The lion, Sheila, has yet to encounter you. Sheila is a beautiful lioness who for much of her life worked as a show animal at private parties. Her health started to deteriorate, however. Her caretaker could not afford her routine veterinary treatment, but she was luckily rescued by animal rights activists. Sad to say, it seemed like Sheila was just too gone by that point. Her new caretakers thought that maybe they had to lay her down. Until a miracle happened…
Saving Sheila
Sheila was one of the lions rescued by the Agriculture Department of the United States in July 2009. That year, almost all of the lions were in poor shape, but it was particularly awful for Sheila. She was lighter than the air, weak, and fragile. Her rescuers thought she had almost no chance, but they took a risk and still helped her. They wanted to at least help her to get better.

The Suffering Lion
Sheila was saved from a Texas entertainment center. Her task was to give her employer a great deal of money by performing in high profile events and parties. In this entertainment center, Sheila wasn’t the only lion, but she was the most involved and suffering lion. The caretaker of Sheila had been exceptionally cruel to his lions. “Once they’re no longer useful for this as well, he’ll throw them away and stop caring for them,” Keahey, Founder of In-Sync Organization, said.
