For 20 years, this mountain lion was chained up – when he gets rescued, his reaction is priceless

Thanks to Animal Defenders International group and their wonderful rescue, after 20 long years, this mountain lion is finally freed.

Peru doesn’t allow wild animals in circus. However, there are many circuses who show a totally disrespect about this law and continue to keep wild animals in cages. This is exactly what happened to this mountain lion.

Mufasa was forced to spent 20 years chained up. Fortunately, Animal Defenders International mission was to save all captive animals from the Peruvian circuses. And thankfully, so they did. Thanks to their firm determination, Mufasa was the last wild animal to be rescued.

 However, because he was chained his entirely life, Mufasa was in no shape to be returned to the wild. So he was moved in a sanctuary into the Peruvian forest, where an enclosure was built for him.

Here, the adorable creature is finally able to enjoy its freedom!
