“Described as king of the beasts, the African lion is one of the most
appropriate symbols of Africa: the proud and majestic warrior. However,
in recent years, humans have once again desecrated this magnificent
symbol, and the canned lion hunting industry in South Africa is not only
continuing, but flourishing. Forced to live in captivity until big
enough for the hunt, these lions are often kept in shocking conditions.
The sordid industry is often tied to the cub-petting industry, where
cubs – removed from their mothers at birth – are quite literally bred
for the bullet. This week, we take a closer look at the dark under-belly
of this practice in South Africa, and ask what is being done in order
to curb this barbaric and archaic business that has no conservation
value what-so-ever.”
