Family Loses Home To Keep Their Tigers And Lions

SUBSCRIBE to Barcroft Animals: bit.ly/2ceCJY0
A SOUTH AFRICAN family are living in an isolated trailer - so they can provide their tigers and lions a home. The Fernandes family once owned the luxurious Jugomaro Predator Park, which was home for their pet tigers and lions for seven years.The beautiful enclosures and fields the size of football pitches meant their beloved big cats had a five-star complex and were even allowed to go inside the family house. But sadly, in November 2015, the luxurious retreat was demolished when owner Rosa and her children, Justin and Maxine, ran into financial difficulties and the liquidators gained control of their home and dumped their possessions in a waste pile - leaving their six lions, 10 tigers, three caracals and one jaguar with no home. This detrimental change of circumstance forced the distraught family to flee to a section of land in Krugersdorp, South Africa, where they are currently living in a trailer and have to wash and go to the toilet in the nearest bushes. But despite all of their loss, the trio put everything they have into their beloved pets that now live in smaller enclosures just 50 metres away from their trailer home.
You can follow the family’s journey on their Facebook page, where they accept donations in order to help them rebuild their dream park: / jugomaro

[@aimeeburrell7821]

Unfortunatley Yee, it is video's like this that bring out people such as you. It is nice to think that you can look after them but the lions in this video are Overweight, are not displaying natural behaviours. There are ways that we can save these animals and by cuddling them and hvaing them in your backgarden will not save them.

Government paying for things lol yeah sure, they are the first at wanting you to pay the taxes as fast as possible but when it's about helping they take years, i never expect Governments to help anyone they would definetly be better at trying to find some good people with money to donate.

[@zoemasterofair4861]

Yeah I get ya but they aren't the only people who are capable of caring for the animals so if the government could afford that they wouldn't pay it they would all be shipped off to some other place.

[@akita9221]

Max K animals matter just as much as humans we are destroying their homes and killing some we are making there home horrible and yet some people choose to help them and you say there are other things we should donate to but that is unfair to animals I mean sure the things you mentioned are things worth donating to but so are animals they have a life to live too they have families to care about and there are some animals becoming extinct because of humans just think about how they feel too not just us

[@Magic1eaf]

Because there are over seven BILLION people in the world. While there are around only 3000 tigers left in the world. Humans need to start seeing that we are not the only ones in this world and we share it with other living things.

[@codergames]

The solution is to build a system that doesn't require money to do something like this. We have a responsibility toward all species, after all, it's the fault of companies that species are going extinct, therefore companies need to pay tax for this and not common people to be asked to donate.

[@JKZ103]

It's the fault of the government for waiting to late to make laws against poaching and hunting. The companies have nothing to do with this. animals are not protected like they should be in 2nd to 3rd world countries. And if you think taxes should fix this then that means you pay for it. Why dknt you donate then alo g with all these people with nice things to say. But they all say the same thing. "I hope someone gives them money".... why arent they giving 5 or 10 dollars or even 1 dollar? It all adds up... Hypocrites

These animals were most likely born and raised in captivity, if they were released into the wild they'd have no idea how to fend for themselves and end up dying, keeping them in captivity is a lot better for them

I saw this video story almost 2 years ago, I have been broken hearted ever since to be powerless financially to do any thing about it. My luck financially has not changed since then, play the lottery many many times but not luck at all. I, having the financial means, I would have gone and financially rescue the exotic natural preserve real estate by paying off that mortgage in full and by donating 350,000 dollars in the yearly basis to help with the cost of feeding the exotic wild life. You fully demonstrated beyond the shadow of the doubt that family is family and no matter what family can't not ever be abandoned not mater what. For everything that you folks have done for the wild life and for much more, I am forever grateful to you all. God bless you. Antonio
