There is nothing wrong with a circus as a concept in general, it's how they actually treat the animals that makes it okay or not. I hope these people had actual proof these lions were not being treated well before they went and took them from people. They could have been very loved.

There are several videos of them rescuing animals, mainly big cats. It appears they are a retired couple who use their considerable wealth (rescues of this scale eat money like you wouldn't believe) to rehome animals that should never be pets or "zoo attractions". They have special cages built, charter planes, et cetera, so they probably spend millions on their mission, so far.

You can't take it with you, right, and doing something really cool with it sure feels good ... especially considering how few of those magnificent creatures are left. We keep encroaching on their territory and their life, so every single one saved is precious, and valuable to the species.

When I heard that all 30 of them were roaring at the same time on the airplane and again at sunrise and sunset, I was moved. Years ago, our family was treated to a behind the scenes tour of the San Diego Wildlife Preserve. We went into the holding cage where one male tiger was held for a week or so while another male tiger was out in the habitat. I had our one year old daughter on my hip, and when the tiger roared, I RAN from the room that held the cage, straight outside. It was that fight or flight instinct that I'd never felt before! Their roar is SO loud and rumbling that you have to admire it. I could imagine 30 of them at one time. Majestic! (And terrifying, if you're in the wrong place!)

As a Peruvian, to the team interviewed in this video, thank you for rescuing these animals so much. Quite a few people don't care much for animals here, and there's a culture aspect called "viveza" where people don't protest against injustice and even do it as long as it benefits them. Thank you for overcoming all the people who had those defects, and I hope you got help from the kindness some other Peruvians represent. As for the lions, as their names, Rey and Simba, suggest, they are kings and deserve basic respect at least. It makes me delighted they could taste freedom for the first time in their lives!

@@a.w.thompson4001 Western societies aren't 'raised to love and care for animals'. They mass kill and breed vulnerable animals for meat, fur, eggs, dairy and perpetrate unimaginable horrors while pretending they specifically care for animals kept as pets. Your comment attempts to portray white people in the global north as the standard for empathy and compassion towards animals as a marker for 'civility' while othering 'cultures where the attitude is very different' as cruel and uncivilised. You 'thanking' a person from Peru for describing animal abuse taking place in their country is patronisingly pandering to white supremacy delusions, thinking themselves civil, kind, caring for those they consider inferior, like animals and people of colour.

Those people are not defects, rather it is a set of social defects. After 500 years of colonialism and neo-colonialism, where people are treated brutally, it's easy to become brutal as a reaction. Ayacucho massacre is an example of how brutal and corrupt the institutions built up over 500 years to crush the people and rob them have gotten. That this event was allowed to happen is an indication that the people are starting to gain some sovereignty and with it the dignity that is necessary to extend dignity to others.
