The argument/discussion around canned lion hunting is an intriguing one. It's far more controversial than hunting and there are many truths,ies and deceptions around the entirity of saga. But what we really need to assess is the knock on consequences of stopping canned lion hunting. Will the economy created around canned lions simply to the wild lion populations? If the answer is yes, how would we prevent that shift from taking place? And if we can't stop that shift should we really be trying to stop canned lion hunting until we have dealt with the demand for lion bones and the other drivers driving the canned lion industry? #cannedlion #cannedlionhunting #lion #wildlion #hunting #lionhunt #lionhunter #trophyhunt #trophyhunting #nature #safari #wildlife #wildplanet #africa #africannature #lionbone #economy #lioncub #ethic #letsbecontroversial #sustainability #shouldwehunt #nature #wildlifeconservation #wildlifeeconomy

South Africa: 30 captive lions on private breeding farm euthanised after owner left them suffering for days following wildfires ... [Bloemfontein] SPCA alleged: “The owner knew the lions got injured by the fires. For five days they didn’t administer any medical treatment. We had no option but to obtain a warrant to enter the property ... The camps were in “horrible” condition – no electric fence, structure poles burnt down and the fence hanging on a thread, with open gaps and holes. “These lions could easily escape, but not even one escaped. They were too broken, too weak,” said the SPCA. “We quickly realized that the owner didn’t care about the lions anymore. He was not willing to invest and financially spent nothing to ensure the welfare of these cats were up to standard.” ... The SPCA has opened a case of animal cruelty against the owners of the lions. The organisation says these animals suffered immensely but because of the value of their bones (for the lion bone trade) the lions were kept alive at all costs.

MEMBERS OF WAPFSA CALL FOR A PRESIDENTIAL INVESTIGATION INTO ALL ASPECTS OF SOUTH AFRICA'S CAPTIVE BIG TRADE INDUSTRY Animal Law Reform South Africa has joined members of The Wildlife Animal Protection Forum South Africa in a letter to key leaders and organisations in respect of the Report by @fourpawsza: "The Vicious Cycle". The Vicious Cycle Report reveals human rights concerns within South Africa’s captive big cat sector, including worker's rights. This industry utilises captive big cats for interactions with humans, trophy hunting and the export lion bone trade to Asia. It highlights the immense suffering of these big cats, showcasing the poor hygiene protocols that are in place at these breeding facilities.

It's #worldlionday Today we join forces across the globe to say NO to lion bone imports to Asia. Our lions are endangered so as well as having to fight the trophy hunting trade, we now also have to fight these poor lions being raised in filthy cages to be slaughtered and their bones exported to the medicine market in Asia. Tiger bones were banned so now lion bones are used. It's a horrific trade with no medicinal benefits. Thankyou to @olpejeta for allowing me to get so close to some of their WILD LIONS while on a film trip out there last year. Beautiful footage by @the_wild_operator . . . #worldlionday #lionbone

It is WORLD LION DAY - 800 voices for 800 lions! Did you know that South Africa legally exports lion skeletons and body parts? We're at a pivotal moment where a new lion bone CITES export quota is to be set in South Africa. So today, a day to celebrate one of Africa’s most iconic species, our team with @bloodlionsofficial in partnership with @world_animal_protection_africa are asking you to take action. Visit @bloodlionsofficial for all the information.
If you have any questions about South Africa’s captive lion industry, be sure to join the discussion on social media today. I’m all for sustainable utilization, if it benefits us and especially nature. But I am very much against canned lion hunting and the lion bone trade. . . . #worldlionday #worldlionday2020 #lions #cannedlionhunting #lionbone #lionbonetrade #bloodlions @bloodlionsofficial #wildlife #nature
New research: Since 2008, over 6000 captive-bred lion skeletons have been legally exported from South Africa to South-east Asia; giving rise to one of the most high-profile and contentious issues in contemporary felid conservation. *** The WildCRU lion bone trade project looks at different conservation-relevant aspects of the complex and multi-faceted lion skeleton trade system. *** In relation to concerns that trade in lion bones may stimulate demand for tiger bones in East and South-east Asia, WildCRU researchers recorded the first quantitative data on preferences for lion and tiger bone in a product (bone wine) in China and Vietnam. *** Findings indicate that in both China and Vietnam tiger bone wine is greatly preferred over lion bone wine, and that respondents showed high levels of fidelity to their choice of farmed or wild designation across species. Notably, a small proportion of respondents said they preferred lion products - possibly because of the illegality of tiger products. These results are just the tip of the iceberg in understanding the intricacies of lion–tiger bone product interactions, but this study has taken the first step in quantifying this complex trade relationship. *** For further detail follow link in bio *** #lionbone #tigerbone #tigerbonewine #captivebred #lions #tigers #research #wildcru @traffic_wltrade 📷 @vivienne.wildscience / Peter Coals / Neil D’Cruze

