Once abandoned in Kuwait City, Shujaa has grown into a strong, confident male. His life now at ADIWS in South Africa, is a long way from being a #TrophyPet in a city in the desert. This is his natural environment and the life he was always meant to live. #EndPetTrade

Even lions get worn out playing at ADIWS. An unwanted #TrophyPet Dhubiya was dumped in the desert in Kuwait. Thankfully someone saw her & from there she headed home to Africa.

LET SLEEPING LIONS LIE. Shujaa enjoys a blissful, winter sunbathe at the ADI Wildlife Sanctuary, South Africa. We are not sure what he’s dreaming about, but we’re sure it is not the concrete jungle of Kuwait City he was rescued from! #Kuawait6 #TrophyPet

Four months after his intestinal cancer diagnosis Muheeb is still defying the odds & going strong. Dr Caldwell checked in on him last week & was impressed with his condition. Born in the illegal pet trade, Kuwait, Muheeb was kept as a #trophypet for 4 years. #ADIWildlifeSanctuary

RESCUED LION’S EASTER BOX HUNT. Saham hunts down a box filled with hay and catnip hanging in one of the trees in the ADI Wildlife Sanctuary South Africa.
Saham was once a #TrophyPet but was abandoned in Kuwait City when his owner tired of his status symbol.

MUHEEB was rescued from the illegal #TrophyPet trade in Kuwait and came to ADIWS last year. Recently, he was diagnosed with inoperable intestinal cancer. We are monitoring him closely. As you can see from his reaction to his Easter catnip boxes, this inspirational lion is not giving up on life yet!

Yawning with Muheeb. It’s halfway through the week and Muheeb, who was rescued from the illegal #TrophyPet trade in Kuwait last year, is feeling relaxed in the ADI Wildlife Sanctuary, South Africa. He remains as happy and playful as ever despite his intestinal cancer diagnosis. #EndPetTrade

Dhubiya is enjoying lazy days at the ADIWS, South Africa. She was once a #TrophyPet but when she was no longer wanted, was dumped in the desert outside Kuwait City to die. Luckily she was spotted and together with 6 others from the same cruel trade came home to a life in Africa. #ADIWS #StopPetTrade

Muheeb was rescued from the illegal #TrophyPet trade in Kuwait and came to ADIWS in May last year. He was diagnosed with in-operable intestinal cancer earlier this year, we are doing everything we can to give him the best possible life for the time he has with us.

The young lions were rescued from Kuwait’s illegal #TrophyPet trade last year and are growing fast – they’re going to be very big, very lively lions. Check comments for more about the boys and their rescue.

SAIF”S SCIENCE LESSON. It’s Valentine’s Week and the animals are getting treats at the ADIWS in South Africa. For Saif, one of 6 lions rescued last year by ADI from the illegal #TrophyPet trade in Kuwait, it’s his first Valentine’s Week and he puts to the test whether the world could be flat! ENJOY

Muheeb is settled & relaxed is a room full of hay & a tunnel allowing him to sit outside. Rescued from the illegal #TrophyPet trade in Kuwait, it is likely he has health issues due to in-breeding by the unscrupulous dealers. Please send love for Muheeb.

MUHEEB'S ON HIS WAY. Muheeb has been loaded at the ADI Wildlife Sanctuary and is on his way to Old Chapel Veterinary Clinic where Dr Peter Caldwell will examine him and undertake further tests to establish the cause of his weight loss. Keep rooting for this lovely boy! #TrophyPet
