Virginia McKenna takes two lions ‘home’ to Africa

“The emotional feeling that I think everybody has is even more profound because you cannot believe that from 20 years ago until now we’re still allowing wild animals to live in the most hideous conditions. It beggars belief that human beings haven’t really learnt to be more understanding and sensitive about wild creatures’ nature and that they also feel all the things we do. It makes me more determined to instill and inspire a different kind of feeling between people and captive wild creatures.” - Virginia McKenna

You are an extraordinary human being. Many of us feel the outrage that you do, but lack the guts it takes to actively do something about it. Thank God for your kind. I know these animals feel the same thing.

[@celinafernandez8210]

Virginia you are really out of this world. It's so conforting to know that there is still people with compassion towards animals. God bless you

When I watch George and Joy Adamson and people like them who have a special bond with wild and beautiful animals, I feel appalled and speechless that within a few years we may not have any of these wonderful animals left in the wild. Either people and encroached on their territory or poachers poison them for their "prize" body parts which show absolutely no medical efficacy whatsoever. What sort of world will we live in then? It is a world that doesn't exist any more. Man learns nothing.

Thank you Virginia McKenna for your ongoing effort and energy to give back to these gorgeous wild animals what they once lost because of humans that are (still) challenged with understanding where wild animals belong and need to be: wild and free 🦁🐾

Belgium owes Africa more than two lions.

[@hopefaith179]

God bless you heart Virginia!

[@swifty1969]

this was awe inspiring. Virginia Mckenna after all these years still going strong and saving lions. God bless her soul. Being cooped up in that very small box on the plane for all those hours must of been hell for that poor lion. Joy Adamson would've been proud of her.
