Commercial captive lion facilities are unnecessary with so many opportunities for responsible tourism in national parks and reserves in South Africa. Promote #PrideNotCruelty and experience the beauty of lions in the wild.
We urge ministers to end commercial captive lion breeding in South Africa. Stop the legal trade of canned lions and their parts, making it easier to control illegal activities. Restore SA's conservation leadership and protect our wildlife. #PrideNotCruelty
Illegal supply of lion bones from commercial captive facilities threatens wild lions and other felids. We advocate for #PrideNotCruelty, and demand stricter measures to end this dangerous trade. Protect our wildlife.
Some commercial captive-bred lions have been transported to canned hunting farms in South Africa, drugged & released before minimum time — violating regulations. Advocate for #PrideNotCruelty and demand stricter enforcement to protect these majestic creatures.
Some captive lion facilities engage in illegal international big cat bone trade. A mandatory phase-out is vital to protect lions. Let's promote #PrideNotCruelty and advocate for time bound action.

Sources reported disturbing practices in "off-grid" commercial captive lion facilities in South Africa. Lions kept in barren enclosures with old food carcasses and faeces left for weeks. Some even starved to save money.

Some captive lion facilities use legal activities like canned hunting to hide illegal international big cat bone trade. Security cameras, patrols, and messaging apps help them evade detection. We demand transparency and accountability #PrideNotCruelty
From a conservation perspective, there is no need at this point and time to breed lions in captivity. We just need to make sure they have safe habitats to thrive. #PrideNotCruelty
We are calling on the public to show support to the Minister. Don't stop at voluntary but carry on to make it mandatory and phase out this industry for good. #PrideNotCruelty
We are live! Join as we discuss the newly released report by World Animal Protection as they present evidence of the link between legal and illegal activities in the commercial captive lion industry. #PrideNotCruelty
