After a series of heartbreaking images of starving lions in Sudan were posted online, a global campaign is underway to save them.

The issue is not simply food but most importantly the animals need detailed and special treatment to rid them of infections and issues probably brought about from infested meat and poor diet," Salih wrote in a Facebook post on Saturday. "Seeing these animals caged and be treated this way made my blood boil."

According to a report from Agence France-Presse (AFP), an international news agency headquartered in Paris, the animals are located in Al-Qureshi Park, which is managed by the city's government and funded partly by private donors.

Although there have been many offers of financial assistance, Salih has not yet formed a plan to collect donations.
