When they rubbed their faces to each other, I felt like they were reassuring each other that everything is going to be ok. It brought a tear to my eyes.
read your comment before watching and thought "that doesn't sound very emotional" and now I'm bawling my eyes out! It's amazing to see how deep and meaningful relationships animals are capable of creating despite the worst of circumstances.
@@Chiko4579 The fact the you are good proves that there are still some good people in the world. You just need to find them and hopefully ask them to work together to make even a part of this world a better place. The US natives needs to work together to help each other as the US gov't has abandoned you.
This is why I loathe 99% of the human race!! They are only out for themselves no matter who or what animal they hurt.. The other percentage are people like the people helping this tiger out. These Bengal tigers are endangered and damn close to being extinct but some humans continue to hunt them for BS reasons..
@@mrrsnlk03: Holy Ghost filled ppl of God are the kindest and most compassionate ppl on earth full of godly love and gentleness. One must remember that Satan is the prince of this world, and he goes back and forth over the earth trying to bring as many ppl as possible to hell with him because his days are numbered and very short now. Adam & Eve really messed by disobeying God and given in to Satan, which cursed mankind through their disobedience, but Christ created a way for us to escape the wiles of the devil through the Holy Ghost, but we must obey Acts 2:38 in order to receive the Spirit of Christ. We cannot do whatever we want in this life if we wish to make it into the Kingdom. Sacrifices must be made in this life in order to inherit the next one, which is for all eternity. What is 70-100 years of life on this planet compared to everlasting life? There is no comparison, but humans have a difficult time seeing an inch beyond our own noses, and we live for the moment not thinking about the eternal consequences. I've lived on both sides of the fence, and I received the Holy Ghost at age 19, and I chose Christ every time. God is so good to us humans even though we don't deserve his grace and mercy. 🔑Acts 2:38🕊
It was absolutely heart breaking story! So so many years in a middle of nowhere in a wagon...and there were 4 tigers there...all rescued to South Africa...
Absolutely. My heart aches for him too to the point I started crying. I couldn’t imagine what was going through his mind. But he overcame it and life is wonderful now for them both. My heart can rest now 😊😊
Seeing them reunite within their larger enclosure, nuzzle heads, and recognize that together they are finally free…most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen.
How can kings be treated like this. The fact that they held it together during 15 years of cruelty amazes me. Those first soft steps must have been surreal
@@shuffman8094 Yeah but they won't survive in the wild, since they knew nothing but this cage they were in. Also, wild Tigers usually live between 10-15 years so they are really old already.
@@larrymunn5279 Not only each other, but now a new, healthy environment in which they can thrive! That part tugged so hard at my heart strings. I'm so happy for them, and grateful for those wonderful people.
It was really touching how the man was interpreting everything they were doing. He has a genuine love and understanding for them. So happy they finally got to live a life.
That man is Dr. Amir Khalil. He is the head vet for many rescues at Four Paws International. I've been binging many similar big cat rescue stories where he guides his team to rescue lions all over the world❤
@@fractal_mind562 There's always someone to dissect the comment.. they have a lot of space to roam, certainly is better than living in a Train. Those people do the best they can do at placing wildlife where they can. If you have a better place for them go pick them up and take them there.. meanwhile don't bring that energy over here
@@fractal_mind562 Do you really think those tigers would survive in the wild? They've probably never hunted before, they wouldn't survive. So yes, this is the best they can get.
Humans being ENSLAVE billions of pets around the world for 'emotional-support', putting them in boxes(apts and homes, which is as UN-natural environment as possible). Cat's and dogs are NOT children...CHILDREN are children. But I get it: the responsibility of being an an actual engaging/responsible parent is infinitely harder than opening up a can of cat food/dog food. - And THEN we have the sanctimonious vegetarians/vegans, also who never properly bonded with another human being(such as mother/father, whom like the single-mother welfare case is the tragedy of America). The vegans then enslave ANIMALS to then feed them...slaughtered animals!! Save the planet?!?! Make as much sense as consuming 5000 calories a day and washing it down with a Diet-Coke. - Got an cat that goes outdoors? Domesticated cats are responsible worldwide for the decimation of forty(that's 40) percent of the world's bird population, because like psychopaths, they KILL for the sake of killing. - Wasn't that easy?
The cruelty of humans never fails to anger me to the core... But I am glad that kind humans out there did not stand by and do nothing. I wish it didn't take 15 years, but at least they can spend their end of lives with the comfort they deserve.

Moreso than animals we need to push past the hatred to love one another, which is far more important! I am happy for the tigers though they deserve to have a comfy rest of their lives!
This kind of story really put me in a morale conundrum, personally i cant just let it be just "at least it end well". What do you think more ethical for the detested circus owner, to put down the 2 tigers, selling the tigers into someone else, or to put them in 15 years of confinement before eventual rescue?
It's unimaginable to me how anyone could willingly treat innocent beautiful animals like this badly. It's shameful and wrong. So awesome to watch the rescue.
@@MickeyJaymz but the animals have done nothing but live as themselves, they've robbed no banks. Never shot up a school, they just live. Meanwhile we just take.
Really? Typically we treat our own with much worse contempt and abuse. Those who aren't "us" are always degraded to at best mere things. The worst are demonized as less than beings. Many even treat their own as disposable. The natural world is brutal and unforgiving but the human world is much worse.
It’s Africa. Only the strong can worry about others and Africa is a place where everyone is just trying to survive. Takes a former British colony to save the animals from cruelty like this.
That moment, after he finally came out, when the female - his companion in that awful captivity for so many years - was obviously reassuring him was so touching. Four Paws International is a superb organization. Kudos as well to the big cat sanctuary that took these magnificent tigers in. Blessings upon you all! ♥ 🐯🐯

