Six young lions were recently rescued after being dumped by owners in the streets of Kuwait City – where it is illegal to have them as pets – and in the desert. Known as the "Kuwait 6," Muheeb, Saham, Shujaa, Saif, and females Dhubiya and Aziza were rescued and recaptured by staff and volunteers at Kuwait Zoo after they were advised by authorities, according to the Animal Defenders International .
"The Kuwait 6 lions have their whole lives ahead of them and will have acres of space at the ADI Wildlife Sanctuary," Jan Creamer, the president of ADI, said in a statement, adding, "This is great news for these lions but also a warning about a cruel and irresponsible trade. Lions should never be kept as pets; they are wild animals." ADI noted that the animals can live for 20 years, but many owners realize, over time, that they can become powerful and expensive to feed.
