Thanks for your comment, Antonio. I'm also very glad that there are sanctuaries where at least some of these animals can be rescued.
Beautiful ,touching story Maria,sanctuary's are the list we can do , to give them a relativly happy end of their life,congrats and thanks for sharimg such a great and educatif spotting page
Thanks, Jacob and Ashley. It was several years ago, so I don't know if he is still living given his age. But at least he had a nice home there.
Beautiful photos of a gorgeous guy! I hope to see a wild one some day :)
Stunning spotting, Maria! I'm sad to hear he was injured, but glad he is under close watch at a sanctuary.
