While it is heartbreaking to say goodbye to this magnificent lioness, please look through these pictures and remember how ADI supporters transformed her life. Rescued from a circus in Colombia ten years ago she crossed the world to live as a lion should at the ADI Wildlife Sanctuary, South Africa. In her natural homeland, the images show how lions should live, such a contrast to circus and zoo life (third from last pic shows Easy’s last day in her circus cage). The second to last pic is of Easy in the ADI Temporary Rescue Unit in Colombia, it shows how the fur on her forehead formed a heart. The mark was less clear over time but she always had a great big heart. Our thanks for the many kind comments, she touched all of our lives.

We are often asked for images as canvas prints to remember animals by. If you would like any of the images we have posted remembering Easy, please email USA@ad-international.org or info@ad-international.org. There is also this canvas print of Easy.

ADI currently has an art auction in aid of animals like Easy. Check out the one-of-a-kind artwork here.
