Drakenstein Lion park, “Samson”
As promised, here is the next article about the Drakenstein Lion Park :
As explained it in the previous post, the Drakenstein Lion Park is a place where lions have access to a new and better life.
This week we decided to tell you Samson’s story.
Samson in his new home
Samson was born in approximately 2003 and was rescued and arrived at the Sanctuary on 10/12/2008.
Samson was rescued from a French circus where he was kept in the most appalling conditions. He spent most of his life in solitary confinement, jailed in a small circus trailer with barely enough room to move.
Samson’s relocation was made possible by :
Refuge De Le Arche, Foundation Assistance Aux Animaux and Animal Travel Services (www.animal-travel.com/) who once again assisted with the import free of charge.
Samson’s enclosure was sponsored by the Marchig Animal Welfare Trust.