Tiger bone wine is illegal in China but can be relabelled and sold as (𝘗𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘢 𝘓𝘦𝘰) Lion wine. According to @pantheracats, of all the big cats, the tiger is closest to extinction. Tigers are consumed for their claws, bones, skin, teeth and meat. Tiger bone wine is made by soaking tiger bones in rice wine for long periods of time with the belief that by absorbing nutrients from the bones, the wine will pass on the animals’s strength and vitality to the drinker. There is no scientific evidence that tiger bones hold value to human health. Tigers are a critical part of ecosystems and biodiversity! . . . #pantera #panteraleo #tiger #tigers #lion #lioness #wildlifetrade #wildlifetrafficking #arte #artoftheday #artistoninstagram #graphic #graphicdesign #fightagainstwildlifecrime #wine #tigerbonewine #lionbone

Authorities in China have announced tough new measures which include an unprecedented ban on the consumption of wild animals as food. However, we are extremely worried about the potential exclusion of lion bones on the proposed wildlife consumption ban and urge the Chinese government to rethink their position, as there is a real and substantial risk of zoonosis in the lion bone trade.

Large Male Lions On The Prowl In A Game Reserve!
WARNING - NOT FOR SENSITIVE VIEWERS One hundred rhino horns and four tiger carcasses were seized as police raided Voi Lodge, located in the Klerksdorp area of the North West. The Hawks, working with other police units, arrested three people - aged 23, 35 and 43 - and seized a number of firearms in the operation. This news comes exactly a year after one of the suspects were apprehended after police exposed that at least 40 lions were reportedly killed in an illegal Vietnamese lion and tiger bone syndicate. The suspects are facing charges of illegal possession of firearms and contravention of the National Environment Management-Biodiversity Act. Images via @bananimaltrading

A VICTORY FOR LIONS IN SOUTH AFRICA: COURT DECISION Today, the High Court handed judgement on the Case brought by the NSPCA against various government departments and members of the captive lion breeding industry relating to the setting by Government of export quotas for lion parts. The court declared the decision relating to the export quotas for both 2017 and 2018 were unlawful and constitutionally invalid. This is hugely important as it shows the lack of proper process by the department responsible. HOWEVER, both of these quotas have already been fulfilled, meaning that the decision will not affect the outcome. In addition was the fact that the welfare of captive lions were a relevant factor in setting the quota, despite (among other arguments) the Department of Environmental Affairs asserting that welfare was not within their mandate. Judge Jody Kapallen in his judgment stated: "While it may be correct that the welfare mandate for lions in captivity may substantially reside with DAFF [Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries] there is a difference in law in having responsibility for the welfare mandate and taking welfare considerations into account..." He also referred to previous statements made by the Constitutional Court in relation to animals and the right to environment in section 24 of the Constitution: "speaks to the kind of custodial care we are enjoined to show to the environment for the benefit of this and future generations." We congratulate the NSPCA on this victory and look forward to more government accountability on this issues. The captive lion industry is hugely problematic from an animal, human and government perspective.

SA DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL AFFAIRS CALLS FOR PUBLIC COMMENT ON 2019 EXPORT QUOTA FOR LION BONES AND PARTS On 16th May 2019, the Department of Environmental Affairs (DEA) sent a public request for information to be considered for determination of the 2019 export quota for cross-border trade in the lion parts from SA captive breeding operations: "In accordance with sections 61 and 62 of the National Environmental Management: Biodiversity Act (Act No. 10 of 2004) NEMBA, the Scientific Authority is required to advise the Minister of the Department of Environmental Affairs on the 2019 export quota for trade in the bones, bone pieces, bone products, claws, skeletons, skulls and teeth of lion for commercial purposes, which have been derived from captive breeding operations in South Africa. In order that its recommendations and advice to the Minister be based on a scientific and professional review of all available information, members of the public are invited to submit concise written scientific information or data for consideration by the Scientific Authority. Information must be submitted on or before 15 June 2019, to Ms Malepo Phoshoko at the following addresses: By email: [email protected] By hand: Environment House, 473 Steve Biko Road, Pretoria, 0002 By post: Private Bag X447, Pretoria, 0001" In 2017, the quota was set by the DEA at 800 skeletons (See: https://www.environment.gov.za/mediarelease/lionexportquota_communicatedtocitessecretariat). In 2018, the DEA set the quota at 1500 skeletons (See: https://www.environment.gov.za/mediarelease/molewa_establishes_lionboneexportquota2018). This was later dropped back down to 800 skeletons. The NSPCA is currently engaged into litigation on this matter with the DEA and other parties.

