Podcasts about canned hunting

La chasse close ou chasse en enclos (en anglais : canned hunting) est une chasse aux trophées où l'animal est gardé dans un espace clôturé et contrôlé, accroissant ainsi les chances de le tuer. Les animaux sont élevés dans des fermes pour être abattus par des chasseurs de trophées. Leurs restes sont envoyés en Asie comme ingrédients dans les pharmacopées traditionnelles. Les animaux sont donc exploités "from cradle to the grave", du berceau à la tombe. NB: Connaissez-vous le site Baleine sous Gravillon ?

‘Shortcasts' are short standalone audio comments and statements from conservationists, campaigners, charities, authors and members of our audience. If it needs to be said – say it here!Eduardo Goncalves, founder of the Campaign to Ban Trophy Hunting, is reacting here to the surprising news that South Africa was shutting down its canned lion industry and how almost all trophy hunting has 'a canned element to it'.

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)

In our first episode of Zoology Ramblings, Robi and I talk about sloths, ghost bats, research on African golden wolves, canned hunting and the latest badger culling licenses which have been issued. Welcome to our first of hopefully many Zoology...

In this episode I talk with Anthony Peniston from the LionWatch Project SA run by Vision Africa Wildlife. The focus of this project is to rescue and rehabilitate lions from canned hunting and lion breeding farms!

The recent trend is that CITES is outdated, that it has no teeth, that the very trade in endangered and threatened species is causing them to slip toward extinction.

Dr. Ronald Orenstein is a highly involved participant and Observer at CITES since 1987, a member of Board of Directors of the Species Survival Network (SSN), the Elephant Research Foundation (ERF), author and prolific writer- So who better to ask? Today we start from the beginning as Ron guides us through the layers, intricacies and inner workings of CITES in ariveting, in-depth conversation about What is CITES? What makes it unique?

With returning guest Chris Mercer, founder of the International Campaign Against Canned Hunting ICACH, we discuss how conservation has been hijacked by the focus on “Sustainable Consumptive Utilization”, a policy that encourages cruel exploitation where wildlife is not valued for its role in our living world, but only the dollar value commodity to be traded or sold; simply a value based on death. Lions are caught in the forces of greed driving the industrial farming of lions for cub petting, hunting and ultimately, the lion bone trade, and are the victims of policies surrounding the management of captive lions based on unsupported sustainable consumptive utilization rules and the interests of the hunting and breeding industry. Chris reveals what is really happening within this industry based on profits alone with no conservation value – and what activists can do to make an impact against these big money vested interests, and to strategically fight the actions at the policy level.

With the CITES CoP17 trade resolutions voted upon, now it's time to look that the ramifications of conservation by committee based upon the utilization model pressure of supply vs demand. With my guests Dex Kotze we can a real world idea of actual numbers, how many real world animals it takes to provide for an ever increasing demand in a legalized trade and the arguments that a legal trade can out compete an illegal trade. Pippa Hankison, the force behind Blood Lions, the film that blew the lid of the Canned Hunting Industry and Trade, the effects, fate and future of farmed ‘wild' life that lurk in the dark corners of unmonitored, unregulated, legal and illegal trade –the loss for lions out of CoP17 is the epitome of breaking down the value of the whole of nature into commoditized parts, available to the highest bidder. No matter how much we sell, nature cannot fulfill the demands of an ever increasing human population.

As the dust just begins to settle from CITES, the veil lifts and the shock waves of the decisions ripple across the world- through the conservation communities and the ‘industry'. The other side altruism is business, and philanthropy and conservation today has become very big business indeed, when model base is ‘utilization', ‘consumptive' and a flip definition of ‘sustainable use'. There is a disturbing trend with far reaching consequences when wild life becomes, as my guest Chris Mercer calls it, Alternative Livestock. Domestication of once wild animals as commodity, spin it into something appealing and call it conservation. The general public is being misled. In shiny halls and cafes back room deals political favor and alliances are being made, and at this level it's about trade, and trade is about money. New boundaries are being crossed, losses expanding, and the last frontier, wild life, is under siege.

