Global animal welfare organisation Four Paws has successfully transferred a five-year-old white lion named Romeo to its Lions rock Big Cat Sanctuary in South Africa. Romeo previously belonged to a circus owner who exploited him for performances. He was kept in a tiny cage inside of a truck whenever he was not forced to perform. In August 2023, Romeo was rescued by the Belgian wild animal sanctuary Natuurhulpcentrum, which found him in bad shape at the time of his rescue.
The keeping and commercial trade of big cats is not properly regulated and enforced in Europe. The organisation further noted that without proper management and control on trade within the EU and globally, the animals continue to be abused and exploited for entertainment and other commercial purposes, such as circuses, private keeping, unscrupulous zoos, photo opportunities, private hire, or movies. This can be prevented by banning the commercial trade of big cats and their body parts.
