Welcome home Kimba, Max and Simba! Thank you to the Guatemalan government for its commitment to enforcing the law and eliminating the use of animals in circuses; to departments CONAP and the animal welfare division (UBA). #tampatigertrio #MIAcargo #homefortheholidays #bigcatrescue

Can’t wait for their first steps on BCR’s home grounds! Love it! ????????
seem like their cages should have been covered – maybe would make them feel safer.
IT'S A BEAUTIFUL DAY IN THE BIG CAT NEIGHBORHOOD!!!! WELCOME HOME TIGERTRIO–KIMBA, MAX, & SIMBA!!!!
Asks them to move away, and they don’t move. Grrrrr ! I will say it for the tigers.

Good job to everyone involved in this international coordinated effort, including the competent professional flight and ground crews on both ends of this transport.
I didn't expect a happy cry this morning, but here it is. Welcome, tigers!
Even though the media are getting too close, which is very frustrating for you, having all off them there can only be a good thing as long as they report the facts about why this is all necessary.
And now for the 4 plus hour drive home ❤
Welcome to Paradise sweet boys! Poor guys are probably so confused and ready to be out of those carriers! Almost home sweeties!
??????️??
I'm glad you spoke to the camera ppl to back away some. ? You'd think with the educational opportunities today that people would know there is a zoom lens on their cameras. So is it a lack of compassion that they don't use the zoom lens? ? Seems they just want to create stress ? by putting their cams inches away from the subject ???. Ignorant, to say the least. Glad the BCR Heart Team was there to welcome these newbies in! ???
Finally!!! I got all teary eyed watching this video. So happy for you all and especially the cats. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I am so happy for these sweet puddy tats!?. I wonder how scared these poor kitties are from their travel enclosures & all these new noises, etc. It must be somewhat traumatic for them. ❤️❤️
????????❤️❤️❤️?☀️???? SIMBA KIMBA E MAX???????
Finally our cats are home to a better life and bigger inclosers