When they rubbed each other showing affection and comforting was really moving and touching ! Glad to see they can enjoy nature & freedom from cruelty 🙏🙏👏
The way they leaned on each other when they were released into the pen was so touching. I can only imagine the bond these two tigers share after going through everything they have with only each other.
That brief moment of them comforting each other is deeper than any emotion I've ever seen shared between humans. Hard to imagine the feeling of pure relief knowing that a lifetime of abuse is finally over and they are safe together at long last. If those tigers could write, this would be a bestseller turned Oscar-winning movie 💗💗💗
When they began nuzzling each other, I lost it! Its like they knew...and was comforting each other. So beautiful!! Thank you for rescuing these magnificent creatures!
The moment they touched each other's nose at the sanctuary you can tell how grateful he was to have her with him at that moment 🥺 and that's the moment that I started sobbing like an infant. I get so angry when I hear about people abusing and neglecting any animal or human so to see these AMAZING people do EVERYTHING in their power to make sure these beautiful creatures were rescued and can live the rest of their days with each other in a beautiful place is such an incredible sight and feeling! 💗 I just wanted to say THANK YOU to everybody who made this possible. No animal should ever have to live like that, they deserve PROTECTION, LOVE and to live in PEACE 🕊️ I'm so thankful to this entire team who gave them exactly that! 🐯🤍🐅
"There is hope. It's never too late" Well said. I can't imagine the living hell these two majestic tigers were living in. So glad they are now in a beautiful healing space where they can live & thrive now.💜
A tiger's average lifespan is 8 years so considering they're more than 15 yrs old, they wont be living long enough to truly experience this beautiful healing space
They are stunning creatures, and they look surprisingly healthy after living in that crate for 15 years. Such a beautiful moment seeing them reunite outside in the grass for the first time. I hope they have many happy years ahead of them.
I was thinking the same thing. They looked very healthy, didn't they? In any case, they have a bigger place to roam now. Tigers in captivity live for around 20/25 years, so they have a few more years to be active together. 🧡
@@nunyabiznes33 eh I mean depending on how much they were fed weekly my concern is are they only going weekly to check on them… I hope they were Atleast giving them fresh water.
@@nunyabiznes33 Well, the thing with that is, if they were fed in large quantities, then it makes sense why they would look healthy enough. Hunting is hard. First you need to find a large prey animal, then you need to catch it and kill it, and most hunts tend to be unsuccessful. Tigers in the wild usually eat their fill once a week or so on average. This isn't the problem, especially seeing how they don't look starved and at least outwardly their hide and eyes look well (teeth are a different story probably). The real crime here is the confinement. Wild animals need to roam. Wild cats need to be able to do cat things. Hell, even domestic cats... I am absolutely against letting them roam in urban environment, and even in rural environment they tend to have shorter lives because wilds be wild. But even urban cats should be vest and leash trained early, and taken to walks in a park or wherever at least twice a week. My hairy little old man of a cat and I will just wait for the night and go explore the streets when the traffic dies down. Sure, he catches a few ticks during summer, but an animal's mental health is just as important as its physical health. So keep the cats happy, both big and small!
@@Killjoy_Mel my current kittie are indoor cats unlike the ones we had in the past that were allowed to roam. I can't really convince them to go outside (but then again our house open directly into the streets).
To see that majestic older male shivering with fear just tore my heart apart. That animal should never know fear. He's the one who is supposed to cause the fear in the wild. Many thanks & blessings to all the people who work so hard to make better lives for these gorgeous creatures, & other animals in bad situations. They are very special people.
You sound like a complete f***wit lmao. So tigers living in fear is somehow more sad than their prey living in fear? 😂 makes no sense at all. Probably some religious nut if that's how you think. The world isn't fair or balanced. Just because something is a predator rather than prey doesn't mean it's life is more valuable
Made me cry so hard when I saw him shivering like he was, it’s sinful how some humans treat people and to treat any animal this way is just so cruel. I hope they can have the next stage of their lives in this paradise, nobody should be able to own these majestic animals the wild is the only true place they should live. I’ve see too many cruel things done to animals it makes me dislike humans Immensely.Some people use the animals make money then leave them no life to enjoy running about the fields . I glad to see they are in a better place, I would love them to go to Forrest and live withmo5her tigers. And have a happy family life 😸😽😼🙏🏽
the shots of them pressing their faces together are beyond extraordinary. they conveyed an emotion that transcends species, we all felt exactly what they did in that moment.
There is no excuse, cultural or poverty included, that justifies the treatment these tigers endured. To take intelligent, endangered animals and leave them in the dark for days while the train moved towns, sweltering in the heat during the summer & freezing in the ice on cold metal, no bed not even straw, nothing to do (solitary confinement when they have done nothing wrong), starving (compared to tigers in the wild, notice how skinny and frail they are - esp. the male) These tigers lived in total misery. Beyond their barren enclosure, at any point in time they were expected to be entertainment?! & You know they don't want the tigers just laying there, what scars lie beneath the fur? I'll bet he was shaking because in the past, he had been let out of the cage for "training”, and naturally tried to enjoy this glimpse of freedom. You know, rather than the impossible expectation that the tiger would be in a focused state, ready to engage with commands & learn tasks. But I've already written too much to try to convey why there is *NO* excuse for this barbaric treatment. To those responsible for this, not just the Circus of Cruelty, the evil who captured, stored, sold, and anyone else within the chain of custody, and circus goers who enjoyed and did not put a stop to this: You belong in that cage. You will be fed barely enough to live, no daylight for days, alone, in sweltering heat and freezing cold, with nothing but your thoughts, and at any point in time, the cage cover can be thrown open, if you are asleep or depressed from the situation, you will be awoken with a sharp prod, and you will see you are in a tiger conservatory. As long as you stay perfectly in the center of the cage, maybe their claws won’t reach you. After 15 weeks, (a mere fraction of time compared to the 15 years the tigers endured) the door will open, and you, frail & trembling, will hope your victims are not around. But they will be. Lastly, since a M&F were your prisoners, I sure hope you have not stolen their cubs. As the same fate will extend to anyone whom was responsible's kids. Anyone who tries to use excuses for why this occurred (and is likely still occurring in Argentina) to justify this happening to these tigers, are looking down on the intuition inherent to every human by nature. This travesty occurred due to greed and bc a number of people passed the buck by telling themselves, “It’s not my job to stop this,” “There’s nothing I can do about it,” or the most insidious: “They probably have a vet that makes sure they’re healthy.” It should not have taken 15 years to save these tigers.
Thank God for people like them! The world needs more of them so all these beautiful animals can be rescued! So glad these 2 were. Now have the people that did that to them take their place in that trailer being fed only once a week...for 30 years!
Hard to believe they're so healthy after living 10 to 15 years in atrocious and confined conditions. It's wonderful that they get to live, at least, their last years in much nicer conditions.
That ideal predators, dude! Look at your cat, or cat of neighborhood. They pretty good after 15 years of life, but cats live in wild nature 4 or 5 years.
@@shoroh70 Yeah, it was a bit clunky to understand, lol. I've heard that domesticated house cats in the US are the same, but left to roam outside only 2-5 years. It's really a shocking difference! People are keeping cats inside more now, thankfully, but there are still some that insist cats "enjoy" the outside more so they put them out. I had a male cat that stayed outdoors for about 8 years that I was sure would lose it if he had to come inside, but I brought him in and he became so relaxed and such a love-bug. He's almost 20 now and I can leave the door open, he will sit there looking out but he won't go out. They live very satisfying lives indoors.
The warmest feeling in my heart, is when animals are saved, living as they should do, and humans doing the right thing - saving and protecting them. Good work, Four Paws. 💖
4:04 to see this majestic creature tremble like that was all that I could take.15years will break even the strongest of hearts.They did not deserve what they were put through.I wish them a speedy and wholesome rehabilitation.
Debra, before I read your comment, I had posted almost the same words. This video moved me in a profound way, and I need to find out if I can contribute to these gentlemen’s’ cause. Want to join me?

