- A heart-warming video of two magnificent ex-circus lions who were successfully rescued from Bulgaria and are now thriving in their new South African home.
Eight-year-old brothers Jora and Black made international headlines when they were rescued by Born Free in partnership with Four Paws from a beast wagon in Bulgaria just over three months ago. Thanks to generous public support, Born Free transported Jora and Black 10,500 miles via the UK to a new life at Born Free's Big Cat Rescue Centre within the award-winning Shamwari Game Reserve, near Port Elizabeth, South Africa.
The video, made available for the first time today, reveals how Born Free successfully rescued the lions, and shows the emotional moment the brothers were released from their travelling crates and stepped out onto African soil for the first time.
tear in my eyes. thank you born free foundation giving these helpless beautiful creatures second life.
Fantastic! Hopefully soon circuses and cub petting setups will be banned world wide.
Bring tears to my eyes to see these magnificent animals get their freedom
The best part is when they first step out, onto the grass, and realise that their home is no longer the tiny prison they had become accustomed to. They look so excited and happy. The tears, happy ones, begin to flow!! Thank you, Born Free, for now they get to live free.....well as close to free as possible.
_"The best part is when they first step out, onto the grass, and..."_
It was indeed, so I was a little irked that the video kept cutting away to some geezer talking at that point. For all the buildup we see far too little of the Lions reacting at that important moment..
If that could happen with all animals in circuses from all over the world not only from my country that would be the best thing!
People should refuse to go to circuses where they have wild animals like lions, tigers and elephants
Thank the Good Lord for The Wonderful People who save these Beautiful Animals, Thank you is just not enough!!! You have a special place in Heaven!!!, I’d love to shake your hand or hug you all! I get so emotional seeing animals abused!!! Now I pray they live out their lives Forever Happy and nurtured with abundance of LOVE 💕
Breaks my heart for those who are not as lucky to get a second chance!
EMOTION CHOKES YOU, THE LIFE TRANSFORMATION FOR THESE LIONS IS WORTH ALL THE WORK YOU DO ;THANKYOU
When they half-stumble out of the cages into their new homes though and then they sit there and just stare at the surrounding space.........chokes me right up. Absolutely incredible!
I cry everytime I watch one of these rescues. Such a shame there is a need for such rescues, but thank God there are people dedicated to carry them out. Its a disgrace what some do to such amazing animals, but it restores faith in the human spirit to see the true love in these people for abused animals.
I cried so hard for these beautiful beings... tears of joy. I'm happy I've found your site. Big big hugs!
Amazing story of caring humans for lions. Thank you all for helping them.
Thank you Born Free Foundation for all the wonderful work you do! NO animals should ever be caged. All should live free, as they are born free.
Crying tears of joy and gratitude for these wonderful people!! Wish they would give a few minutes more of them doing there thing after they’re released... it’s so beautiful!!! 💕🐾🙏🏻🐾💕🐾💕🐾🙏🏻

Makes me cry. I am so very grateful they are now free.
Thank you BORN FREE!!! The look.on their faces at the end like they was smiling brings us to tear's. All the suffering and torture is over they are home where they belong not in some circus living in a small box hardly getting food!
Thanks, to all of you at Born Free Foundation!!
Thank you very much for your help for these poor animals suffering under hands of human

Thanks from Brazil
Love them..Thank you all..God bless you...
Brings tears! Such joy is communicated by the lions, I cannot help but be affected by it. I hope they live long, happy lives. And it's wonderful that they have each other.
Well done to all of you at the Born Free Foundation. You are my heroes and I am so grateful for all you do to help these big cats. I felt very emotional watching this - keep up the fantastic job you are doing.
God bless your efforts and your good deeds.
Watching the lion run off in the free grass was so awesome, but sad as well because they never could do this before. You can just see the happiness when he is running.
Wonderful to see them arrive at home!!
what u guys do is totally amazing, it's so nice to see these lions back where they belong
The feeling I got when they rubbed heads wow love them and so happy far them that they were able to get out of that pit circus
What a lovely heading and story. Made my day. Pakistan salutes all heroes.
Join the revolution to setting our animals free! Love you my brothers and sisters
Just to be able to walk free has got to feel amazing. It's sad that the mistreated life they've lived has kept them from being real lions but I'm sure they'll love it here :)
I love rescue story of lions and tigers...what a team. God bless the rescuer. I want to rescue all of them. I never did like circus growing up.
my heart cries tears of joy and hoping all lions still caged from having been so against what is NATURAL will be free, soon.
What a couple of noble lads
Thankyou very very much and respect to "born free" because they can't SPEAKE !
Bless you all! God bless! Love these animals gorgeous!
Is there any update videos these days? Would love to see how they are doing now after being home for a while.
That's what joy looks like.
AMEN TO THAT! ABSOLUTELY!! THANK YOU❤️❤️❤️
I just cried and cried at this....so awesome
Very touching, I almost started to weep :)
So heartwarming! God bless you all.
The king is back to his kingdom.
Thank you for saving the lions, they are amazing animals.

ein herzliches dankeschöön an alle die es ermöglicht haben.

