6/ Some conservationists believe that the legal trade in lion parts is stimulating international demand and leading to an increase in lion poaching, particularly in countries bordering South Africa. #lions #lionbone

#SouthAfrica's shame! Time to end the captive #lion & #lionbone industry. The commercial nature of this cruel industry is entrenched within a profit-and-production based model that exploits these animals at every stage of their lives. #BredForTheBullet #BloodLions
