Anybody want a lion?

José Luis García from Córdoba has less than a month to find a new home for Sandof, the lion who’s been with him for three years and who will lose his home because of plans to extend Córdoba Airport.

José Luis runs a small zoo and is losing his land before the end of the month to make space for the new extension. Among the other animals which must move from the zoo are six pythons, one of which is an albino.

Contacts with other zoos in Spain have been unsuccessful in finding a new home for Sandof as the lion is a male, and cannot be housed with any other male lion.

Señor García is hoping that his idea of giving him away as a package with the pythons may save Sandof from being put down.
