What started as a lion rescue turned out to be a wild journey to a new life for a young bear as well! 🦁🐻
From private keeping in Albania to wild animal sanctuaries in Germany, this is the story of bear Flora and lion Erion... and of the FOUR PAWS colleagues who brought them to safety. 🛣️
Erion was first brought to our attention after his owner posted about him on social media... The lion was living in poor conditions and is believed to have been trafficked from another Western Balkan country. A first visit led to the discovery of another wild animal kept on site: only 40 meters away, a bear is pacing in her enclosure... Thanks to a lucky turn of events for both species, the authorities, faced with the extremely inadequate conditions the animals were living in, confiscated both and FOUR PAWS teams began their work to prepare the rescue, and the future care in our sanctuaries. 🛟
At the end of 2025, after months of tireless work, the rescue day finally arrives, and Erion and Flora’s journey to a new life begins. ✨🌳
What followed was 72 hours on the road, 6 borders and more than 2,000km of unforeseen events and challenges...Yet, the extraordinary convoy of vets, rescue team and specialised transporters never gave up on their mission to bring the animals to safety. 🚑
How to deal with two wild animals and unplanned delays, what could possibly happen to jeopardise such a large-scale mission and how our experts always overcame the obstacles... All the answers in our video recap! 👀
➡️ The unique character of a rescue involving such different species highlights but one thing: the urgent need to tackle illegal wildlife trade and private keeping. Is our work in Albania only starting? Do you want to see Erion and Flora’s progress in their sanctuaries (TIERART Wild Animal Sanctuary and BEAR SANCTUARY Müritz)?

Together, We’ve Made a Decade of Impact 🐾
Ten years ago, FOUR PAWS Australia began with a bold vision—and it’s you, our supporters, who turned that vision into reality. Your voices, your actions, your compassion have driven powerful change for animals across Australia and beyond.
Thanks to you, we’ve helped phase out live sheep export, challenged the cruelty of live lamb cutting, exposed fur mislabelling in fashion, and championed responsible pet ownership. You’ve stood with us as we uncovered the global trade in big cats and the horrific bile bear industry.
This is your legacy. And we’re just getting started.
Together, we can build a world where all animals are treated with respect, empathy, and understanding. 💛

A year ago, Runa, together with bear Kodi arrived at BEAR SANCTUARY Domazhyr… and what a glow-up it’s been since. 💖

В заключение на Спешната мисия в Аржентина Ви предлагаме един детайлен поглед на всичко, което се случи досега.
62 големи котки, две мечки - една спешна мисия в Аржентина #EmergencyMissionArgentina 🦁🐅🐻
През юли 2025 г. направихме история: подписахме Меморандум за разбирателство с правителството на Аржентина, който очертава нашата обща цел – да сложим край на частното отглеждане и търговията с големи котки в страната. Това историческо споразумение постави основата на нещо изключително, отвеждайки ни директно към бившия зоопарк Лухан.
Знаехме, че ни очаква много работа – от организиране на логистиката, включително палатки и работни пространства, до опознаване на терена и срещи с всички заинтересовани страни и животните на място. Но не се поколебахме. Само за няколко седмици нашият експертен екип, сред който имаше и български представители, ръководен от д-р Амир Халил и подкрепен от ветеринарите Юлия и Франк от Института „Лайбниц“ за изследване на зоопаркове и дивата природа, извърши 64 пълни ветеринарни прегледа.
Леченията бяха животоспасяващи:
✔️ Кастрация на всички мъжки големи котки, за да се предотврати размножаването
✔️ Лечение на сериозни дентални проблеми
✔️ Медицинска грижа за здравословни проблеми и рани, причинени от неподходящи условия
Зад кулисите усилията бяха също толкова интензивни: безкрайна координация с местните власти, купища документи и международен екипен труд, за да направим тази мисия възможна. Всеки детайл имаше значение, защото всеки живот имаше значение.
Тази мисия обедини страстни професионалисти от цял свят – и Вас, нашата невероятна общност. Вашата подкрепа ни вдъхновяваше дори когато се появяваха предизвикателства. ❤️🔥
А това е само началото. Настоящият ни приоритет е да намерим подходящите дългосрочни решения за всяко животно, които да са съобразени както с неговия вид, така и със специалните му нужди. 🔍
