Rescued Big Cats adapting to a new life in the Free State like a tiger to water – Lionsrock’s Hildegard Pilker

Loading player...
Four tigers, that have spent their lives living in a train car on a farm in central Argentina are adapting to a new life in South Africa, where they felt grass under their feet, and have a pool to dip in, for the very first time. They were originally two tigers that have been abandoned by a circus. The tigers were rescued by Four Paws International, a Vienna-based animal welfare organisation that transported the big cats from Justo Daract in Argentina to the Lionsrock Big Cat Sanctuary in Bethlehem in the Free State. Hildegard Pirker is the head of Lionsrock and she will be caring for the four tigers, a female called Mafalda and three males,  Messi, Gustavo and Sandro. Hildegard told Linda Van Tilburg about the history of the cats, and how the cats were adapting to their new home at Lionsrock. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
