Few stories capture both heartbreak and hope like that of Sally the tiger. Once destined to be nothing more than a hunter’s prize, Sally’s journey from captivity to sanctuary is now the subject of a powerful film and book, SAVING SALLY.
From Victim to Survivor
Ripped from her mother as a newborn, Sally was raised not for freedom, but for the crosshairs. Her fate seemed sealed: she would be shot in a fenced enclosure, her life reduced to a photo on a wall. But fate intervened. In a daring operation, the Wildlife & Conservation Foundation rescued Sally, spiriting her away to a secret sanctuary where she now lives safe from hunters, finally able to experience the life she was denied.
Exposing the Trophy Hunting Industry
SAVING SALLY is more than a rescue tale. It’s an eye-opening investigation into the trophy hunting industry, revealing the dark realities behind the so-called “sport.” The film follows undercover investigators as they expose the trade in animal lives and the lengths some will go to for a grisly souvenir.
Inspiring Change in Britain
Sally’s story has become a rallying cry for change. Her journey inspired a new law in Britain, banning trophy hunters from bringing home the remains of animals they have killed abroad. This landmark legislation marks a turning point in the fight to protect wildlife from exploitation.
Why Sally’s Story Matters
- Raises awareness about the cruelty of trophy hunting.
- Highlights the power of rescue and rehabilitation for exploited animals.
- Demonstrates the impact of storytelling in driving legislative change.
SAVING SALLY is a testament to resilience, compassion, and the difference that determined individuals – and one remarkable tiger – can make. If you care about wildlife, this is a story you won’t want to miss.
