A number of circus lions and tigers have ended up at an Animal Defenders Sanctuary in South Africa. The sanctuary is 455 acres and the cats are able to live natural lives for the first time. The sanctuary did a video so we can see what life is like now for former circus animals.

They do look happy don't they. It is nice to know that as circuses phase out their animals acts, those animals have a happy future ahead of them in various sanctuaries.
It was noticeable that some of the cats were damaged. One female lion was missing an eye. These animals could not be returned to the wild because they would not survive. The sanctuary is a sheltered wild experience. We can't change the past these former circus animals have suffered, but we can make things right for them.
