00:00A global animal welfare organization has begun relocating 30 big cats from the former Zuluyan in Argentina in one of
00:09the largest animal malls of its kind.
00:12After months of preparation for pause, six, nine tigers and six lions will be sent to the Lion's Rock Big
00:19Cat Sanctuary in South Africa.
00:21It is the largest rescue we have ever undertaken. We can say it without hesitation and without thinking twice.
00:27And I believe it is one of the largest ever carried out in the world by any other type of
00:32organization.
00:33Many big cat rescues have been done, but in much smaller numbers, and 30 at the same time is something
00:40no one has done so far.
00:41So we will be pioneers, and we are preparing everything to make it go as well as possible.
00:47The cats are due to depart on Monday, August 17 on passenger and cargo flights.
00:52Another 27 big cars that could not be transported overseas will remain at the former zoo for the time being.
