• Petrica, Lidia, Lavinia - and her two sons Tarhon Big and Maron - were all taken to animal sanctuary in South Africa
  • They were found trapped in small, dirty cages in Romanian zoo which was closed down because of bad conditions
  • The three older lions were born to Romanian circus and forced to perform until Petrica attacked one of the trainers
  • They will spend the rest of their lives being cared for at the 1,250-hectare Lionsrock sanctuary just north of Lesotho
