Episode description

Blood Lions exposes the exploitation of big cats used for interactive activities in tourism, which include cub petting, walking with lions, and "voluntourism". These unethical and insidious practices form part of the life cycle of a lion in the commercial captive predator breeding industry in South Africa.

We speak with Dr Louise de Waal, director and campaign manager of Blood Lions and discuss the issue of animal welfare throughout the life cycle of a captive bred lion. If you would like to learn more about the work being done by Blood Lions, please see the link below | https://bloodlions.org/
