Carl XVI Gustafs 70th
birthday.
After a service in the
palace chapel attended by

the kings family and royal

visitors from Japan, Spain,
the Netherlands and Denmark, the outdoor pomp
and celebrations for Swedens monarch of 43 years
included a tightly choreographed military parade.
In the palace yard, children gave the king flowers

through Stockholm in a

On May 1, 1866, three days of
race-related rioting erupted in
Memphis, Tenn., as white mobs
targeted blacks, 46 of whom
were killed, along with two
whites. (It spurred passage of
the 14th Amendment to the U.S.
Constitution defining American
citizenship and equal protection
under the law.)

trucks for their entire lives.
Some of them had their
teeth bashed in with steel
pipes in circuses in Colombia and Peru. Some of
them had their claws removed It is a wonderful
feeling to bring them back
to their home.
Nine of the lions were
surrendered by a circus in
Colombia. The remaining
24 were rescued in raids on
circuses in Peru by the
animal defense group and
officials enforcing a crackdown on wildlife trafficking.
The lions will be placed
in quarantine in enclosures
at the 5,000 hectare
Emoya Big Cat Sanctuary
in Vaalwater in northern
South Africa, started three
years ago by a single mother and her teenage daughter.
The 33 lions will be
monitored by a vet for
their first weeks in Africa.
They will then be introduced to each other in a
one hectare bonding enclosure. Many of the lions
were never allowed to have
direct physical contact
with other lions and have
never been together without a fence or a cage separating them.
The lions are part of 100
animals rescued in Peru.