That was so beautiful to see them happy together in their new home. What a monster keeping them for 15 years caged and starving. Thank you for saving these majestic animals.
This made me cry! One because they were locked in that train for 15 years. :( and two, because you guys saved them and gave them a beautiful rest of their life. When he came out and they touched noses, oh my heart! Pure love! Four Paws rocks!!!
Watching the male shiver in fear was heartbreaking. But, then to watch him be brave and run to his mate and immediately start nuzzling her, it’s was magical. May they both live a long and happy life filled with love and treats. 🐯
Seeing both the darkness and light of human nature in these tigers’ stories. Thank goodness they were given a chance to exist in a natural setting for their remaining years, and thank you to all the people involved for rescuing them from that steel hellhole.
Thank goodness some of us really care and help! It's overwhelming and exhausting hearing and witnessing animal abuse😢. Humans need to leave wild animals ALONE
People are so cruel, I’m so glad they got out of there! The world needs more people willing to do stuff like this, may these tigers thrive for the rest of their life!

You can, if you're young enough, learn about this kind of work and help save animals in the field. Though it's s demanding job, and you have to have, well depending on the job position, degrees and/or education in the biology of animals, then the technics to save them from certain dangers, how to respond and how not let your emotions get in the way of helping the animals. So I understand why you said "the world needs more people willing to do stuff like this" though I am willing, I'm not able to because of my age, too old, and I don't have the proper training. Whatever it is that is required. Do you know?
I’ve never once in my life have even come close to thinking about a tiger, a majestic creature shivering in fear. It’s bewildering to think such a mighty animal could possibly feel scared, sure almost every creature in the world can feel emotions but a tiger being scared is just perplexing. Hopefully now they can enjoy the remainder of their lives in health, happiness and most importantly freedom

I actually had to pause watching because I was crying so hard. To the people who made this happen: Thank you from the bottom of my heart. You are angels.
Can you believe there were actually 4 tigers in the cage? They edited that as if there were only 2. Four Paws posted recent update of the tigers on their youtube page and all 4 look like they are thriving!
@@quinnruss5541 if you look up Four Paws International or Four Paws USA and then 'train tiger's there are videos posted by the organization. They are the ones who were in charge of the rescue. Lemme know if you cannot find and I can reply with video link. ☺
How incredibly horrible that these poor, beautiful ones were caged for 15 years and nobody cared. Why are people able to get away with this?? Thank you to everyone involved who cared enough to save them from their madness. This is more than heartbreaking

