According to aubtu, there are certain horrible people who keep wild animals
in cages for their own financial and amusement needs.
Some are able to attempt till helpful individuals arrive, while some are
not. This is incredibly depressing to watch.
One may say that Sasha, the lioness that was saved in this article, is a
lucky creature. After six years of torment, she was rescued in Guatemala
from a vicious circus.
However, the nine-year-old lioness was dealing with potentially fatal
wounds at the time. She was incredibly painful and crippling when she was
liberated and transported to a state vet. Sasha was in danger of losing her
right front leg due to bone cancer.
The unfortunate animal's toes were brutally smashed by the callous trainers
to prevent her from mauling them. She was starved, held in cramped quarters,
beaten, and made to perform three times daily. She had spent six years under
trying circumstances.
The veterinarians feared they wouldn't be able to rescue her. They set in
motion an innovative procedure right away to preserve her limb.
To encourage the natural bone to regrow, the vets removed 8 cm of damaged
bone and replaced it with a titanium rod, support mesh, and medical
cement.
Fortunately, Sasha was a powerful lion. She struggled to get better.
The lioness is in good health and prepared to wander freely in the woods
two years after the operation.
12 tigers and 4 lions were also rescued from Guatemalan circuses, in
addition to Sasha.
These saved animals were transported to the 450-acre ADI refuge outside of
Johannesburg with assistance from a UK wildlife organisation. They had to
deal with thugs, corrupt authorities, and red tape along the way, which made
the task so difficult.
Fortunately, Sasha has moved forward at the refuge. She may now lead a wild
animal's life as normal.

"After such a hopeless start to life, Sasha is at last pain-free. Since she
would have fought if we couldn't preserve the limb, we believed she was
doomed. Vice-President of the charity Tim Phillips stated.
