Found the Cape Town details, Robin Emslie Williams! 11am from CT University of Technology to Parliament. The Global March for Lions (a South African initiative) is taking place in Cape Town and nationwide, including many other provinces, as well worldwide (55 cities). The march in Cape Town is from Keizergracht (next to the Cape Town University of Technology) to parliament from 11am. CANNED HUNTING is a practice that is LEGAL in South Africa, where lions get bred in captivity, hand reared for use in the cub petting industry, then when these tame lions are big enough, shot in an enclosure often drugged, for an enormous sum of money. Did you know there are fewer than 4000 lions left in the “wild” in South Africa but more than 8000 in captivity, being bred for the bullet or the arrow? In Africa, only 20 000 wild lions roam the continent. People around the world are calling for the South African government to ban canned hunting. The Facts The captive killing of tamed lions (“canned hunting”) is a growing, un-policed industry. This heinous practice of canned hunting and lion farming does nothing to protect our wild lions. The goals of the global march is to ask the South African government to ban canned hunting; To have lions moved to the Endangered Species list, to stop the export of lion bones to China and to prohibit the import of lion trophies to USA and EU. The demand for lion bones is posing an increased threat to wild lions. Lions will be extinct in less than twenty years if action is not taken today. Official website: globalmarch4lions.org
