The animal welfare organisation Four Paws has launched one of the largest big-cat relocations in history, moving 30 tigers and lions from the former Zoo Luján (a now-closed private zoo west of Buenos Aires) to sanctuaries in South Africa and the United States. Nine tigers and six lions are bound for the Lionsrock Big Cat Sanctuary in South Africa, while eight tigers and seven lions will travel to The Wild Animal Sanctuary in Colorado, with flights departing 17 August. A further 27 animals deemed unfit for international transport will remain temporarily at the former zoo.
