Four lion cubs rescued from Ukraine have found a new home at a wildlife sanctuary in the woods of Minnesota.
. “They were born at breeding facilities in Ukraine, during the war and then orphaned at a few weeks old.”
The cubs survived sporadic bombings and drone attacks, according to the animal welfare group, before making an arduous 36-hour journey to Poland three weeks ago.The cubs were cared for on the flight by an American veterinarian. International regulations for transporting animals specify that they must be kept in a temperature-controlled environment, and the space for the cubs on the plane was pressurized, the welfare group said.
“Because of the generosity of our supporters, we can provide lifelong care to big cats at our sanctuary,” she said in a statement.Tales of heroic animal rescues have surfaced throughout the conflict.
