This document summarizes the first six months of lion cubs Yame and George after being rescued from a circus in Spain. It describes how they were born in April in France and first seen in May in Spain. In July, they were impounded by Spanish authorities after CACHSpain requested assistance, as the owners could not provide proper documentation. The owners then relinquished the cubs permanently in July. The cubs were transferred to a wildlife sanctuary in Alicante called Raul Merida. In August, the cubs arrived at their new home in South Africa where they will live out their lives.