To be fair, people did care though. The situation was inexcusable. But at least someone kept them safe and alive and fed and together for 15 long years, long enough for them to be rescued. We don’t know how long those caring for them while they were stuck in the train tried and tried to get them freed and were not able to until these angels came along. Someone made the effort to get them there, they didn’t just learn of these tigers’ plight by osmosis and magically show up. The cats are still healthy and they can make a full recovery and enjoy the rest of their lives now. Because they did receive care even if it was not the best. They’re alive and their future looks amazing, they survived!❤️
@@michelled.6001 , Exactly! The farmer who cared for them was ignorant(not a putdown) and genuinely believed the circus people would return for the tigers. He cared for them the best he could, until he could no longer do so. Just very happy the tigers made it to their 'furever' home! 🙏😇✨💫🌱🌿🌻🐝🌳🌎💖🙌😺
Tigers are so beautiful and shouldn’t ever be used in a circus as entertainment and be treated terribly! That’s wrong. They were not created for the circus. This is beautiful!
I don't know what to say. Poor things, it's a great pity they had to endure those abhorrent conditions for so long. Hope they enjoy their freedom for many years to come.
This is incredibly heart breaking and heart warming at the same time. That a tiger does not know a tree, but immediately senses to sharpen his nails on it, just shows how much they suffered, being locked in a steel carraige, exposed, for all these years. They finally, look happy as they should have from the start. 👏👏👏💞
i remember hearing about this on the news a couple of months ago. i’m curious to know what caused the land owner to contact people now to help. they “took care” of them for 15 years. was it because the cost to take care of them became too much? did they finally realize that the tigers should be in a sanctuary instead? regardless thankful they are in a sanctuary now.
It could have been an inherited situation, changing ownership within the family. Or, in Argentina's economy simply was not bringing in enough money to feed these two, never mind profit. I don't necessarily blame them I'm just glad that there are proper sanctuaries with the proper donations which can afford to transfer these beautiful animals to Lions Rock!
I kept myself together, just on the verge of tears ... until around 4:01 When the male was trembling, I finally lost it. Even more when they touched heads in greeting.. These beautiful animals can live together, and swim, and sharpen their claws on real trees. Exactly how they're supposed to live. TY Four Paws In'l
OMG this crushes me to see this. How can anyone do this? Dear God, how? These magical animals were never meant to be contained. Thank you for saving them you wonderful people.
I wonder the same -- why are there people who want to cage these beautiful, majestic animals? It's great to see them experience life as free beings were meant to
"never meant to be contained" LOL OK let em just wonder into civilization then I'm sure they'll become domesticated in another 1000 years like the wolves did
Did anyone else notice how the pupils opened when they first looked around. Fantastic job to free them. Everyone deserves to feel freedom in their lives.
@@cozycarry that's actually not what happens when "light hits the eye". Pupils actually CONSTRICT when exposed to light/conditions brighter than they were adjusted to.
OMG, this incredible. I can't imagine living in a train cage like that for 15 years!!!! People should be ashamed of themselves to have such a beautiful animal be kept up like that. I cried when they walked out for the first time and they were touching each other. It was such a beautiful thing to see.
This big tiger who was trembling with fear was able to be reassured by his life companion! A touching moment! Circuses should no longer be allowed anywhere in the world! Live and let live!
A circus isn't just about animals. In times of the past, when animals were sold to a circus & exhibition, many were unknown in parts of the world but we live in different times now. If an animal begins to prey on human, we ought to figure out how to protect ourselves other than killing the predator...except for human predators...they are the more cunning & inventive...more dangerous than 4 legged creatures. Am thrilled to see these big cats are getting to live a good life. Circuses are also about abilities, too. Kinda like the Olympics where individuals show their skills but clowns making one laugh. Cotton Candy. A break in everyday routine. Then they pack up & move on in the dead of night. At one time, it was how 'freaks of nature' could earn a living by also being on display. IMO, that must have been so humiliating! I am thankful that we are maturing as a society & no longer need traveling troops to 'entertain' or inform or share song & dance.
@@kateburk2168 Sanctuaries are the right way to restore injured animals, victims of trafficking or cruelty! As for elephants chained and working like slaves for decades! Another kind of circus that shouldn't exist anymore are the water parks where killer whales and dolphins put on a show! As if in nature they were training to do the same thing! It's ridiculous! We humans think we're the smartest, but that's completely wrong! Besides, we deliberately destroy our environment and have waged war for reasons of territory or religion. Animals don't do that!
When one of the tigers 🐅 stretched and started clawing the tree bark that's when you know they are content with where they are now. So beautiful 😍 💖 I also loved how the male tiger went to his friend and they rubbed their cheeks together ❤ as if saying "we're better now." Loved it. And God bless this fine gentlemen for helping these gorgeous animals.
Omg this made me cry so hard. The screen is so blurry as I type this. Those guys are total hero's to these tigers. Wow! To live in such horrible conditions for so long. I can't even imagine. I really hate the humans that treat animals like absolute crap....Any animals. I really wish way more people in the world were like these guys. Thanks so much for saving these beautiful, majestic Cats.
Love this. There's a sense of rightness as they return to the earth. It's not as if they are perfectly free, but humans made an effort to improve on their atrocious prior conditions.
Damn. That was emotional. I have never seen a big cat/Tiger show fear and shake. They would never shake and reveal show such weakness in the wild, even if they were scared. It it shows what a terrible life they have lead. Their quality of life has improved 100% 👌 Good luck beautiful cats. Thank you Four Paws International and all those involved in the rescue, relocation and ongoing care.
I applaud the person who fed them for 15 years after the circus abandoned them. And god bless these people for working to give them the freedom they deserve! This made my day. 😊
Why? He or she would've made money having their friends, family & neighbors coming to see the animals. How do you think they fed them? If there hadn't been a profit they would've left the animals to starve.
@@gingerbaker4579 But they didn't and that's the point. Reprehensible behaviour yes (if that's what happened) but it kept them fed at least. The big question is why did it take 15 years? Where was the Argentine government in all this?
@@robertmcnamara5407 That's the thing. Nobody said anything about the cats for 15 years because they were making money off of them not the circus. It's that simple. It was not necessarily the government btw Four Paws is an international organization that happened to hear ... by sheer chance ... about these tigers. And they likely only heard of the tigers because of some tourists or better-educated Argentinians that locals brought to or by the circus cage & these "outsiders" said wtf.
@@gingerbaker4579 do you seriously not understand that the circus only abandoned them as they had no where else to go The person who then fed them also didn’t know where to put them because they’re fucking tigers and you can’t just release them into the public
I have watched many videos on rescues and was of course touched but this one tapped into something in my soul. How awful that these majestic tigers were confined for so long. At least now they will know freedom.
They didn't know where they were going but they were ready to get out off that train. I love everything y'all did for them. They deserve the world after what they had endured for 15 years. Thank y'all to the moon and back. 🤗❤️🐾🐾🐯🐯
This happend earlier in the year. You should go to the Four Paws channel and look for the videos of the whole proses. It was wonderful to see how much care and preperation went into this move. I support Lions Rock, which is the sanctury they can now call home. Seeing them come home was so special.
When they rubbed their faces to each other, I felt like they were reassuring each other that everything is going to be ok. It brought a tear to my eyes.
read your comment before watching and thought "that doesn't sound very emotional" and now I'm bawling my eyes out! It's amazing to see how deep and meaningful relationships animals are capable of creating despite the worst of circumstances.
Yes. I so agree.
I fucking cried and am still crying. Humans are pure evil and we don’t deserve to be here destroying this beautiful planet
@@Chiko4579 The fact the you are good proves that there are still some good people in the world.

Can you imagine being locked in a cage all your life? They are such beautiful majestic creatures and I pray they will thrive now.
Same!!😊💖
This is why I loathe 99% of the human race!! They are only out for themselves no matter who or what animal they hurt..
The other percentage are people like the people helping this tiger out. These Bengal tigers are endangered and damn close to being extinct but some humans continue to hunt them for BS reasons..
It's just like being locked up in prison. Only these tigers didn't deserve it.
Meh, I know lockdown was boring but that's a bit harsh...
@@mrrsnlk03: Holy Ghost filled ppl of God are the kindest and most compassionate ppl on earth full of godly love and gentleness. One must remember that Satan is the prince of this world, and he goes back and forth over the earth trying to bring as many ppl as possible to hell with him because his days are numbered and very short now. Adam & Eve really messed by disobeying God and given in to Satan, which cursed mankind through their disobedience, but Christ created a way for us to escape the wiles of the devil through the Holy Ghost, but we must obey Acts 2:38 in order to receive the Spirit of Christ. We cannot do whatever we want in this life if we wish to make it into the Kingdom. Sacrifices must be made in this life in order to inherit the next one, which is for all eternity. What is 70-100 years of life on this planet compared to everlasting life? There is no comparison, but humans have a difficult time seeing an inch beyond our own noses, and we live for the moment not thinking about the eternal consequences. I've lived on both sides of the fence, and I received the Holy Ghost at age 19, and I chose Christ every time. God is so good to us humans even though we don't deserve his grace and mercy. 🔑Acts 2:38🕊
I have never in my life seen a tiger shivering in fear. That utterly shattered my heart. I hope they are living out their days in peace and serenity
😥 IKR.....
It was absolutely heart breaking story! So so many years in a middle of nowhere in a wagon...and there were 4 tigers there...all rescued to South Africa...
Great point.
Beautiful story thank you
Absolutely. My heart aches for him too to the point I started crying. I couldn’t imagine what was going through his mind. But he overcame it and life is wonderful now for them both. My heart can rest now 😊😊
Seeing them reunite within their larger enclosure, nuzzle heads, and recognize that together they are finally free…most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen.
So they really are not free
How can kings be treated like this. The fact that they held it together during 15 years of cruelty amazes me. Those first soft steps must have been surreal
@@shuffman8094 Yeah but they won't survive in the wild, since they knew nothing but this cage they were in. Also, wild Tigers usually live between 10-15 years so they are really old already.
Female reassuring the old male that it is ok and she is there for him. Interesting dynamic since Tigers are solitary in the wild.
@@patrickmckeegan5345well when they’ve been locked in a cage their entire lives the only comfort they really had was with each other

