According to a new documentary called Blood Lions (for which Born Free Foundation provided funding), foreign hunters kill two to three lions every day in South Africa. Unlike the famous Cecil, however, these are captive cats: born and bred in cages solely for the purpose of selling them for “canned hunts.” According to Adam M. Roberts, CEO of Born Free USA and Born Free Foundation, “Blood Lions is perhaps the most in-depth and significant look inside the insidious world of South African canned hunts. It shows how nefarious these operators are and visually depicts the massive cruelty of canned lion hunting in grotesque detail.”
