THE UGLY QUESTION:
WHY ARE MOST OF SOUTH AFRICA'S LIONS BEHIND BARS?
Did you know? There are more than 300 farms in South Africa where lions are bred in cages for the hunting industry. This cruel and cynical activity is legal in South Africa, and it is called canned hunting. Hunting in a can. Instant. No chase, no escape, no mercy. Shot in a fenced camp.
What kind of nation allows and accepts this disgraceful treatment of wild animals?
You can help us change this unethical activity. Read on: we'll show you how.
Help our lions ~ because they are also your lions, your children's and grandchildren's lions.

CACH is a registered non-governmental organisation calling for the end of canned hunting in South Africa and globally. Even the smallest donation helps our fight for the lions.
What is it?
A canned lion is one that is born in captivity on a commercial lion farm. It is stolen from its mother at 2 - 3 weeks old (so she can breed again) and sold to a cub petting destination for tourists.
Later, stressed and malnourished, the young lion is sold to a lion walking destination, also for tourists. Finally, the lion is sold to a hunter, or to the East. |
No freedom. Ever.
There are 3x more canned lions than wild lions in South Africa today.
For about 11,000 lions, there is not one day of freedom. Their fate is death by commerce: a hunter's bullet; or farmer's bullet. These lions are farmed in great secrecy, to produce cheap, quick trophies for hunters, or lion bones for sale to the East. |
Then shot. Close up.
Farmed lions can never be made wild; ask us why. They never know the sanctity of a free, wild lion family. Imagine a business so profitable that 300+ lion breeders in South Africa today farm lions for sport killing and for bones for Eastern "medicine".
Be angry - say NO! to this cruelty. It is man at his worst and we ask for your help. |
Lions, Bones & Bullets is an internationally acclaimed multi award winning investigation into captive lion breeding and the trades that follow from it, by well-known environmentalist Richard Peirce. See the film on the free streaming channel Waterbear.
Our plea is to you: have your say. Protest against this cruelty to lions.
Demand change. Stand for what is right. Africa's lions are desperate for your help.
Can you find it in your heart to speak for Africa's lions?
Will you ROAR for the lions?
