Three lions terrified by the shelling happening in Ukraine have been rescued by the Yorkshire Wildlife Park in the UK. The Wildlife Foundation, which is based at the park, launched a campaign for funding. Now the three happy lions have a new forever home away from the strife of war. This is the third time the Yorkshire Wildlife Park has stepped in to help.

@noni1959 you can imagine if many do not have time for humans they certainly won't think of animals and so I am glad someone has

In such terrible times, it's easy to forget the zoos and wildlife parks.
