Rescuing Sheila
Sheila was one of the lions rescued by the U.S Department of Agriculture in July 2009. A lot of the lions rescued that year were in poor shape, but Sheila’s condition was particularly dire.
She was severely underweight, frail, and weak. Her rescuers thought that there wasn’t much hope for her, but they decided to take a chance and help her anyway. They wanted to at least give her an opportunity to pull through.
