#TrainTigers

#TrainTigers 🐯🐯🇦🇷🐯🐯: 'Everything is going to be fine in the end. If it's not fine, it's not the end!' (Oscar Wilde)
After a journey of over 70 hours, the four tigers arrived at our LIONSROCK Big Cat Sanctuary and our team was relieved to see how well they have managed this long trip. ✈️
Take a look at the special first moments of the big cats stepping onto the grass in South Africa and watch them bravely explore their new home. We are so proud of Messi, Sandro, Mafalda, and Gustavo - words can’t describe the emotions we all feel after this successful rescue mission! 💚
➡️ Get your tissues ready for some tears while watching this and stay tuned for more updates on the tigers soon...

I have no word to express my appreciation for transporting 4 TIGERS from Argentina to S. Africa. This is so wonderful and I hope the tigers will adapt in this new environment which is so much better. God knows how many cases similar with this one are and animals are objects of human cruelty. Bless you Four Paws team.

Tigers in South Africa 🇿🇦 ? They do not belong here, but in Asia

[@donnamoyer6330]

​@Inkogneto2023 they're in a sanctuary. Watch the video for an education. They DO belong in south Africa! Not locked up in a train. They deserve to be free, just like you!

[@VSP4591]

Yes, this is true. But they do not belong to Argentina. Some crazy people took these tigers, probably for a circus, and abandoned them in a train, in the middle of nowhere, in Argentina. What to do in this case. Probably in Asia they would kill them to prepare some medicine from their bones, skins and other organs as it is the situation in many cases. The tigers do not deserve such a fate. It was a great luck to be transported in S. Africa in this sanctuary. We have to be grateful to 4 Paws for this.@@unwoke1652

[@Reptile_Gecko]

@@unwoke1652 okay, then find them a suitable sanctuary space in Asia, then come back.. Lion's Rock South Africa has many non native species that do not belong in Africa period, but they do belong in suitable captive situations were they can feel far more free and truly be the wild animals they are.

[@martibosier6272]

OMG

[@mar8888]

Dr. Khalil and team are wonderful 💚😭! I can't thank Four Paws enough for their continued hard work and dedication to these beautiful animals who desperately needed help, dignity and respect. Much much love and support to Four Paws, as always. Amazing and important work. Please never stop!💚💪🏽🙌🏾👏🏽👏🏽🥰😍🤩🤩😭

[@cshirmer8416]

God bless ! 🙏🐅🐅🐅🐅🙏 Thank you for your companion and hard work !❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@GB-qu1kq]

Finally a life worth living. So sad that the Tiger's had to endure much cruelty and long year's in what was effectively a prison! They have done nothing wrong. They deserve respect as all our fellow wild inhabitants of Planet Earth do. Well done Four Paws and the people who made the Tiger's lives worth living again. 👍🇬🇧🌹

To Africa?

[@lorrainedrake6462]

The emotions tell it all happiness all round I feel for the boy who is loosing his sight missing out on what the others can see but he must feel such joy in being released and taking in all feel and smells around him . Thank you each and every one involved in making this come true for them 👏👏🥰

[@Reptile_Gecko]

@@irenedavo3768 That comment alone show your lack of knowledge.. the animals belong in a safe captive environment period, it does not matter that they are not native to Africa, as they will NEVER be a part of their wild environment anyways and have never had the experiences there, meaning ANYWHERE in the world can be home to them.

[@marybarratt2649]

We are proud of Dr. Amir. He has been involved in some wonderful rescues. He is a hero. Thank you doesn't seem enough. Blessings.

[@lisasutherland-fraser4479]

Freedom is such a beautiful thing, no matter what form it takes.

[@Praveencapri]

My sincere appreciation to all the donors, the teams involved in the smooth relocation of these wonderful tigers.

[@juliaweber212]

I totally agree they are heroes

[@MissAnShi]

it's just amazing how long these tigers survived in a cage.. I was very happy to donate, but I am even more happy to see the task that has been accepted and accomplished here. I've been following this story for months and I'm just happy and grateful that four paws is doing such a great job! Please never stop! I wish all employees of four paws strength, happiness and health on all their journeys.

[@yvettealford999]

Phenomenal !. Relief ! Thank you to everyone who made this possible.

[@Fadedecho1]

A giant step for them tigers. What a beautiful thing. Saving the tigers is crucial. Keep up the great work PAWS!!! ❤

[@laurasharp7955]

Thank you Four Paws, whilst they are not in there land of origin, it is great to see them free

[@IndomitableT]

It is somewhat odd indeed, however I am certain that if there was such a sanctuary in their land of origin, they would have been brought there. The environmental and climate conditions in South Africa, though not the same, are similar enough with the ones in their land of origin. Since they have probably never known the circumstances there, I suppose this is the next best, right?🐅🥹

[@aboveitall1653]

@@IndomitableT ------ I think this debate is unneccessary. There are only so many people who will donate to this type of thing and only limited donated money to help wildlife, so if there had been a sanctuary in South America, that is where they should have gone.

[@IndomitableT]

@@aboveitall1653. Tigers in South America?🤔 That cannot be right🐅

[@FOURPAWSInternational]

Dear AboveItAll, based on the current regulations in Argentina, all big cats should live in natural reserves but there is currently no existing facility that can fulfil these legal requirements. Furthermore, tigers are not native species in South America either. FOUR PAWS can provide the closest to the tigers´ species-appropriate environment at Lionsrock. The FOUR PAWS sanctuary already provides home for other rescued tigers. Thank you for your interest! Best, the FOUR PAWS team

[@aboveitall1653]

@@FOURPAWSInternational - I contributed some money to send the tigers to the sanctuary in Africa. My comment was to those people who think there are endless funds to re-locate captive animals to their native countries.

[@sonja437]

Thank you 4 Paws. So happy for the big cats to feel the Earth, and the magical healing that comes with this connection. So Happy for these big cats. May they live long, healthy and blessed.

[@laurenrovner3715]

I have seen several of Four Paws' Rescues by now. To witness the emotion in the great Dr. Khalil is a privilege. What a special human he is. He never fails to credit his whole team. Their work is exceptional.
