Rescued lions having fun with pumpkins on Halloween

The ADI Wildlife Sanctuary in South Africa is home to 42 lions and tigers - all, bar one, rescued from a life suffering, fear and deprivation in circuses in South America. Despite all that they have endured, they love to play their annual games of pumpkin kick-pounce-catch. They release their inner kitten! Enrichment like this helps keep the animals engaged, active and healthy both physically and mentally. Can you help give a lion or tiger a treat this Halloween?

I visit ADI website to watch these rescued animals to destress.

Bless you and them they look happy and care free. Circuses should be banned worldwide. Dark and ugly places. Lol at 1:31 too cute. I will try to donate. I've just moved in a new place so my budget is tight but I will as soon as I can 🙇‍♀️ Please everyone give even 5$ if you can.

On my end I see no thumbs down. Maybe they were removed.

I didn't know they liked pumkins 🙂

[@deletedleaf2688]

Dogs love them too! It helps bung them up if needed and they like it anyway, win-win 💕🎃

[@IndomitableT]

Lunkis. To play with and tear them apart, yes! They love a pumpkin for clawing, gnawing, kicking, biting, etcetera🎃🦁😁
