James Bond star Sir Roger Moore has teamed up with Animal Defenders International to launch an appeal to the public to help the charity fly 33 lions home to Africa.

The big cats have endured years of brutality and confinement in circuses in Peru and Columbia, but now a home has been found for them in their native Africa. Moore commented 'Please give what you can to help give the animals saved by Animal Defenders International the peace and sanctuary they need. Together we can take these animals, who have suffered so much, to their forever homes'.
