He spent the last 13 years of his life in a Brazilian circus. Will the lion lived for years in a cramped, cold, empty cage. Fortunately, after more than a decade of suffering, he was rescued from the Rancho do Gnomos sanctuary, which is dedicated to giving a new life to abused or neglected domestic, wild and exotic animals.
Most of the animals in the sanctuary come from captivity and are helped by staff to adapt to the new freedom. In a thrilling video, this gorgeous lion is immortalized while touches the grass for the first time. He seems to understand that he will never have to suffer in a small cage again.
"Will was born in captivity (the circus), is already a middle-aged lion and has suffered several consequences from mistreatment, internal, external and psychological (the animals arrive with serrated and torn claws and teeth). Even if we were able to offer him an African reserve environment (since he is an exotic animal belonging to the African fauna), Will would no longer be able to live in freedom and would depend on veterinary care and human nutrition ", explain the volunteers in the comments of the video, become viral with thousands of views.
From now on, Will will have a quiet and dignified life. He will never again participate in the shows that have ridiculed him in the past. In their place will be able to see grass every day. Her slavery is finally over.
