These beautiful creatures live only in South Africa and have for hundreds of years. However now there are no white lions left in the wild left in the world and many of the ones in Zoo’s are hunted and killed by tourists for entertainment. Yet there is hope The Royal White Lion Protection Trust have already reintroduced lions into their natural habitat and are doing all they can to stop this hunting of the white lions.
Marah was born in a canned hunting camp meaning that when she was older she would be killed by hunters. She would be brought up tame and taught not to fear humans then when she was at her fittest a tourist would pay to kill her. This was her fate.
However Linda Tucker the founder of the Royal White Lion Protection Trust heard about her. Marah’s dad had been stolen so Linda Tucker managed to rescue her. She was born on Christmas day and lived a long happy life, had cubs. None of this would have been possible if it wasn’t for The Royal White Lion Protection Trust.

1) No
ReplyDelete2) Yes, of course!
3) I already had a similar view from the start, but I understand a little more how horrific it is
Good luck, Caitlin R 9B
No, I had never heard of this charity before, but I would now consider donating to save these wonderful creatures. It has certainly educated me more on the brutal slaughter of these animals, changing my opinion in that I know think they need to be saved.
ReplyDeleteI had never heard of the Royal White Lion Protection Trust before reading your blog. It sounds like and amazing charity.
ReplyDeleteI would definitely consider donating to the charity.
You have changed my opinion on white lions because before I didn't think that it was really a problem but now I really think that something needs to be done.