We begin our tribute to the majestic bale eagle with the history of its becoming part of our national emblem. The bald eagle, very prevalent as North America was colonized by Europeans, was later forced nearly to extinction, but recovered due to legislation (The Bald Eagle Protection Act) and the banning of DDT, enforcement of […]

Trade in endangered species is about money and politics, and everything can be had for a price. Is the ultimate price the loss of the very definition of ‘wildness' when trade models based on privatized farming and domestication of the wild? When the poaching of wildlife happens inside the private fences and the breeders have blatantly stated that conservation is not their goal? Can breeders credibly cry wolf and animal cruelty when the value of the animal is only tallied upon its worth as a carcass or its parts? We're now seeing in earnest both the expected and the unexpected acid fallout and backlash of CITES resolutions and the interests at heart in predator breeding facilities. The way it's going so far, once again, it seems money will win the day as politics and trade negotiations put our earth and its living biosphere on the table to the highest bidders and the depth of what is wildness becomes sidelined.

br Today we are back on the trail of the canned lion breeding with guests Drew Abrahamson and Paul Tully of Captured In Africa, who's mission is to bring awareness through safari, the tourism sector and through schools, of canned lion industry and its spin-offs of urban 'lion safari parks', the cub-petting and lion walking 'parks' which on the whole are a cover for the insidious canned hunting of lions who's sole purpose on earth is to raise profits to breed more lions for the trophy hunting industry which insidiously feeds the illegal markets in lion bone trade and trafficking. Drew and Paul take us through the chain of events of captive lions vs. 'reserves' in a country where wildlife is completely fenced in, and the campaigns and advocacy work in educating 'voluntourists' and school children toward advocacy for Africa's dwindling wild lion populations.

Here we are one year after Cecil, one lion of thousands, captured the world because an American was involved. Today's episode with Johnny Rodrigues from one year ago attests we have witnessed a paradigm shift, and the effects will continue to ripple out near and far into the future. It is good we can rally around an iconic species, that USFW EPA has listed lions; that trophy and canned hunting may not be the best way to increase tourism. The impact gained by the attention of multitudes of people can make rapid change happen. We've found some answers for lions, yet the question remains, When will we gather together to solve the elephant and rhino crises? Whether wild or captive or farmed? From burning to crushing to banning, we have not succeeded in either crushing the demand nor stopped killing nor made a dent in the cartels, changed legal status or hunting, nor the illegal trafficking and trade. What will it take to find and rally around the equivalent of ‘Cecil' The Elephant?

The world was outraged when Cecil the Lion was killed by a Bloomington, Minnesota dentist named Walter Palmer back on July 1, 2015. Although the world was outraged, Palmer was not incarcerated or fined because he had a valid permit Sadly, trophy hunting and canned hunting are still legal. There are no international laws to this date. However, major progress has been made thanks to NJ's Senator Raymond Lesniak. In this segment of The Organic View Radio Show, Senator Raymond Lesniak talks to host, June Stoyer about his efforts to protect wildlife and put an end to trophy hunting.

This is the second part of a conversation with Ian Michler. We talk about predator breeding, canned breeding, and the making of the movie, “Blood Lions”. Ian takes us behind the scenes of the making of the film. He shares some of the very hairy moments during the making of the movie. He also talks about the experience of Rick Swayze, the American hunter who features in the movie. If you’ve see the film you’ll know that Rick and the film crew go under cover on a lion hunting farm in South Africa. They are behind locked gates and very high fences with some extremely angry human beings, plenty of guns and ammunition, and lots of lions, when it all starts going very awry. Meanwhile, Ian and producer Pippa Hankinson are just outside the farm waiting for news. It’s a story that will definitely get the pulse racing. We then finish up by talking about how Blood Lions is changing the landscape of canned hunting and what might happen to all the lions that are currently in captivity if canned hunting is banned.

