In the Kyiv region of Ukraine, Wild Animal Rescue a sanctuary for lions and tigers, is caught in a warzone.
Many of the big cats there are traumatized victims of wildlife crime—captured as cubs or bred in captivity with no space to move. They arrive at the center malnourished, stressed and some unable even to walk. This situation is only exacerbated in times of war, when these animals face the threat of explosions and armed conflict, and when their owners are forced to flee.
Right now, five lions and two tigers desperately need veterinary care, food and shelter to keep them safe until they can be evacuated out of Ukraine. Can you help them?
