LEANING her emaciated body against the small rusty cage, starving lioness Anetta paws at the bars forlornly as the days count down to her pride's execution. For Anetta and 13 other kings and queens of the jungle - some too weak to stand or even roar

Here's what you can do

HELP save these tragic lions by sending donations to the Wildlife Heritage Foundation who are collecting cash on the Yorkshire Wildlife Park's behalf.


You can donate electronically to the fund from your online bank. The Barclays account number is 00623016 and the sort code is 20-20-37.


Or you can send a cheque made payable to the Wildlife Heritage Foundation to: Save The Lions, Yorkshire Wildilfe Park, Branton, Doncaster, DN3 3NH.


The park is also raising funds through www.lionrescue.co.uk which will contain a link to the same bank account.

Those poor lions. Starved and kept from her natural behavior. They must be saved. Lions are endangered. They are beautiful animals. To let them be executed is cruel. They must be saved no matter what the cost. They have the right to go home. Back to the wild where they belong. Where they can no longer see bars of cages and people who mean to hurt them. They must be saved.
