One Voice requests the urgent confiscation of 4 lionesses and a lion!

One Voice requests the urgent confiscation of 4 lionesses and a lion!

Mis à jour le 25 September 2018

For several months, we have been following closely these 3 lionesses, improperly detained by an Italian circus, in order to obtain their confiscation. But today there is an emergency, and for the other 2 lions as well! They are left on hot tarmac, without water, without shade, despite the heat. We must act quickly!

They are called Baby, Bellone and Caroline. They are at least 8 years old. They do not have papers. One of them may have been sold to the circus by a French zoo. There is a lot of uncertainty regarding the information that concerns them. His name is Nelson, he is 2 and a half years old. He is a white lion, of those that are bred for the captivity industry. Mandela is a lioness of the same age, white as well.

Baby, Bellone and Caroline have been exploited by this circus for years. Nelson and Mandela joined them at the end of March this year. They had arrivee from South Africa and the circus hopes to get them to breed, according to what it has told the press...

For several months, we have been following this circus which improperly holds the three lionesses, and which, we feared, it wants to get rid of, given their age, as well as three pythons and a zebra. Today, a line has been crossed. Beyond the problems of the confinement of these wild animals and their training, this circus not only sits outside the law, but what it also inflicts on these poor lionesses and lion is intolerable!

While they should be able to frolic outside of their truck, their "relaxation" space has been placed directly on hot tarmac. No fresh water or even a shady corner most of the day, despite the hot weather!

One Voice has filed a complaint in respect of the abuse endured by these 5 lions and requests their confiscation. We have made sure that there is a place waiting for them in a sanctuary in South Africa, with our partners Born Free.

The association also wrote to the mayor of Réthel where the circus is currently located to ask him to issue a decree to ban animal shows on his territory.

To help us save them from the circus, please sign and broadcast our petition!

Edit: Following complaints from the public, lions are now entitled to ... a thin layer of sawdust ...

Pour sauver ces pauvres animaux

trochu | Wednesday 29 August 2018

Nous devons être très nombreux à signer cette précieuse pétition car toutes ces exploitations et utilisations des animaux sauvages et ou domestiques dans les cirques doivent cesser au plus vite et être interdites définitivement. La présence des animaux encore dans des cirques doit faire réfléchir les populations qui doivent également prendre conscience de la maltraitance extrême, de la cruauté, de la torture et de l'horreur que vivent tous ces pauvres animaux arrachés à leurs milieux naturels et enfermés et emprisonnés.
Il est très urgent que ces lionnes et tous autres animaux soient libérés afin qu'ils puissent vivre leurs vies D ETRES VIVANTS ANIMAUX dans des grands sanctuaires, libres, auprès des leurs et dans le respect le plus total. De tels cirques sont à boycotter, à dénoncer et exiger leurs fermetures définitive en rendant la liberté à tous ces majestueux animaux si intelligents et si sensibles autant que nous. MERCI ONE VOICE pour agir pour le sauvetage de ces lionnes et de tous autres animaux.
