Anybody remember the movie "Born Free?" It was about the extreme effort Joy Adamson had to undertake to return Elsa, a raised in captivity lion, to the wild. Although ultimately successful it was not easy.
"On completion of their journey, the leopards will be released into a 3 acre natural bush enclosure in the Born Free Julie Ward Education and Rescue Centre, named in memory of the young British conservationist tragically murdered in Kenya over 10 years ago. Here they will live out the rest of their lives in a rich natural setting."It's not the wild... it's just a bigger zoo.