Everytime I see (in videos) Virginia McKenna, I stand up, bow and say 'Long Live The Queen, for animals and for mankind'.
KEEP WILDLIFE IN THE WILD!
Thank you for helping them
How much space do they have to roam free? Wonderful!
I hope the damage and trauma of these lions is NOT irreversible.
god bless these people
So happy for them
Thanks for saving
God bless Born free
This was so great, hope they live a happy life and get a couple of lioness companions and have kids.
Love shamwari .. best in the world.
fantastic to see !!
Great. I'm glad the sanctuary is a controlled enclosure. I was worried they would be released into an open sanctuary, like the one Cecil was in. These are necessary, otherwise they might be lured off the sanctuary to be hunted and shot by some stinking, rich-ass, American trophy hunter.
That's exactly what Walter Palmer did last year when he killed Cecil. He paid $50,000 to do it, too, so he must have had some money. There's a whole organization devoted to killing endangered and exotic animals. They have "requirements" of killing "x" amount of each type of animal.
So we must continue to work to save these animals... from man.
+Marige OBrien Agreed! That rich-ass American was a dentist and I sincerely hope his life is ruined!! "In June 2015, Walter Palmer, an American dentist and recreational game hunter from Minnesota, reportedly paid US$50,000 to a professional hunter / guide, Theo Bronkhorst"
Denine Mishoe Oh, yes, I followed that story, too. The only good it served was to shine a light on a very dark part of America: those that still safari hunt. They should all be ashamed.
I am an 'american'. Shame here...is impossible and never was a part of the vocabulary. Can't be !!!
Marige OBrien It should be illegal for anyone to pay money to go someplace to simply kill an animal for a trophy' People doing this should be put in jail. Let them find out what life inside a cage is like.
If you think it's only Americans doing these safaris then you're on dope.People from all over the world go there. Since it's legal where people go to hunt your fight should be with the government of that country for allowing it.
Virginia is a saint what she has done for these beautiful animals is unreal X
Shame on humans who abuse animals either domestic or wild
🏆🏆respect !! u are great !
Sir, I admire the work that you and your team do, to counter-balance the wrongs done to this magnificent animal. Your generosity and dedication does you credit, and on behalf of all lions and animal lovers
thanks you.
we call Lion. Long live to the real king.
Wonderful! Thanks so much!
Salute for team

WOW, such dedication.
God bless animals life
Happiness 😍😍😍😍
Sois geniales
thank u bulgaria!
It's a shame how mankind think that they supposed to rule animals. I'm looking at these animals in these cages and they look so sad. How would mankind like to be caged up put in the circus and to Be Tamed. That's what's wrong with mankind today everything he puts his hands he on he destroys don't care what it is. Who give them the right to rule anything or anybody. Those animals when they got into that enclosure they couldn't believe what they were feeling under their feet and I look at this video and I'm happy for them because they are in their natural habitat. Thank God for the people who rescue them because if they didn't they would have died an untimely death. We need to do away with zoos and circuses. Maybe mankind should be destroyed and let the animals roam the Earth because they have more damn sense than humans.
Using the animals in sircus must be forbidden.
god bless them
Ai eu oro a Deus para ajudar mais ainda essas pessoas que fazem Bem ! Animais nao foram feito para circo.
Thanks !!!
Wonderful rescue!! Did you do this together with 4 paws international?
Tigers from US should go back too
@@isitoveryet9525 tigers belongs to India
It's amazing
God save animals life from bad human.amen.
🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩nice, good job
Hello! excellent video turned out! Like put # 251! and we welcome you )
I clicked to see the lions come into their new world. Just a few brief clips of lions. Mostly video selfie of a bunch of humans congratulating themselves.
Tears are falling 😭, Why are we as humans so fucked up and why do we do these disgusting things to Animals?
I'm so happy they get to live a better life. 👍🏼 💕
Thank You for sharing this beautiful story with me. I have a question: there is an amazing vet in Spain his name is Viktor Larkhill. I just finished watching a video of his where he saved a lion cubs life by rescue. The cub was not able to eat. It needed it's esophagus made larger so he could swallow food. Now the cub is better. I wanted to ask if you took in small Cubs?
It's impossible to stop tears when they step out of container in the soil they belong to. How cruel is to keep these animals in cages. Circuses are ugly and should be banned.
Please post more lion videos🙏💙
CIRKUSES in Europe continue to survive and function. The animals are forever forced to perform, in life of exploitation and captivity for human greed, this is 2018, please keep on signing petitions. There is no more need for this horrendous treatment of wild animals. THANK YOU GUYS!!!
Will their area ever be enlarged? So grateful for their release but the area is not very big for 2 roaming lions.
