Canned Lion Hunting

Sign our petition against canned hunting in South Africa!

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.

This barbaric practice guarantees a kill as the habituated lion has no where to go inside the ‘can’ or enclosure where it is shot. The animals can’t escape from the cages. Occasionally they are attracted with bait, sometimes they are even sedated with medicine.

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, lions are bred in 200 farms, usually raised by hand and accustomed to humans. Today, around 6000 captive animals are threatened with the same gruesome fate – more than ever before. South Africa has an estimated wild lion population of approximately 1200 lions.

First pet …

Unwitting tourists visit these farms and pay money to look at or touch young lion cubs. That they are thereby supporting a horrific industry, an industry that even many hunting associations reject as being unethical, is something that most of the tourists don’t know. The farms often advertise as wildlife sanctuaries to lure in foreign volunteers under the pretence of helping save the species.

… then shoot

When the lions reach the trophy age of four to seven years they are then deemed appropriate to be sold for a trophy canned hunt. In many cases the ‘hunting’ isn’t carried out on the same farm that the animal was bred at. Instead the lions are transported to other areas and shot there. Most of the breeding and hunting stations in South Africa are located in the provinces Free State, North West and the Limpopo.

Canned Hunting is a hobby for a well-off minority from rich industrial nations. The larger the wallet, the larger the trophy. A male lion with its magnificent mane can cost as much as £25,000, while animals with particularly dark, thick manes go for up to £45,000. On some farms, even the cubs are offered for shooting.

To create the ultimate lion trophy, farmers have to maintain a diverse gene pool when breeding. Due to whistle-blowers in both South Africa and Botswana we now know that wild lions are being smuggled and sold to these farms to ensure this genetic diversity is reached.

Complete hunting packages, which include the “support” of professional hunters as well as room and board, are offered on the internet, at hunting trade fairs or in specialist travel agencies. The transport costs and expenses for the animal preparer are also paid.

But not only lions fall victim to the trigger happy hunting tourists. In order to offer hunters special trophies some farms even breed and offer tigers for hunting, even though the animal isn’t indigenous to South Africa. Leopards and cheetahs are also common big cat species on these farms.

ugh
 
Exactly guys a scumbag zim goverment confiscated the trophys.
They do similarly cage hunts in the states and even catch pigeons but them in cages and release them to be shot!
Which was how the olympics clay pigeon shoot was done orginally in the 1900's!! Cant see that being on tv.
:facepalm: Fuckwits still do that shot a drone down that was filming the sadistic fucks.
 
so, he's a sex pest with a prior conviction for killing something he should not have and trying to blag that it was in the authorised zone. To the wall with him


I disagree - wall would be too quick... I have a special place in my warped and twisted human hating part of my brain that I would happily reopen for this guy. it could be strung out for weeks if not months.
 
It's desperately sad about the fate of the human trusting lion . But I can't help but giggle at the thought of that predatory prick ambling about his house of the morning, still chuffed at his lion kill . Looking forward to a days molar drilling and switching on tinternet ...tum te tum te tum..still stirring his tea...and then wtf ? . His sharp little face going whiter than his mad teeth . Sweat on his brow . And then it just escalating by the hour . Until he's probably the most hated man in the world right now . That's fucking awesome .
 
Utter cunt. Probably mates with Mark Thatcher. And a sex case to boot. To sum him us, a socially inadequate sad excuse for a man.

I would imagine the next few months of his life (at least) are going to be very bleak and he will loose all he has worked for and quite likely, any social normality he had. I am also hoping he will also loose his liberty for a long stretch but do not hold much hope in that.

The only good thing to have come out of this sordid and sorry tale is it has raised awareness around the issue of balding middle aged inadequate little men getting their jollies from this sort of activity and those countries/game reserves that are quite happy to take large sums of money from them.

It may make cunts like him think twice about it. :mad::mad::mad:

you could still go sadist with the wall if you chose people who are as poor a shot as the lion-slaying dentist

maybe death by firing squad a single shot to the stomach with a smallish calibre round at a suitable velocity* as a compromise?

*big enough to rupture essential bits and cause some cavitation effects but not big enough to rip right through and do massive amounts of damage.

the RAMC spring to mind starvation is a horrible way to go.:D
Drs shouldn't never be given access to automatic weapons or any firearms :(.

That whole story makes me sad, has it really come to this?

one of the most horrible ends I heard of in recent years was gaddafi...just doesn't bear thinking about. Sure he was an evil man, but fuck me it was no way to go. arse raped with a bayonet, shot in the stomach then dragged through town on a tow rope by a motor. Then stuck in the freezer room of libyas equivalent to asda's so people could come have a look.

Now perhaps I grow squeamish in my advancing years but no one deserves to go like that.

what they did to him they've done on a larger scale to the rest of the country
 
It's because it's a lion. It wasn't bothering anyone, can't be eaten and had to be baited out of a safe area just so some cunt could wound it, then chase it for 40 hours to shoot it, skin it, cut it's head off and pose for photos.

Even other shooters would be sickened by that.
most animals killed are not bothering anyone
why can't it be eaten?
yes it's dodge but just another animal killed for the whim/enjoyment of a human
I know the answer but why would other shooters (respectable ones of course) be sickened by it when the end result is the same?

pussy...

:p

in my more... deranged is probably a good word for it... years I could be far far more inventive than that. I have been told that the trick Is to keep the pain levels relatively low but varied in order to prevent the body from acclimatising to them and to occasionally take the person to the brink of passing out. combine with the psychological elements and you can keep someone in a state of perpetual fear and pain for a very very long time before its no longer effective.

I am glad my mind no longer inhabits those places
