We trust Minister Aucamp will continue the democratic process, which is firmly rooted in science & fully in line with his party’s Resolution, to end the captive lion industry. Ex-Minister George spoke out against “canned” lion hunting and this is what he said 👉 tinyurl.com/2nfmjkrf

🆘 WE NEED YOUR HELP 🆘 DA leader John Steenhuisen has asked Pres. Ramaphosa to remove Minister Dion George — a key ally in ending SA’s captive lion industry. His proposed replacement, Willie Aucamp, has deep ties to commercial captive wildlife industry. Take action now & write to President and DA!

Playing with cubs, walking with lions or taking predator selfies fuels a cruel industry ⛓️🦁⛓️ — not conservation. ‼️ Cubs aren’t orphaned. ‼️ They’re bred for profit. Say no to captivity and help end their suffering. Be the change. #TheyFeelToo #CancelCaptivity #KillingThemSoftly

South Africa is top global wildlife supplier, exporting 16+ million live wild animals (2013–2023), incl. 5,500 predators. Many go to China and Vietnam with poor welfare records, fueling trade in bones, skins & meat. SA has a moral obligation to protect these animals. #TheyFeelToo #CancelCaptivity

In SA’s captive predator industry lions & other predators suffer deeply. Poor diets, disease, stress & confinement lead to obesity, injury, pacing, self-mutilation & mental distress. Their welfare is compromised for profit. #TheyFeelToo #CancelCaptivity More: bloodlions.org/theyfeeltoo6/

In SAs commercial predator industry not only lions, but leopards, cheetahs, servals, tigers & more are bred. Torn from mothers, used for petting & photo props, sold to zoos, and traded for parts. Their suffering is the same. #TheyFeelToo Time to #CancelCaptivity More: tinyurl.com/7426xs8a

Rarities, like white lions, lions with dark manes, or white tigers are widely bred in SAs captive predator industry for their trophy hunting value. They’re bred from small founder populations causing inbreeding & welfare issues. #TheyFeelToo Time to #CancelCaptivity More tinyurl.com/7426xs8a
