Thirty-three lions rescued from circuses in Peru and Colombia headed back to their homeland to live out the rest of their lives in a private sanctuary in South Africa. It was the largest airlift of lions in history, said Jan Creamer, president of Animal Defenders International, which carried out the operation. (Photo provided to China News Service)
