Cameron the lion was rescued in 2004
with his white tiger companion Zabu
from a run-down roadside zoo. The odd
couple were raised together by the zoo
in hopes of crossbreeding liger cubs.
He came to the sanctuary skin and bones
and it was up to us to turn his life
around and give him a better quality of
life and that we did, but in the last
couple of years
his health was slowly declining. We tried
everything medically possible to keep
him around and feeling good, but we ran
out of options. We were not ready to see
him go, but he was telling us it was time.
We will miss his love for Zabu, his
silly antics, his loud roars, and even his
stubbornness. Cameron has taught us that
true love sees no differences and that
we must continue to fight to end the
captive breeding of big cats.
