South Africa to ban captive lion industry, including canned hunting

South Africa to ban captive lion industry, including canned hunting SHARE Link The new policy will prohibit the keeping and breeding of lions in captivity and the use of any captive lion parts for commercial purposes.  Photo: AP South Africa says it will end its captive lion industry in a major move for conservation that would outlaw the heavily criticised canned hunting of the big cats and sale of their bones, as well as popular tourist experiences like petting cubs. The policy, which still needs to be made into law, would effectively end the world s legal lion bone trade. South Africa is the only country given a special dispensation by the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species to sell and export lion bones, claws and teeth, and they have to be from captive lions. None of those parts from wild lions can be sold or traded anywhere.

The PCG recently spotted Chinese poachers around Pag-asa Islands stealing our ‘taklobo’…Hindi niya na nga sinusunod ang (They are not already following the) UNCLOS, hindi pa masunod ang (they won’t also follow) CITES,” Hontiveros said.
