US animal sanctuary adopts Ukraine's orphaned lion cubs

 


According to the International Fund for Wildlife Welfare, four orphaned lion cubs who also endured the worst of the Ukraine-Russian War have found a safe haven at a Minnesota animal refuge.

Out of the four, Taras is the only male, and Stefania, Lesya, and Prada are the three female pups. They are all four to five months old and have spent the last three weeks resting after their 36-hour journey out of Ukraine at the Poznan Zoo in Poland, according to additional information. These cubs have endured bombs and drone assaults before being shipped to Poland in October.

These cubs have gone through more in their little lives than any animal should, according to Meredith Whitney, manager of the Wildlife Rescue Program at the International Fund for Animal Welfare. They were orphaned at a young age after being born in breeding facilities in Ukraine during the conflict, she continued.

The Andrew Sabin Foundation helped to fund a portion of the nine-hour travel from Poland to Minnesota. "The area reserved for the cubs on the plane was pressurised and temperature-controlled in accordance with international norms for the transportation of animals. The cubs flew to the US with Dr. Kushnir, who played a crucial role in their rescue, care, and transfer out of Ukraine "The International Fund for Animal Welfare provided additional information about it.

On November 29, the plane touched down, and after the passengers had cleared customs, caregivers were waiting to take the cubs from the airport to the refuge. These cubs were flown into the United States in wooden crates that were specially made for them, according to ABC News. They were also quickly unloaded into a warm indoor enclosure with lots of food, drink, and toys once they arrived at the sanctuary.

The journey of the cubs was chronicled by American veterinarian Dr. Andrew Kushnir on his official Instagram page. He captioned the photo, saying, "Getting these cubs out of Ukraine during the war has been one of the most challenging and beautiful experiences of my Life and I'll miss looking after them deeply."
