Employees of the Natuurhulpcentrum in Oudsbergen are ready to leave for Poland to pick up two neglected lions. Ukrainian workers at an animal shelter and some animals left Kiev last weekend, where the situation got out of hand. Along the way, the employees were held at gunpoint by Russian soldiers. But according to Sil Janssen of the Natuurhulpcentrum, the animals and the Ukrainian employees are now safe.
