Social activists use social media to spread awareness about their cause. This is exactly what Eduardo Serio does to promote his foundation, Black Jaguar White Tiger.

The 2 lions were rescued by the BJWT foundation and now he is using Snapchat to show people how the lions are doing after the rescue. Also, he posted a