That killed me. No creature like a tiger should cower in fear like that, it isn’t right.

There's always someone to dissect the comment.. they have a lot of space to roam, certainly is better than living in a Train. Those people do the best they can do at placing wildlife where they can. If you have a better place for them go pick them up and take them there.. meanwhile don't bring that energy over here

Moreso than animals we need to push past the hatred to love one another, which is far more important!
I am happy for the tigers though they deserve to have a comfy rest of their lives!
I feel like writing your statement every time I watch an animal video but also acknowledge the appreciation of good
This kind of story really put me in a morale conundrum, personally i cant just let it be just "at least it end well". What do you think more ethical for the detested circus owner, to put down the 2 tigers, selling the tigers into someone else, or to put them in 15 years of confinement before eventual rescue?
@@audieherron5474... not in my book "moreso than animals".
Animals are way up there with humans to me. They are far nicer for the most part too.
It’s awesome to see them just laying around in the grass like “ this is nice” after sleeping on steel.
Whoever did this to them should be locked in that same cage and fed once a week. It's beyond cruel. Thank you for rescuing these precious souls. 💞
It's unimaginable to me how anyone could willingly treat innocent beautiful animals like this badly. It's shameful and wrong. So awesome to watch the rescue.
I know. Humans are doing this to humans every day.
@@MickeyJaymz but the animals have done nothing but live as themselves, they've robbed no banks. Never shot up a school, they just live. Meanwhile we just take.
Really? Typically we treat our own with much worse contempt and abuse. Those who aren't "us" are always degraded to at best mere things. The worst are demonized as less than beings. Many even treat their own as disposable. The natural world is brutal and unforgiving but the human world is much worse.
One word: Psychopaths
It’s Africa. Only the strong can worry about others and Africa is a place where everyone is just trying to survive. Takes a former British colony to save the animals from cruelty like this.
That moment, after he finally came out, when the female - his companion in that awful captivity for so many years - was obviously reassuring him was so touching. Four Paws International is a superb organization. Kudos as well to the big cat sanctuary that took these magnificent tigers in. Blessings upon you all! ♥ 🐯🐯
Like any male been locked up for years proirty is finding a female lol
Beautiful animals tho

The way they leaned on each other when they were released into the pen was so touching. I can only imagine the bond these two tigers share after going through everything they have with only each other.
Yes
That brief moment of them comforting each other is deeper than any emotion I've ever seen shared between humans.
Hard to imagine the feeling of pure relief knowing that a lifetime of abuse is finally over and they are safe together at long last.
If those tigers could write, this would be a bestseller turned Oscar-winning movie 💗💗💗

