This is the level of #AnimalWelfare concerns associated with captive lion breeding in South Africa @BarbaraCreecy_. No wonder Judge Kollapen ruled that the 2017 & 18 lion bone quotas set by @environmentza were unlawful and constitutionally invalid.

Uncomfortable scenes of animal cruelty and neglect, but stark reality when breeding lions for their bones. Before you decide to interact with any captive big cat, think back to these images. Don't be part of the problem. #handsoffourwildlife #BigCatScam

Judge Jody Kollapen's summary of the judgement was "...that it was inconceivable that @environmentza (DEA) could have ignored the welfare considerations of lions in setting the annual export quota of lion skeletons". A little more than just a decision making process.

Please enlighten us - why are @JacaNews wrong? Because of this? Looks like lion corpses in a freezer to me. #PienikaFarm #JanSteinman SAPA Council member or hopefully ex-member by now,

With Judge Jody Kollapen having ruled that South Africa's 2017 and 2018 lion bone skeleton exports were illegal, here's a background case for a complete ban on the industry: https://t.co/pnUXnUYp4e via @TC_Africa

Horrific animal cruelty: This is the direct result of farming #lions for the lion bone trade, as there is NO incentive to keep the animals healthy. Deplorable!

Sprawling urbanisation of Cape Town could lead to the extinction of Cape Peninsula #caracal, says @urbancaracal They estimate that only 50 caracals are left in the Cape Town catchment area and research already shows signs of inbreeding. https://t.co/i413nGdn9U

Thank you @Greenpop and @PlatbosForest for giving #HandsOffOurWildlife a platform at your reforestation fest. Spreading the message is so important and people were genuinely interested to learn. What an inspiring and therapeutic setting Platbos is #discoverOverberg

News: President Mokgweetsi Masisi of #Botswana said last week that “#Elephants bleed [the] government coffers”. The heated media debate that followed has turned into a political feud.

Another self-confessed and narcissistic animal whisperer, who imposes not only huge cruelty onto his animals, but advocates hands-on interactions for self-promotion. He get massive support from celebs worldwide. This needs to be exposed! @BJWTC @peta @PETAUK @emsfoundationsa

NEWS: @environmentza rejects its Portfolio Committee’s Resolution to end the Captive Breeding of Lions industry. 227 breeding facilities inspected by DEA nearly 40% (88 facilities) were non-compliant with TOPS and many were trading with expired permits. https://t.co/qIjz5ojq7k
