After 20 Long Years In Captivity, Circus Lion Tastes Freedom For The First Time

Mufasa was torn from the wild and has endured the worst possible life, Creamer said. [His] story symbolizes the suffering we have ended. Though Mufasa's story is heartbreaking on its own, he was just one of nearly 100 animals saved during ADI's rescue operations, including lions, bears, monkeys, birds and a tiger, all of whom were rescued from circuses and are now recovering from their long years of abuse.
