Life in captivity is a tragic existence, as every living being deserves freedom. Mufasa, a mountain lion, spent 20 years chained in a pickup truck at a Peruvian circus,
enduring neglect and abuse. His suffering ended when Animal Defenders International rescued him during a mission to shut down the circus. Finally free, Mufasa enjoyed nature and care, but sadly, he died of kidney failure months later. Despite his short-lived freedom, he experienced love and dignity in his final days.