The moment they touched each other's nose at the sanctuary you can tell how grateful he was to have her with him at that moment 🥺 and that's the moment that I started sobbing like an infant. I get so angry when I hear about people abusing and neglecting any animal or human so to see these AMAZING people do EVERYTHING in their power to make sure these beautiful creatures were rescued and can live the rest of their days with each other in a beautiful place is such an incredible sight and feeling! 💗 I just wanted to say THANK YOU to everybody who made this possible. No animal should ever have to live like that, they deserve PROTECTION, LOVE and to live in PEACE 🕊️ I'm so thankful to this entire team who gave them exactly that! 🐯🤍🐅
Please watch the Camp Beagle
"There is hope. It's never too late" Well said. I can't imagine the living hell these two majestic tigers were living in. So glad they are now in a beautiful healing space where they can live & thrive now.💜
A tiger's average lifespan is 8 years so considering they're more than 15 yrs old, they wont be living long enough to truly experience this beautiful healing space
Yeah it is too late !
@@EyeLabPNiecethat's only the wild lifespan though. Animals generally live longer in captivity.
They are stunning creatures, and they look surprisingly healthy after living in that crate for 15 years.
Such a beautiful moment seeing them reunite outside in the grass for the first time. I hope they have many happy years ahead of them.
Not to mention they were only feed weekly or so.
I was thinking the same thing. They looked very healthy, didn't they? In any case, they have a bigger place to roam now. Tigers in captivity live for around 20/25 years, so they have a few more years to be active together. 🧡
@@nunyabiznes33 eh I mean depending on how much they were fed weekly my concern is are they only going weekly to check on them… I hope they were Atleast giving them fresh water.
@@nunyabiznes33 Well, the thing with that is, if they were fed in large quantities, then it makes sense why they would look healthy enough. Hunting is hard. First you need to find a large prey animal, then you need to catch it and kill it, and most hunts tend to be unsuccessful. Tigers in the wild usually eat their fill once a week or so on average. This isn't the problem, especially seeing how they don't look starved and at least outwardly their hide and eyes look well (teeth are a different story probably). The real crime here is the confinement. Wild animals need to roam. Wild cats need to be able to do cat things. Hell, even domestic cats... I am absolutely against letting them roam in urban environment, and even in rural environment they tend to have shorter lives because wilds be wild. But even urban cats should be vest and leash trained early, and taken to walks in a park or wherever at least twice a week. My hairy little old man of a cat and I will just wait for the night and go explore the streets when the traffic dies down. Sure, he catches a few ticks during summer, but an animal's mental health is just as important as its physical health.
So keep the cats happy, both big and small!
@@Killjoy_Mel my current kittie are indoor cats unlike the ones we had in the past that were allowed to roam. I can't really convince them to go outside (but then again our house open directly into the streets).
To see that majestic older male shivering with fear just tore my heart apart. That animal should never know fear. He's the one who is supposed to cause the fear in the wild. Many thanks & blessings to all the people who work so hard to make better lives for these gorgeous creatures, & other animals in bad situations. They are very special people.
You sound like a complete f***wit lmao. So tigers living in fear is somehow more sad than their prey living in fear? 😂 makes no sense at all. Probably some religious nut if that's how you think. The world isn't fair or balanced. Just because something is a predator rather than prey doesn't mean it's life is more valuable
They feel fear in the wild too, they're mammals at the end of the day.
Same, broke my heart to see him shivering in that cage, Thankfully the rest of his life shall be well lived & the most freedom he’s ever known
Made me cry so hard when I saw him shivering like he was, it’s sinful how some humans treat people and to treat any animal this way is just so cruel. I hope they can have the next stage of their lives in this paradise, nobody should be able to own these majestic animals the wild is the only true place they should live. I’ve see too many cruel things done to animals it makes me dislike humans Immensely.Some people use the animals make money then leave them no life to enjoy running about the fields . I glad to see they are in a better place, I would love them to go to Forrest and live withmo5her tigers. And have a happy family life 😸😽😼🙏🏽
@@who_is_dis Yes, anyway. the Lion is the King of the Jungle, not the tiger. Though the tiger is my favorite big cat
the shots of them pressing their faces together are beyond extraordinary. they conveyed an emotion that transcends species, we all felt exactly what they did in that moment.
There is no excuse, cultural or poverty included, that justifies the treatment these tigers endured. To take intelligent, endangered animals and leave them in the dark for days while the train moved towns, sweltering in the heat during the summer & freezing in the ice on cold metal, no bed not even straw, nothing to do (solitary confinement when they have done nothing wrong), starving (compared to tigers in the wild, notice how skinny and frail they are - esp. the male) These tigers lived in total misery.
Beyond their barren enclosure, at any point in time they were expected to be entertainment?! & You know they don't want the tigers just laying there, what scars lie beneath the fur? I'll bet he was shaking because in the past, he had been let out of the cage for "training”, and naturally tried to enjoy this glimpse of freedom. You know, rather than the impossible expectation that the tiger would be in a focused state, ready to engage with commands & learn tasks. But I've already written too much to try to convey why there is *NO* excuse for this barbaric treatment.
To those responsible for this, not just the Circus of Cruelty, the evil who captured, stored, sold, and anyone else within the chain of custody, and circus goers who enjoyed and did not put a stop to this: You belong in that cage. You will be fed barely enough to live, no daylight for days, alone, in sweltering heat and freezing cold, with nothing but your thoughts, and at any point in time, the cage cover can be thrown open, if you are asleep or depressed from the situation, you will be awoken with a sharp prod, and you will see you are in a tiger conservatory. As long as you stay perfectly in the center of the cage, maybe their claws won’t reach you.
After 15 weeks, (a mere fraction of time compared to the 15 years the tigers endured) the door will open, and you, frail & trembling, will hope your victims are not around. But they will be. Lastly, since a M&F were your prisoners, I sure hope you have not stolen their cubs. As the same fate will extend to anyone whom was responsible's kids.
Anyone who tries to use excuses for why this occurred (and is likely still occurring in Argentina) to justify this happening to these tigers, are looking down on the intuition inherent to every human by nature. This travesty occurred due to greed and bc a number of people passed the buck by telling themselves, “It’s not my job to stop this,” “There’s nothing I can do about it,” or the most insidious: “They probably have a vet that makes sure they’re healthy.” It should not have taken 15 years to save these tigers.
Thank God for people like them! The world needs more of them so all these beautiful animals can be rescued! So glad these 2 were. Now have the people that did that to them take their place in that trailer being fed only once a week...for 30 years!
I love that the first thing he did was touch her face as to say, 'we finally did it. I almost cried.
'almost' ??
I crier and still are.
Ye the sad thing is they both will not have much time to enjoy that😢
Hard to believe they're so healthy after living 10 to 15 years in atrocious and confined conditions. It's wonderful that they get to live, at least, their last years in much nicer conditions.
That ideal predators, dude! Look at your cat, or cat of neighborhood. They pretty good after 15 years of life, but cats live in wild nature 4 or 5 years.
Stop lying, dude! 4-5 years. Are you insane? Do you not have Google? The life expectancy of a tiger in the wild is adulthood which is 9-11 yrs.
@@shawn47240 yeah, but if you read my message one more time, im get about "cat", not a tiger. Wild forest cat, norvegian cat, etc.
@@shoroh70 Yeah, it was a bit clunky to understand, lol. I've heard that domesticated house cats in the US are the same, but left to roam outside only 2-5 years. It's really a shocking difference! People are keeping cats inside more now, thankfully, but there are still some that insist cats "enjoy" the outside more so they put them out. I had a male cat that stayed outdoors for about 8 years that I was sure would lose it if he had to come inside, but I brought him in and he became so relaxed and such a love-bug. He's almost 20 now and I can leave the door open, he will sit there looking out but he won't go out. They live very satisfying lives indoors.
yeah, I find that really hard to believe too 🤨, seems like there must be much more to this story.
So sad knowing they lived every single day and night for 15 years in a cage. I'm glad someone found them and had a great heart.
After 15 yes them cats would’ve been dead. CAP

You can, if you're young enough, learn about this kind of work and help save animals in the field. Though it's s demanding job, and you have to have, well depending on the job position, degrees and/or education in the biology of animals, then the technics to save them from certain dangers, how to respond and how not let your emotions get in the way of helping the animals. So I understand why you said "the world needs more people willing to do stuff like this" though I am willing, I'm not able to because of my age, too old, and I don't have the proper training. Whatever it is that is required. Do you know?
And may their rescuers be forever blessed!
These people deserve a medal for doing this, first class human beings💚
And yet we have circuses that for some reason (I often read "human rights issues") that are allowed to torture animals for the sake of entertainment.
And the ones that put them in cages need to be locked up
4:23 Wow, when they touched faces like “we made it” … I have no words ❤️

They will share the rest of their lives together! Bless you for blessing them!

