Wandering With The Pride

The majority of us love animals, and I’ve noticed the majority of those on the internet love cats. So I’m just going to take it a bit further and talk about big cats! Recently I’ve come across an issue that a Zoo near Edinburgh is having to face. They are trying to rescue four stunning male Lions. These Lions are ex-circus, have been abused in the Circus they were in the “care” of. Sadly their definition of care was a tiny cage that housed all four of them, with terrible conditions and hazardous objects that they could easily injure themselves on. Having been castrated and their claws removed from their paws to make it less dangerous for the animal trainers, sadly they are petrified of humans. They cower away from the sight of humans with implements that could potentially hurt them, proving how much they have suffered. These magnificent creatures, reduced to cringing fear. Something that should never be seen. However, after months of hard work, paperwork and fighting, these Lions were rescued. Taken to a wildlife rescue center in Belgium they are now safe and secure, although not permanently. A home is needed for them. A forever home.

One Zoo is trying to step up to this mark. The Five Sisters Zoo in Livingstone near Edinburgh. Known for rescuing ex-circus bears successfully in the past they decided that they could try to give these Lions a home. With a two acre enclosure located, all they need is the money raised to help build it and bring the Lions into their new home. However this is no easy feat for they need £150,000 by April and are currently only at £23,437. When I saw this story, I thought it was time to do something, take my part in helping raise awareness for this and encourage people to pledge and donate just a little money for no amount is too small, it will all help in getting those Lions to a safe forever home. So one day, if you visit this wonderful generous Zoo,  and you wander around their large safe enclosure, you will know that you have had a part in building this home for them.

Starting To Wander

I am a wanderer. I am a dreamer. I am Wanderer Dreams. Well…in anonymity anyway. I decided to do this blog as my New Years Resolutions. I’m hoping the people that might one day like and follow this blog will do me the great honor of joining me as I wander through life. Join me to know what you will be observing in this quirky little blog:

  1. Obstructed by embarrassing situations, or “Miranda Moments” as I like to call them.
  2. Rushing to keep up with the fashions that try to ruin my bank account.
  3. Reading continuously and hoping to encourage others to engage themselves in the such wonderful imaginations of authors.
  4. Traveling to far off destinations (one day at least) for now sticking to Europe and America and helping give tips and advice on how to travel in the most luxurious and wonderful manner without (fingers crossed) breaking the bank!
  5. Animals. You could say I am a little animal mad. You will often find cute pictures of animals on here but mostly I want to aim at promoting and helping make people aware of the issues that animals face. Lots of charities and ways you can help will pop on this blog.
  6. Food. Who does not love food. (My scales for one) Baking and cake decorating tips and ideas but I promise to balance it out with healthy tasty snacks for those of us who are trying so desperately hard to lose that little bit of holiday weight.
  7. Bargains. I will post links on bargains I come across usually because I just can’t keep quiet on how much I paid for this top, or that scarf, or those 50 pairs of shoes I have barely contained in my wardrobe!
  8. Last of all, I would simply like to share with you my life and hope to find that I am not the only one that manages to get myself into pickles.

Thank you and you are welcome to wander with me.
