Stop Canned Hunting! #FOURPAWSgowild
The most extreme variety of trophy hunting is “Canned Hunting”. Most of the victims are lions, which are served to their hunters on a silver platter: The animals which are born in captivity are taken away from their mothers within hours of being born so they can be used in petting zoos. When they become of age they then spend the rest of their life in caged compounds waiting to be released in a larger compound for the so called ‘canned’ hunt.
Anyone can go and hunt lions in South Africa – a hunting licence or proven hunting experience isn’t usually necessary. This means that many lions aren’t killed by the first shot which results in them experiencing an agonising death, this is often the case when hunters choose to kill the lion using a bow and arrow.
For trophy hunting in South Africa there are approximately 6000 lions currently be held in the countries 200 breeding farms and neighbouring properties where they will be killed.
