EDITORS COMMENTS
Roque the Tiger, a majestic creature from Spain, arrives in the UK on his journey to freedom at the Born Free Sanctuary in Headcorn Kent. This powerful image captured by Andy Stenning takes us back to December 1998 when Roque's story touched hearts worldwide. In this poignant photograph, we see Roque confined within a cage, symbolizing the plight of countless animals held captive for human entertainment. His piercing gaze speaks volumes about the longing for liberation and a life beyond confinement. Transported through airports with utmost care and precision, Roque's arrival marks a significant step towards his ultimate destination - an idyllic sanctuary where he can roam freely amidst lush greenery and experience life as nature intended. This snapshot encapsulates not only Roque's personal journey but also serves as a reminder of our collective responsibility to protect and preserve wildlife. It invites contemplation on how we can create a world where all creatures are respected and given their rightful place in nature. Andy Stenning's skillful lens captures both the vulnerability and strength embodied by these magnificent beings. As we admire this remarkable print from Memory Lane Prints, let it serve as inspiration to support organizations like Born Free who work tirelessly to ensure that no animal suffers such captivity again.
