The Netherlands-based Stichting Leeuw is paying to move the three lions from Germany to the Emoya Big Cat Sanctuary 300 kms north of Johannesburg later this month.

Sanctuary director Savannah Heuser says these lions will be very different from the 33 troubled and traumatised cats they received from South American circuses ten days ago.

She says after several months of rehabilitation, the lions will eventually be able to return to live and breed in the wild.