Hats off to these people. The way these cats were forced to live is atrocious. It makes me happy that they are better off now!
I’ve never once in my life have even come close to thinking about a tiger, a majestic creature shivering in fear. It’s bewildering to think such a mighty animal could possibly feel scared, sure almost every creature in the world can feel emotions but a tiger being scared is just perplexing. Hopefully now they can enjoy the remainder of their lives in health, happiness and most importantly freedom

@@quinnruss5541 if you look up Four Paws International or Four Paws USA and then 'train tiger's there are videos posted by the organization. They are the ones who were in charge of the rescue. Lemme know if you cannot find and I can reply with video link. ☺
This shows that there is still hope for humanity to change its ways. Such a beautiful story. Thanks guys..
still hope? cmon..
The fact that they were trapped in a train car for 15 years before these people saved them is proof there is no hope
@@zarahalora7567 If you lived in a steel cage for 15 years, I'm sure you would be be happy to get out even for a day!
These beautiful cats are FINALLY getting a good life. Bless the people who helped them!!
How incredibly horrible that these poor, beautiful ones were caged for 15 years and nobody cared. Why are people able to get away with this?? Thank you to everyone involved who cared enough to save them from their madness. This is more than heartbreaking
@@frenchstyle7038 peta is a lying sick scam group so dont expect them to do much lol
@@frenchstyle7038 you have no idea how horrible this world is
Humans being ENSLAVE billions of pets around the world for 'emotional-support', putting them in boxes(apts and homes, which is as UN-natural environment as possible). Cat's and dogs are NOT children...CHILDREN are children. But I get it: the responsibility of being an an actual engaging/responsible parent is infinitely harder than opening up a can of cat food/dog food.

And THEN we have the sanctimonious vegetarians/vegans, also who never properly bonded with another human being(such as mother/father, whom like the single-mother welfare case is the tragedy of America). The vegans then enslave ANIMALS to then feed them...slaughtered animals!! Save the planet?!?! Make as much sense as consuming 5000 calories a day and washing it down with a Diet-Coke.

Got an cat that goes outdoors? Domesticated cats are responsible worldwide for the decimation of forty(that's 40) percent of the world's bird population, because like psychopaths, they KILL for the sake of killing.

Wasn't that easy?
To be fair, people did care though. The situation was inexcusable. But at least someone kept them safe and alive and fed and together for 15 long years, long enough for them to be rescued. We don’t know how long those caring for them while they were stuck in the train tried and tried to get them freed and were not able to until these angels came along. Someone made the effort to get them there, they didn’t just learn of these tigers’ plight by osmosis and magically show up. The cats are still healthy and they can make a full recovery and enjoy the rest of their lives now. Because they did receive care even if it was not the best. They’re alive and their future looks amazing, they survived!❤️
@@michelled.6001 ,
Exactly! The farmer who cared for them was ignorant(not a putdown) and genuinely believed the circus people would return for the tigers. He cared for them the best he could, until he could no longer do so.
Just very happy the tigers made it to their 'furever' home! 🙏😇✨💫🌱🌿🌻🐝🌳🌎💖🙌😺
4:23 Love the headrubs, that say "no matter what, we are still in this together".
It was heartbreaking to see that big, majestic tiger shivering out of fear
When the first tiger was pawing the grass - it made me cry. This was beautiful.
Thank goodness these tigers have been rescued. May they have the freedom to live their best lives now. 🐯🌳🌳🌳😊
Tigers are so beautiful and shouldn’t ever be used in a circus as entertainment and be treated terribly! That’s wrong. They were not created for the circus. This is beautiful!
People need to stop going to any circus than features animals.
Them nuzzling each other for comfort almost made me cry. ❤
I don't know what to say.
Poor things, it's a great pity they had to endure those abhorrent conditions for so long.
Hope they enjoy their freedom for many years to come.
This is incredibly heart breaking and heart warming at the same time. That a tiger does not know a tree, but immediately senses to sharpen his nails on it, just shows how much they suffered, being locked in a steel carraige, exposed, for all these years. They finally, look happy as they should have from the start. 👏👏👏💞
i remember hearing about this on the news a couple of months ago. i’m curious to know what caused the land owner to contact people now to help. they “took care” of them for 15 years. was it because the cost to take care of them became too much? did they finally realize that the tigers should be in a sanctuary instead? regardless thankful they are in a sanctuary now.
It could have been an inherited situation, changing ownership within the family. Or, in Argentina's economy simply was not bringing in enough money to feed these two, never mind profit. I don't necessarily blame them I'm just glad that there are proper sanctuaries with the proper donations which can afford to transfer these beautiful animals to Lions Rock!

