It’s time for the Rescued Lion to say goodbye to the rescuer after 20 years together!
Jupiter is a Colombian lion who became famous while residing at the famed Villa Lorena. He was rescued from the circus, where he was frequently abused and had his clothes repaired.
Villa Lorena is an animal refuge unlike any other, which cares for hundreds of abused animals, including this lion named Jupiter. Many of the animals had previously belonged to Dr. Ug Traffickers, who had been adopted.
Ana Julia Torres is the caretaker of four lions, nine Bengal tigers, jaguars, cougars, a crocodile, a speckled bear, an ostrich, Jocko the chimpanzee, spider monkeys, and hundreds of brightly colored birds. According to Ana Julia, they all have one thing in common: they have all been abused. They’re lame or have weak arms or legs; they’re blind, have trouble concentrating, or have weak eyes.
Previously, Jupiter had little trust in people and had developed a fear of human contact. This parasite vanished when he was cared for by Anna Julia.
However, because of her reported lack of documents to keep the lion, authorities removed Jupiter from Anna Julia’s treatment.
The vets diagnosed him with terminal liver cancer and anemia.He quickly lost weight and became very ill. When he had the opportunity to see Ana Julia one last time at the Los Camanes Zoo, she [found] he has kidney and liver disease and is so thin.
Jupiter succumbed to liver cancer and died in 2020, but his memory lives on. Goodbye, Jupiter! You must be happy in heaven!
May this beautiful lion now R.I.P. after so much suffering, and a very big thank you to the lady who loved and nurtured him only to lose him.