Ian Michler is an ardent conservationist, widely renowned for his investigative journalism over the last 18 years that has helped expose the 'Canned' lion hunting industry in South Africa. He has also been heavily involved in the making of the movie 'Blood Lions' which was released in July 2015. This is a special double episode, where Ian talks in detail about predator breeding and canned hunting, and his own personal experiences in working to uncover the truth of this sordid industry. It has meant many battles, and often putting himself into the 'lions den' - behind electrified fences and locked gates, where there are guns, lions and people who deal in brutality. It is an amazing conversation - I hope you enjoy it. 

Recently, there have been efforts to remove the horn from the wild rhinoceros in an effort to protect them from being slaughtered for their horns. Is this a wise idea or will this merely maim the animal, rendering it helpless in the wild? There have been many efforts to protect wildlife but one of the most important ways this can be achieved is by training the anti-poaching volunteers using military techniques. In this encore segment of The Organic View Radio Show, host, June Stoyer talks to Damien Mander, CEO of The International Anti-Poaching Foundation about the illegal trafficking of wildlife industry and why there needs to be a global ban on canned hunting.

We ask Athans Steffen from People Against Canned Hunting about how the selfie has become a weapon of mass destruction when it comes to wildlife & how we must start sizing up the very idea of big cat sanctuaries.

There is a global effort to raise awareness about a sport that is reducing the global population of many species to the brink of extinction, especially the lions and tigers. Canned hunting or trophy hunting facilities offer their customers the opportunity to kill exotic and native animals trapped within enclosures. In this segment of The Organic View Radio Show, author and animal advocate, Matthew Payne, talks to June Stoyer about his best-selling book called "A Father's Pride," as well as his amazing efforts to promote wildlife conservation education with an organization that he founded called “So What”!  The proceeds from this book support an amazing organization called LionAid.org.

A tremendous amount has happened around the landscape for lions- wild, captive, canned, and conservation successes and projects, and now we have the USFW ESA lion listing decision adding to the landscape. As much as 2015 seemed to be a 'bad year for lions', perhaps in the end, as we head into a new year, the lions finally have their voices heard. Between dedicated conservationists, documentary films, one captivating lion, and you dear listener, a shift in global consciousness is creating a tidal wave of change, one that many of us have been working toward and awaiting for a long, long time. With incredible diversity across Africa, and an enormous variety of responsive programs keeping conservation at the heart of the matter. As we focus this year on the many faces and places, today we bring you the particulars and challenges of a given place with my guest Chris Mercer, founder of CACH and the Karoo Wildlife Center in S. W. Africa.

Every single day In South Africa two to three captive bred or tame lions are killed in canned hunts under the guise of conservation, research and education. With the launch of Blood Lions, a hard hitting documentary exposing the underbelly of the lucrative and growing industry of lion farming, its undercurrents of brutality, questionable ethics of a moral vacuum filled by greed and self-importance of those who derive pleasure in the taking of life. My guest, acclaimed environmental reporter and safari guide, Ian Michler, has been following the story of industrialized lion farming and canned hunts since 1999, and today shares discoveries from his journey: from cub petting, volunteer recruitment and lion walking, to the canned hunt all the way to the end of the lion, and further links to the booming lion bone trade. Timely, courageous and giving voice to the voiceless wild, Blood Lions is also deeply disturbing in what it says about us. www.bloodlions.org

A cycle of cruelty, Canned Hunting is the industrialized farming of lions, bred by the thousands for no other purpose than to be killed for thrill and entertainment by the animal trophy collector. A very profitable business model, canned hunting is supported by externalizing costs via spin-off commercial enterprises that outright bilk tourists and naïve volunteers into hand-rearing these living targets, while further supplying the dark underbelly of international trade in lion parts and products. Amazingly, the industry is so popular that in 2012, in South Africa alone, it generated the equivalent of 70 million US dollars. Today, with my guest Chris Mercer, founder of the Campaign Against Canned Hunting (CACH), we alert you to help expose the cruelty and abuse to these lions, and the harm and threat this industry poses to the world's remaining wild lions and conservation efforts to protect them. Become part of the Global March for Lions and ban canned hunting, wherever it exists.