I kept myself together, just on the verge of tears ... until around 4:01
When the male was trembling, I finally lost it. Even more when they touched heads in greeting..
These beautiful animals can live together, and swim, and sharpen their claws on real trees.
Exactly how they're supposed to live. TY Four Paws In'l
THANK YOU FOUR PAWS! MANY BLESSINGS TO YOU ALL.❤❤❤❤
Look at their stomach. They are so hungry 🥺. But it's a happy ending after all
@@c4t258 - and that's what really matters!!! 😻
@@pawwalker3492 yeah. I hope they lead a happy life 🤗🤗
OMG this crushes me to see this. How can anyone do this? Dear God, how? These magical animals were never meant to be contained. Thank you for saving them you wonderful people.
I wonder the same -- why are there people who want to cage these beautiful, majestic animals? It's great to see them experience life as free beings were meant to
Some people are just born on the wrong tracks of life. Unfortunately.
Money
No animal deserves this. Majestic or not.
"never meant to be contained"
LOL OK let em just wonder into civilization then I'm sure they'll become domesticated in another 1000 years like the wolves did
Did anyone else notice how the pupils opened when they first looked around. Fantastic job to free them. Everyone deserves to feel freedom in their lives.
Thats what happens when light hits the eye
@@cozycarry that's actually not what happens when "light hits the eye". Pupils actually CONSTRICT when exposed to light/conditions brighter than they were adjusted to.
@@severindickson1898 love your answer!
With all the crazy things going on in the world, thankfully, there are still many good people..
4:30 got me in tears. They told each other we’re free.
Dear god, what a horrible life they had to endure. But OMG what a beautiful life they now deserve. Fantastic rescue 🙏❤️🙌
How dare you bring 'god' into this. This is part proof that there is no god.
@@antreb15 so out of this beautiful amazing post this is what you have to say??? Go get a life!!!
@@antreb15 what sort of stupid comment is that
The love and happiness the tigers expressed to each other was inspiring.
It's better late than never. Thank you all the people's effort to help them. Great people.
3:30 - You can plainly see its joy here.
The head boops to each other… my heart 💜💜💜
To everyone who took part in freeing my fellow Tigers, I would like to say thank you, and may god bless you.
And shame on those who kept them in such dreadful conditions for 15 years.
They are intelligent creatures and deserve to be free.
OMG, this incredible. I can't imagine living in a train cage like that for 15 years!!!! People should be ashamed of themselves to have such a beautiful animal be kept up like that. I cried when they walked out for the first time and they were touching each other. It was such a beautiful thing to see.
I cried too
The way they cuddled eachother knowing they have freedom is quite emotional ✨🤍✨
This is incredible to see the freedom for this bonded pair of gorgeous tigers. They comforting each other in this amazing experience. Live Free.
There is so much love in that gentleman's face - a beautiful soul. If the tigers are happy, he is happy
He is Dr Amir Khalil
I donated towards their rescue - so good, so happy to see this now!
Thank you for you kindness and generosity !!!
@Officer Dibble I donate a lot of money every year for many associations inclused these for animals , keep your advices for yourself !!!
This big tiger who was trembling with fear was able to be reassured by his life companion! A touching moment! Circuses should no longer be allowed anywhere in the world! Live and let live!
A circus isn't just about animals. In times of the past, when animals were sold to a circus & exhibition, many were unknown in parts of the world but we live in different times now.
If an animal begins to prey on human, we ought to figure out how to protect ourselves other than killing the predator...except for human predators...they are the more cunning & inventive...more dangerous than 4 legged creatures.
Am thrilled to see these big cats are getting to live a good life.
Circuses are also about abilities, too. Kinda like the Olympics where individuals show their skills but clowns making one laugh. Cotton Candy. A break in everyday routine. Then they pack up & move on in the dead of night. At one time, it was how 'freaks of nature' could earn a living by also being on display. IMO, that must have been so humiliating! I am thankful that we are maturing as a society & no longer need traveling troops to 'entertain' or inform or share song & dance.
@@kateburk2168 Sanctuaries are the right way to restore injured animals, victims of trafficking or cruelty! As for elephants chained and working like slaves for decades! Another kind of circus that shouldn't exist anymore are the water parks where killer whales and dolphins put on a show! As if in nature they were training to do the same thing! It's ridiculous! We humans think we're the smartest, but that's completely wrong! Besides, we deliberately destroy our environment and have waged war for reasons of territory or religion. Animals don't do that!
Hope they still are ok. I dont know when they were set free but to see them touch each other was BEAUTIFUL!
When one of the tigers 🐅 stretched and started clawing the tree bark that's when you know they are content with where they are now. So beautiful 😍 💖 I also loved how the male tiger went to his friend and they rubbed their cheeks together ❤ as if saying "we're better now." Loved it. And God bless this fine gentlemen for helping these gorgeous animals.
Omg this made me cry so hard. The screen is so blurry as I type this. Those guys are total hero's to these tigers. Wow! To live in such horrible conditions for so long. I can't even imagine. I really hate the humans that treat animals like absolute crap....Any animals. I really wish way more people in the world were like these guys. Thanks so much for saving these beautiful, majestic Cats.
You are so right. And I cried so much too. I try to see the good in people and this is reassuring that there are real "humans" who care.
Love this. There's a sense of rightness as they return to the earth. It's not as if they are perfectly free, but humans made an effort to improve on their atrocious prior conditions.
Free at last, Free at last,
Thank God almighty these tigers are free at last! May the rest of their lives be peaceful, safe & long! 🙏 🐾🐾👣
May God richly bless all who were involved in this rescue.
And the tigers
A special thank you to the people who rescued these animals
Damn. That was emotional. I have never seen a big cat/Tiger show fear and shake. They would never shake and reveal show such weakness in the wild, even if they were scared. It it shows what a terrible life they have lead. Their quality of life has improved 100% 👌 Good luck beautiful cats. Thank you Four Paws International and all those involved in the rescue, relocation and ongoing care.
THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU DID! God bless ALL of you people, who contribute in ANY way to this ministry. I love you greatly! 🧡💛🙏🧡💛🙏🧡💛
I applaud the person who fed them for 15 years after the circus abandoned them. And god bless these people for working to give them the freedom they deserve! This made my day. 😊
Why? He or she would've made money having their friends, family & neighbors coming to see the animals. How do you think they fed them? If there hadn't been a profit they would've left the animals to starve.
@@gingerbaker4579 But they didn't and that's the point. Reprehensible behaviour yes (if that's what happened) but it kept them fed at least. The big question is why did it take 15 years? Where was the Argentine government in all this?
@@robertmcnamara5407 That's the thing. Nobody said anything about the cats for 15 years because they were making money off of them not the circus. It's that simple.
It was not necessarily the government btw Four Paws is an international organization that happened to hear ... by sheer chance ... about these tigers. And they likely only heard of the tigers because of some tourists or better-educated Argentinians that locals brought to or by the circus cage & these "outsiders" said wtf.
@@gingerbaker4579 do you seriously not understand that the circus only abandoned them as they had no where else to go
The person who then fed them also didn’t know where to put them because they’re fucking tigers and you can’t just release them into the public
@@gingerbaker4579 they heard because the owner told people you absolute muppet
I have watched many videos on rescues and was of course touched but this one tapped into something in my soul. How awful that these majestic tigers were confined for so long. At least now they will know freedom.
4:22 that is the cutest nuzzle I have ever seen!!!!!!!!😻💝thank you so much for this they totally deserve it!!!! Keep it up!!🤗💖
That hurt. Seeing one of the most beautiful and powerful animals in the world quake with fear.
It's heartbreaking for them to be locked away for so long. Thank you so much for rescuing them! They are so beautiful!
How the tiger smiled!!! I love ❤️ it…. May they live many healthy years 🙏🏽❤️🙌🏽
They didn't know where they were going but they were ready to get out off that train. I love everything y'all did for them. They deserve the world after what they had endured for 15 years. Thank y'all to the moon and back. 🤗❤️🐾🐾🐯🐯
Thank you good people for making it happen !!!
This happend earlier in the year. You should go to the Four Paws channel and look for the videos of the whole proses. It was wonderful to see how much care and preperation went into this move. I support Lions Rock, which is the sanctury they can now call home. Seeing them come home was so special.
You're great to support them. 🌺❤️🤗
God, protect and bring peace to these rescuers and those who they rescue. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. 🇨🇦
