The documentary, which lays bare the disturbing and deadly canned lion hunting and breeding industry, first premiered in 2015, but can now be watched for free.
JOHANNESBURG - The award-winning 2015 documentary exposing canned lion breeding and hunting has found a new, permanent home.
When it first premiered more than eight years ago in more than 180 countries, the film received positive, albeit outraged, responses, said Blood Lions director and producer Pippa Hankinson."This is indeed happening, with our government’s acknowledgement that the industry has no conservation value, has discredited South Africa’s conservation and tourism reputations, and that it should be phased out," she said.
Lion cubs born in captivity are separated from their mothers when they are a few days old, and within a month, they are forced into petting enclosures to be hand-reared and bottle-fed by tourists under the impression they are contributing to conservation efforts.
