#BreakTheViciousCycle: South Africa is intensively farming big cats!
South Africa hosts a booming industry: the farming of big cats. With an estimated 10,000 captive lions🦁 and over 600 tigers🐯 confined in facilities across the nation, their existence is solely for commercial gain.
In light of the general election in South Africa on May 29, FOUR PAWS calls upon the Department of Forestry, Fisheries, and the Environment to publish a time-bound government implementation plan to end the captive keeping of lions for commercial purposes💰 and close captive lion facilities.
Important steps have already been taken and it’s vital that momentum is not lost. At the end of March, the South African Cabinet approved a Policy Position on the conservation and sustainable use of several iconic species. This set the precedent for the country to put a stop to big cat farming. ❌
Days later, the Cabinet approved a Ministerial Task Team report that identifies and recommends voluntary exit options from the captive lion industry and recommends that other predators are included in a phase-out out.
It’s time to halt the exploitation of big cats for commercial interests and permanently close the industry❗
