- August 02, 2021

Usually people like to save animals and they help poor animals which they find wherever they see them in trouble. We see dogs and cats usually but what if I say wild animals like lions. Yes, there is a man who had saved lions from dying.

Osman Salih

Who is he?

He is Osman,the man from remote country of Sudan in Africa who had done this unthinkable work, he rescued 11 lions from death.

How he did it?

One day Osman was visiting a park with his son where he saw something horrible. There were tens of lions who were so hungry and weak that they were literally just skin on bones. These kings of jungles were lying on the ground, waiting to die. Osman couldn't believe what he saw and why no one feeding them? Then it turn out that because of the economic crisis in Sudan the park did not have money left to feed the animals. And so the lions were the first to go hungry and the first to die. By seeing this weak lions it just made Osman angry and upset and thaught that he have to do something , something really need to be done and done fast because it's completely unacceptable. So when Osman offered the park his own money to buy them food, he was still turned away!, because he did not have permission to help. And this was the defination of Bureaucracy. Osman explained them that like this lions will not live for long, they can die tomorrow but nobody cared.

Starving Lions

But Osman did care!

He took matter into his own hands and went to the internet. He took pictures of the lions and posted them on Facebook and begged the world to help. The world went crazy and responded. Millions of people took notice and his post went viral all over the world. All the sudden people in the US, Europe and in Asia wanted to help 11 lions in Sudan. The whole night Osman couldn't sleep, his phone was buzzing, so many people got touched with him and they wanted to donate and do anything they could to help. So like that Osman raised thousands of dollars online and with that money, he did wonders. First he organized a team of local volunteers, so that they can fed the lions one by one kilogram of meat by kilogram of meat. Now slowly but surely the lions got their energy back.

After rescued

It was very hard job getting the lions back to health because they were severely Malnourished, so they really needed a detailed program. And he didn't stop there, immediately after, he decided to open his own animal shelter for all animals and not just for lions. So he took his own family farm and built fences around it and turned it into an animal Sanctuary for all the wildlife in need in Sudan. Here, the lions can run, they can play, they can enjoy thier life and yes, they can eat as much as they want. People like Osman and everybody else who donated and helped are the reason humanity is beautiful. So, Salute to our unsung hero 'Osman the lion man of Sudan'.
