The Impact of Advocacy

An organization dedicated to animal welfare called Animal Defenders International put in endless effort to get Mufasa released in 2015. They worked tirelessly for months before they succeeded. After being released from his shackles, Mufasa’s life changed significantly.

Embracing Independence

Mufasa’s journey towards emancipation had a profound effect on his wellbeing. He was granted the basic rights that all wild animals should have and was freed from the constant fear and persecution. He lived his latter years in the embrace of the natural world, on his own terms.

The Mufasa Legacy

After making his way out of the circus, Mufasa enjoyed a few short months of freedom. But the years of suffering had taken a toll on his health. His age-related illnesses, including kidney failure, were the final causes of his death in 2015.

Even though Mufasa’s story ended horribly, it nevertheless makes some insightful observations. He reminds us of the wonder and purity these incredible animals possess with his loving nature and delight in receiving scratches in return. Though it is unfortunate that Mufasa did not have more time to live in his natural habitat of the Amazon, it would have been much more tragic if he had never experienced freedom.
