SOUTH AFRICA’S MOST PROVEN AND EXPERIENCED OUTFITTERS (SAMPEO Est. 2011) STANCE ON CAPTIVE BRED / CANNED LION HUNTING 
"We, long standing hunting outfitters, wish to express our opposition to the hunting of canned and captive bred lions"

"We are further aware that there are other outfitters who, like us, condemn this practice. As hunting outfitters and professional hunters, we unanimously and unequivocally;

1. Condemn the immoral practice of canned/captive bred lion shooting, where lions are bred for the SOLE purpose of being killed by paying clients and play no meaningful contribution to wildlife conservation, financial or otherwise that aids the species the African Lion (panthera leo) in its natural state.

2. See no meaningful distinction between the terms “canned” or “captive bred” lion hunting, in its current format, as in the accepted SAPA document. 

3. Believe that the shooting of lion, bred and raised in breeding facilities and subsequently released for a period of 7 days in accordance with the current SAPA norms and standards, prior to the shoot commencing, is reprehensible. 

4. Do not believe that the SAPA norms and standards for the shooting of canned/captive bred lions can be considered fair chase hunting. Where the animal is self-sustaining, can feed naturally, breed naturally and has a chance of evading the hunter. None of these criteria are met. 

5. Do not believe the practice can be effectively policed and monitored and to date has been rocked by one scandal after another. 

6. We believe the practice is degrading to the African Lion, which is an iconic and regal symbol of all African wildlife. The activities of a few have severely tarnished the reputation of our industry. They have caused major harm to those of us whom are committed to acceptable hunting practices that enhance the already significant conservation efforts that have been and are made by hunting in South Africa.

I do not have any regard for any killer of any so-called group that "now" back peddles to save face in ongoing murdering of innocent defenseless animals. It boggles my mind to be against canned hunting but defends hunting. Killing is killing and that is the bottom line. No life comes from it. Shame on all of these destroyers of life and may they reap their sowing. May they be exposed and their bank accounts dissolved, their businesses be closed, and their food be the dust of the ground.

This is clearly a ploy to drum up business. Despicable!

I for one, would rather visit a country that protects its wildlife for future generations rather than condone its destruction to the highest bidder. South Africa may find its tourism diminishing after a great relationship with tourists wishing to experience its wildlife! After visiting in the 70s 80s and many a times since 2000 I feel sad for what the country has become.

We will fight you you murder's of the wild. Your disgusting and mentally challenged/sick. There is no more reason to have to shoot an animal for survival, this type of hunting is evil and we will stop you if it is the last thing that we do. Karma sucks and karma will bite all of you perverts in the ass. We are the voices of the killed, we will protect them with every ounce of energy that we have. THIS WILL STOP AND STOP NOW!!! May all of you murder's burn in hell.
