Lion found wondering in Florida

June 24, 2011 - PRLog -- This Lion was seen shopping in St. Armands Circle, Sarasota during the annual sidewalk sale – (June 11th and 12th).

We asked him what he was doing so far from home… “I am not lost, I have come to visit Touch of Africa in St. Armands, I have heard that this store showcases South African decor and had to see it for myself”…said Lenny the Safari Lion.

Lenny was very impressed with what he found. “The masks and African jewelry are my favorites. I am so pleased to hear that Touch of Africa (Touch De L’Afrique) supports Fair Trade”, Lenny said.

Lenny the Safari Lion ® , is the official mascot for Go Touch Down Travel and Tours (http://www.touchcorporation.com). It is a fact that very few people know that 50 years ago there were 450,000 lions in the world, but today it is reported there is only approx 20,000 left. “It is a concern that at this rate the mighty lion could be extinct in 20 years time”, remarked Lenny.
