The documentary, which lays bare the disturbing and deadly canned lion hunting and breeding industry, first premiered in 2015, but can now be watched for free.
You’ve heard about the Big Five, but probably not about the “Sick Five” — a frightening package of diseases that goes unchecked in the captive lion breeding industry.

Blood Lions is an award-winning documentary feature film and global campaign that works to bring an end to predator breeding and “canned” hunting industries in South Africa.
Director Dr Louise de Waal says five major diseases — dubbed the ‘Sick Five’ in its new campaign — have been identified that can cause serious health issues for people.
