as the đ sun is shining. đŠ â€đŠ
I m so happy 4 all rescued wild animals from circumstances they shd not hv bn a part of 2 begin w. Getting 2 live in as close 2 the wild as possible is a blessing!!!
Thank you for rescuing the two đŠ brothers they don't belong in a circus they were born free and should live there life's free.hope they have many happy years together đŠđŠđđ
I can't believe there's still a circus in the 21st century
I don't either, they should have been banned long ago.
They need to leave the animals out of the shows are just use stupid humans to spin plates and swing on ropes ! lol
Circus, zoo all the same.
Zoos are one of those things that can be made into something bad. but zoos can also do a whole lot of good.
There are plenty of zoos that are responsible for rehabilitating and bringing back many species close to extinction.
Not to mention, a lot of these animals that are facing habitat destruction, poachers, etc., can get better medical and overall care in good high quality, well regulated zoos.
Such a wonderful rescue, pure happiness seeing them run free together.
No animal should be in a circus, no animals for shows like in Florida and ban these sea shows which are beyond cruel.
Thanks for rescuingđ

Thank you for giving these boys a wonderful 2nd Act! It feels wonderful to see them happy and fulfilled in their new life. Thank you so much!!
Thank you đ
These two big cats, having freedom and allowed to be loions, brought tears of joy to me. They are happy, I am happy đ
They need their freedom to keep the breed going
Side by side in freedom, while surrounded with fences. lol. But it is amazing what people do, to help animals. Wild animals does NOT belong in a circus. Thank you for rescuing them â„
I read that this is a temporary camp to get them adjusted before being moved to a bigger, nicer area. They could never survive in the wild
Thank you for bringing these brothers to new beginnings they will be loved and cared for, for the rest of their days.
Saggy belly skin, underweight but they are now safe to enjoy there remaining life together. May they have long and happy days. Thank you for getting these close brothers outâ€.
WoW... a beautiful, heart lifting story! Love it! I only hope and wish that other Circus and roadside zoo animals get luck enough to have such an opportunity.
I am so glad they were reunited and are done with that circus
They deserve to be treated like the true Kings they are â€â€â€
How these circuses arenât banned worldwide is terrifying and heartbreaking
YES YES YES. We have got to beg and pray for some other countries to stop this cruelty , and the U.S still has some offenders as well . I love the Rescue Groups so much for their work and passion.
People who put animals in cages should themselves be put in cages. Thanks to ADI for rescuing these very deserving brothers. â€ïž
I never knew that two male lions could be so bonded! â€
YEAH!!! What a Beautiful Story!!! Run Kitties Run!!!
Thank You for Rescuing Them and Giving Them the Safety of the Sanctuary - a Home They Really Deserve!!!
Standing Ovation!!!

Wow that was absolutely beautiful đą
Seeing Simba jumping for joystick special to see and knowing they will remain together, free for the rest of their days...Priceless â€
Such majestic animals should never be caged.
In fact, no animals should ever be caged.
This made me extremely happy! God bless them both!đđđđœđđœ Thank you for rescuing them.
Thank you all of you for doing this for those poor animals who canât defend themselves đđđđ
Very happy to see countries banning circus animals. They are more often than not abused and ill-treated.
Agree 100%. What a beautifull sight â€ïžâ€ïžâ€ïž
This is wonderful! They do look thin to me but what do I know ? lol
@@kimberlymccarty6407 bet they'll soon fill out with love, care, good food and freedom. Long may they live in what must seem like heaven to them. đđđ
I am so happy too. I wish all circuses worldwide were banned. It is pure hell for wild animals.
The United States needs to ban animals being used in any circus as well. Way past time.
The way they were leaning into each other as they walked...both beautiful and heartbreaking...
I love Animal Defenders International. Truly amazing people!
Look at the shape they're in đą bow legged and emaciated đ that is exactly why I or my children have never been to a zoo! And never will. Humans are the animals. May God bless you for setting them free. â€
So happy they were rescued and can live a happy life now đđđđŒđđ
Thank you to all of you who have brought all of these animals to freedom
Thanks
How can any person watch that video and not get tears in their eyes? To see the two lovely creatures finally "living free" (so to speak) simply tells me that there are still humans in this world who value all wildlife and who are willing to do what they can to bring joy to creatures. Thank you for posting the video.
Way to go, Peru!
A really good circus doesn't need animals. The practice started when seeing an elephant or a lion was a novelty, an attraction to exploit for tickets. Since then, animals have protections from most nations and aren't hunted to be kept in captivity. Breeding seems to be the way private individuals get their own lion or tiger. Zoos will breed animals that are endangered to enlarge their populations.
I love the idea of using trained domestic animals, like the cats in that Las Vegas show.
What a wonderful thing you did for them. I live about 60 miles from the elephant sanctuary in Tennessee. It's sad to hear of their history and abuse but it nice to see them free range.
Thank you and God bless â€
I love the way they bash into each other as they are walking together....made me chuckle đ
Thank you for rescuing †them â€â€â€

Ban animals in circuses!
You can see that one brother has a bad leg or hip. You can see it when they're walking away from your line of sight. Injury, or birth defect?
Probably poor genetics
Injury for sure
Thank you for rescuing them, they look soo happy now, all thanks to you guys, praying you rescue more abused wild animals being exploited by evil humansđâ€đ
