A family of six Siberian tigers has been relocated from an animal shelter in the Netherlands to the Lionsrock big cat sanctuary near Bethlehem in the Free State where they can finally live a true tiger life.
The organisation Four Paws says the tigers - parents and four of their offspring – now hav the opportunity to live a life fit for a tiger in huge enclosures “under the South African sun‚ feeling for the first time in their lives grass under their paws‚ having the opportunity to run‚ to play and to swim in the specially built pools”.
“They originally come from very bad keeping conditions. The long trip from the Netherlands to South Africa was more than worth it. Here in Lionsrock these tigers can start a second life appropriate to their needs‚” said Heli Dungler‚ founder and president of Four Paws.
