South Africa lion breeders face uncertain future after ban


South Africa’s phase-out of breeding captive big game and ban on the use of lions for commercial gain have left some big-cat breeders worried about their business prospects. A ministerial task team appointed by former minister of environment, Barbara Creecy, recommended in December 2022 closure of the breeding sector, but did not provide…

These animals are worth conserving because they are our pride n joy

@aquestforrest6978

Disgusting that you want to breed lions!!! They should ALWAYS be in their natural habitat!!!!

@zolisamaine3518

Not the indigenous

@mazuba10

Wild animals belong IN the wild & not in some weird laboratory for fun and games!

@eliw3261

👏 It's about time. I can't believe this was even legal. Lions deserve to be treated with dignity and repect. Breeding them like farm animals is disgusting! South Africa should ban the captive breeding of all cats. These breeders are despicable.

@williamciscokugle940

Yeah, no more canned hunt🥳🇿🇦

@noname1247

It's a puppy-mill but for lions. Unethical. All their "research" is just on how to breed more to sell more.

@nasaali1

Its about time they ban that sick 💩

@terrellscaife2411

Bad cat

@gcgfchjkjlklkcxfxdzs

It should be totally banned, breeders should be jailed.

@MusehanaH

Rearing a grown male lion? That looks unnatural. Are you kidding me?
I have need to a "game reserve" where they kept two lions in a brick structure shelter…like seriously? I have never felt so stressed on behalf of the lions. Let them animals roam the wild free, the way nature intended

Ban the Breeding for hunting

@cherrieuy5558

Breeding them saves them from extinction, but breeding them leaves them to be sterilized because they become commodities then they go extinct. I don’t think earth is a good place without animals. Specially the big cats. How about ban the selling, instead let them breed naturally then release them to the “wild” -> protected land against human entry. Idk…humans are so cruel and greedy. Maybe we are the ones who need to stop breeding so we go extinct. Earth is at its worst because of humans anyway.

@Starry_i_CPT

Shut it down.

@Kvngsn

BAN

@brendatenorio5721

No exemptions.

@magdalen5108

Of course the animal traffickers are all old white men.

@magdalen5108

Get a real job? Stop trafficking animals like garbage for hunting? Grow up and take responsibilty for your lives?

@lastChang

China 🇨🇳 is promoting BRICS, which includes South Africa, and using it as a dumping ground, an exact term for overcapacity.
