Sasha the lioness once lived a cruel life in captivity with a circus in Guatemala, where she was starved, beaten, overworked, and kept in a tiny cage.

When she and 5 other lions, and 12 tigers, were rescued by Animal Defenders International (ADI), veterinarians thought Sasha was facing certain death. But she’s defied all of their predictions and is now recovering after a miraculous surgery.
