Blood Lions: A Call to Stop Canned Lion Hunting

The death of a beloved lion named Cecil, at the hands of an American hunter in Zimbabwe, struck a nerve around the globe. The debate about the ethics of that hunt still provokes strong emotions. On Wednesday, October 7th, MSNBC will focus on another side of the industry, the legal side. Blood Lions, a one hour documentary, takes viewers inside the seldom seen world of the “canned hunting” industry in South Africa.

With the help of Ian Michler, safari operator and environmental journalist and Rick Swazey, an American hunter, viewers will see inside the breeding farms where lions are bred for a variety of exploitative revenue streams.

“Our film is an exposé,” says Blood Lions director Bruce Young, “most of the lions exist in appalling conditions, exploited at every stage of their lives. Even the people in South Africa do not know that lions are being bred for the bullet – and that it is totally legal. We want to show the world what is going on, who is involved, the impact on the animals and how much money is being generated by this industry.”

Also known as captive bred lion hunting, canned hunts allow hunters to select their lion ahead of time and complete a hunt in a matter of just three days. Canned hunts provide a cheaper, faster, and a surefire way of hunting predatory animals, compared to wild lion hunts which may last weeks with a much lower probability of success. Americans are largely fueling the industry, with 62% of the trophies being imported into the United States, according to Humane Society International.

The documentary includes the perspective of both proponents of this practice who say that hunting helps preserve Africa’s lion population and conservationists who are quick to dispute that claim.

Blood Lions™ - A Call to Stop Canned Lion Hunting

Canned hunting is very dishonorable to the hunter and to the prey. Actually, canned hunting is not hunting - it's just killing, much like in a slaughterhouse.

I think big game hunting like this is dispicable, but the problem is in African countries. It's just a big money making business for them. Maybe if Africans learn to make money in a way that doesn't including scamming, they wouldn't need to make money by this way. But we are talking about a people that were willing to sell their brothers into slavery. They are all about making an easy buck no matter how immoral.

yes im sensitive to "men" and "women" who "hunt" and kill fotr "sport" because they get off on it and makes them feel special. Google canned hunting, google commercial farming and see the absolute torture these innocent animals go through every day by the millions. Why don't you eat your dog or cat btw?
Well I have never eat house cat or a dog that I know of... Chances are if anyone has eaten oriental food at a restaurant they have eaten cat and dog.
Anyway, your making a mountain out of a molehill... Don't you think??

The death of a beloved lion named Cecil, at the hands of an American hunter in Zimbabwe, struck a nerve around the globe.

Oh bullshit. The locals sure didn't love that damned lion. Only a bunch of narcisistic Westerners who thin Nature is accurately portrayed in Disney movies had any affection for a predatory beast.

The only place for a lion is in a zoo or dead. Anyone who thinks different is either not a local or is a fool.
 
Plus, by far most of the killing of animals in Africa are for bush meat... The killing for trophies is only a fraction of a fraction in the grand scheme of things.
The problem with these so called realty shows is they play on the heart strings of an uneducated public on the fact helping to push the insincerity of a deceptive agenda.

says the POS hunter with a very small dick.
So, what's your point?
I sounds like your sensitive to the subject??


yes im sensitive to "men" and "women" who "hunt" and kill fotr "sport" because they get off on it and makes them feel special. Google canned hunting, google commercial farming and see the absolute torture these innocent animals go through every day by the millions. Why don't you eat your dog or cat btw?
Well I have never eat house cat or a dog that I know of... Chances are if anyone has eaten oriental food at a restaurant they have eaten cat and dog.

do you have a pet?
if so, why don't you eat it?
No time for pets...

the only place for a lion is in the wild and not in a zoo for your entertainment you fool. Do you have a pet? I bet you do- why don't you shoot and then eat your pet or put it on a wall?

If I had to I would, so what?

Lions are killers and killers belong in cages or dead.

And the vapid opinions of ass hats like you that don't have to live among African lions is horse shit.
