Canned hunting: an industry which treats lions and other large predators like cattle. Hand-reared as cubs, often by unknowing volunteers and tourists, lions are being reared in captivity to fuel this cruel industry. Cubs make money from "petting a lion" experiences, the females go on to become breeding machines and the males often end up being released into fenced areas to be shot as trophies. This industry hides its secrets well but Robi and I hope to shed some light on it and make people aware what is happening to these majestic carnivores in South Africa.Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/thebiomeproject)