THIS IS THE FACE OF CAPTIVE LION BREEDING IN SOUTH AFRICA!!! NEWS: NSPCA - National Council of SPCAs reveals wildlife in shocking conditions on facility in North West Province. 'Upon arrival at one of the camps, the Inspectors were horrified to find two lion cubs that were unable to walk and appeared to be showing signs that they were suffering from a neurological condition. Other issues such as small enclosures and inadequate shelter, no provision of water, overcrowding, and dirty and parasitic conditions were noted in the camps that contained lion, caracal, tiger, and leopard. 27 of the lions had mange and some of the caracal were obese and unable to properly groom themselves. "There is a lot that is hinging on our Vets diagnosis and report on the 2 cubs that were removed from the Facility, and as you may have already ascertained from the photo, already circulated on various media platforms, there are a plethora of welfare issues at the facility. We do have concerns about not only the lions with the skin conditions, and the sick cubs, but also with that of other animals on the farm. The cubs are according to reports, showing signs of recovery, although not out of the woods just yet. The Vet will require some more time before he can give us the diagnosis." Senior Inspector - Douglas Wolhuter. The investigation is ongoing, and the NSPCA is currently building a strong case and have every intention of ensuring that justice is appropriately served for the animals Please share your thoughts on the industry with the Department of Environmental Affairs: [email protected] [email protected] . . . #justice4all #lionfarm #lionpark #southafrica #lions #lionking #simba #savesimba #lion #bigcat #bigcats #lioncub #cubs #lioness #lionsofinstagram #instalion #bancannedhunting #cannedhunting #lionbone #bonetrade #wildlife #southafrica #lionnation #savethelions #lionheart #lionpride #lionspirit #lionsden #lionlife #lionselfie
repost @natgeo Photo by @brentstirton | This is an image of over 40 lion bone carcasses to be sent to China from South Africa for their #traditionalmedicine market. #Lionbone has come to replace much of the #tigerbone trade as tigers are so severely endangered in the wild. China recently declared that it will once again allow trading of rhino and tiger parts domestically after a 25-year ban. They say this is to accommodate “farmed animals” bred in China. There are many reports on those farms, none of them good. Issues of severe inbreeding, starvation, and other abuses are common. There are also many reports that wild animals fetch higher prices on the Chinese market. Any legalization of these animal products throws open large loopholes for the illegal trade, stimulating poaching against severely endangered animals in countries that feed the illegal wildlife trade flowing into China. This is a very disappointing decision on the part of #China, especially so soon after they agreed to ban their domestic #Ivory trade.
Such #truewords @bianca_van_ardenne Here in #southafrica we have a huge problem. So many #animalparks breed #lions and #cheetahs for the #petplayandpay industry. These lions are petted and cuddled when they are young, walked with when they are a bit older, placed on display in an animal park for a while and then shoot in a #cannedhunt. #southafrica is the largest exporter of #lionbone in the world. #ihangmyheadinshame for my country's policymakers. #handsoffourwildlife #bloodlions

Captive lion breeding and South Africa's export of lion bone for traditional medicine must end.❗🦁 Lions belong in the wild – they should not be cruelly farmed for traditional medicine. We strongly support South Africa's Portfolio Committee on Environmental Affairs' review of the industry. #Wildlife #notmedicine #protectanimals #lionbone #lions #SouthAfrica #wildlifetrade #traditionalmedicine

🦁Captive lion breeding and South Africa's export of lion bone for traditional Asian medicine must end.🦁 We strongly support South Africa's Portfolio Committee on Environmental Affairs' review of the industry. This comes after the Department of Environmental Affairs in South Africa doubled the export quota from 800 to 1500 earlier this year for purely commercial reasons, and this increase in quota must be reconsidered. This does nothing to aid conservation efforts and further fuels the legal and illegal trade of wildlife for use in unproven traditional medicine in Asia. Lions belong in the wild – they should not be cruelly farmed for traditional medicine. #ProtectAnimals #Lions #SouthAfrica #LionBone
@Regran_ed from @natgeo - Photo by @brentstirton | This is an image of over 40 lion bone carcasses to be sent to China from South Africa for their #traditionalmedicine market. #Lionbone has come to replace much of the #tigerbone trade as tigers are so severely endangered in the wild. China recently declared that it will once again allow trading of rhino and tiger parts domestically after a 25-year ban. They say this is to accommodate “farmed animals” bred in China. There are many reports on those farms, none of them good. Issues of severe inbreeding, starvation, and other abuses are common. There are also many reports that wild animals fetch higher prices on the Chinese market. Any legalization of these animal products throws open large loopholes for the illegal trade, stimulating poaching against severely endangered animals in countries that feed the illegal wildlife trade flowing into China. This is a very disappointing decision on the part of #China, especially so soon after they agreed to ban their domestic #Ivory trade. - #regrann
