Meet Kimba. He's the 25th lion to be rescued by ADI in a record-breaking mission to empty Bolivia of every circus animal in the country. This follows the 2010 rescue of four lions, and will bring the overall total of lions rescued from Bolivia by ADI to a staggering 29.
Kimba's Story:
A specialist ADI team flew down to Tarija in southern Bolivia and returned with an elderly lion called Kimba, lion number 25.
Kimba had been living in a small concrete zoo enclosure for the past 11 years after being dumped there by a travelling circus. Before Kimba was rescued, ADI and the Bolivian authorities swooped on circuses all over Bolivia and confiscated all of their animals. Indigenous or domestic animals were homed in Bolivia, and ADI airlifted all the lions to the US. Bolivia's DGB had requested ADI take the old lion.
ADI flew down to Tarija in a C130 Hercules that had seen service in the Vietnam War. They took one of the crates that had already been prepared for the Operation Lion Ark airlift
At the zoo, the ADI team had to break down a wall and cut through metal railings to get to Kimba, but he was soon lured into the travel crate by ADI President Jan Creamer. He was then driven to the airport, with members of the Tarija public applauding on the roadside, and loaded onto the TAB cargo aircraft. It was a smooth hour flight back to Santa Cruz, during which Kimba was very relaxed and showed no signs of stress, before a slow drive to the ADI Operation Lion Ark compound. The ADI team, including a veterinarian, joined Kimba on the flight and were able to monitor him throughout.
In the ADI compound Kimba saw and heard other lions for the first time, he went straight into his new holding cage and had a meal before calling to the other lions.
The dramatic lion rescue began in November 2010 when, in a series of seizures all over Bolivia, ADI working with the Bolivian authorities including the DGB and Santa Cruz Governor's Office, started to remove the animals from different circuses spread across the country.
The moves were to enforce Bolivia's Law 4040 which bans the use of animals in circuses, which came into force after ADI officers went undercover to expose the horrific abuse in circuses across South America. The legislation effectively shut down the country's animal circus industry at a stroke -- the first time such a thing has happened in the world.
The huge rescue operation -- the first time a country's animal circus industry has been shut down in this way -- attracted the backing of a number of celebrities including Bob Barker, Jorja Fox, Brian Blessed, Twiggy and a host of others who called on the public to send donations to help the rescue.
