Janette Vallance

Janette Vallance is the operator of the Kamo Wildlife Sanctuary in Whangārei, New Zealand. She recently faced the heartbreaking decision to euthanize two elderly lions due to their serious health conditions and the financial difficulties faced by the sanctuary, which has been struggling for years. Vallance expressed her devastation over the situation and the toll it has taken on both the staff and the public, while also attempting to seek a potential buyer for the facility to save the remaining lions.
