Global animal welfare organisation Four Paws has successfully transferred a 5-year-old white lion named Romeo to its Lionsrock Big Cat Sanctuary in South Africa.
Romeo previously belonged to a circus owner who exploited him for performances. He was kept in a tiny cage inside a truck when he was not forced to perform. In August 2023, Romeo was rescued by Belgian wild animal sanctuary Natuurhulpcentrum.
