We originally believed that the circus was one of the happiest places on
earth when we were children. Sadly, we were mistaken. Animals frequently
entertain us with sophisticated acts on their stage, and occasionally this
has blinded us to the reality. These creatures frequently live their whole
lives in cramped cages and are made to perform stunts for spectators.
This organization was adamant about getting the government to outlaw animal
circuses.
Animal Defenders Incorporated is a global advocacy organization that
defends animals from mistreatment of any form. They want to save these
unfortunate creatures from an unwholesome environment.
This group has assisted in several animal rescues and provided resources
with other organizations that support animals. Stop Circus Suffering was the
name of one of their international campaigns, which encouraged the
government to outlaw animal-using circuses.
Prepare to feel sorrow for these two lions that were rescued from a
Guatemalan circus.
To release nine tigers and two lions, ADI traveled to a circus in
Guatemala. The president and vice-president of ADI, Jan and Tim, were there
on the field to observe the animals firsthand. They were heartbroken to see
the animals in their terrible plight right away, especially Tarzan and
Tanya, the two circus lions.
They looked at Tarzan, and saw that his bottom lip hung. They learned from
someone at the circus that Tarzan battled a tiger and that Tanya, a
courageous lioness, stood up for him.
Tanya is relatively little, but Jan told The Dodo that she gave it her all
during the fight.
Tanya and Tarzan spent the majority of their life imprisoned in a tiny
cage. ADI was motivated to relieve these creatures of their misery because
they had already endured a great deal of it.
Before relocating them to a larger home, ADI assists their rescue animals
in regaining their health.
With ADI's objective in mind, the animals are rescued from circuses and
treated before being released in a much larger habitat. They tried letting
the enormous cats wander on the lawn the day following the rescue.
Tarzan was cautious from the minute he stepped onto the grass because it
was his first time. They didn't take long to begin adjusting to their new
surroundings. Tanya has always been there to defend Tarzan, so he also has
no fears.
Before Tarzan's lower jaw became infected, ADI corrected Tarzan's jaw
issues. After the procedure, they returned the lion to his temporary
residence.
In the weeks that followed their arrival at the clinic, Tanya and Tarzan
felt more at ease. They were curious about everything they encountered while
playing like kittens. ADI believed they were prepared for their new house
after a few weeks of preparation.
A location where the animals might live out the remainder of their lives in
peace, at last.
It was time to relocate them to ADI's refuge in South Africa. They had to
stop four times on the way there, so it was undoubtedly a lengthy voyage.
Tim, Jan, and the rest of the crew tried their best to keep the animals
quiet throughout the lengthy journey.
When they arrived at their location, they introduced the animals to their
new residence gradually.
With Tanya on Tarzan's side, there was no need for ADI to be concerned, so
they made sure to keep them together inside the same cage.
Tarzan and Tanya now have a fantastic house to call home because to ADI.