On this show we continue our examination of the treatment of lions in Africa. Pippa Hankinson, Producer of the film, Blood Lions, joins Peter for an extended discussion covering the various ways lions are bred, exploited, and ultimately killed for sport. Listen to learn the tragic details and what you can do to help end […]

Throughout human history Lions have represented royalty and power and universally symbolize hope, courage and strength. Around the world Lions are heralded through art, literature to representations on flags to national emblems to sports. Like no other animal, Lions directly appeal to people spanning all ages regardless of culture, race, and national origin. My guest Pieter Kat of LionAid provides us an insight and perception into lions not only as an ancient species and how our evolution relates to them, but to their drastic population decline and our disastrous failures to protect them. Lions face entirely new sets of human related challenges, from habitat loss to this surge of industrialized captive utilization- the farming lions as a commodity for a burgeoning industry pandering to human entertainment not just recognizing their importance to us sociologically, also an apex predator and critical component of our wild world. www.lionaid.org

Through an intimate and enlightening conversation with Kevin Richardson, we learn why he is called The Lion Whisperer, but what makes Kevin exceptional is that he listens to what lions are telling us. Through his unique relationships with his lions, Kevin opens a window into the mind behind the mane. Our conversation is a unblemished view into Kevin's own journey of passion for lions, and why he has dedicated his life to saving them and ending the industrialized farming of lions as nothing more than commodity, and exposing the dark underbelly of canned lion hunts. Manipulating nature and an iconic species for activity based “lion theme parks” by offering up-close interactions with captive hand-raised lions from cub petting to lion walking, can be treacherous for the naïve volunteer or visitor, and for the lions- a dangerous business model where nature bites back and the ultimate tragedy strikes: Death, for a person and for a lion.

Friday March 13, 2015 Australian Environment Minister Greg Hunt made world history by taking the lead and announcing the immediate ban of the import and export of African Lion trophies and body parts. The S. African Gov't and professional hunting bodies around the world prefer the euphemism ‘captive hunts' to ‘canned', but Donalea Patman and Ian Michler, and the proponents against Canned Hunting say Captive Hunting is still Canned Hunting. The facts are, lions and other wildlife, are being bred in captivity to be killed in captivity. If an animal bred for the bullet cannot be imported into a hunter's home nation, then perhaps we can roar across the world that profiteering through the industrialized farming of wildlife and canned hunting is not conservation, and brings under question whether that type of industry and business model is an effectual human relationship to wildlife and our wild world.

From the ABC's  Bush Telegraph with Cameron Wilson, Young Australian volunteers unwittingly paying to prop up 'cruel' canned hunting industry: South African conservationist. oung Australian volunteers are flying to South Africa and helping to raise lion cubs in the belief that they are going to be released back into the wild, only for those lions to be used purely for canned hunting purposes. That is the allegation of Ian Michler, a South African journalist and conservationist who has lobbied internationally to close down the canned hunting industry. 'A lot of young students are being lured over there, they are paying up to $1,000 a week to breeders to go and work in these properties on the grounds that they are doing something constructive for conservation,' said Mr Michler. 'It's a con.' Canned hunting takes place in confined environments, where animals, most commonly lions, have been bred to be killed. It differs from more traditional 'fair-chase' hunting, where the hunt takes place in an area large enough for the animal to have a chance of escape. 'In this day and age, where everything is on demand, canned hunting is a form where you can get your animal a lot cheaper, you can get it in a shorter period of time, and it is guaranteed,' said Mr Michler. 'The animal has no chance of escape.'   Thank you to the ABC's  Bush Telegraph for this Audio
