Blood Lions says Creecy’s task team will help bring end to captive lion industry

was created to review the current policies, legislation and practices on management, breeding, hunting, trade and handling of elephant, lion, leopard and rhinoceros.“The white paper is a substantial document. There are shortcomings, even contradictions, but in the main it heralds significant progress on many of the issues that have needed attention in our welfare and wildlife management legislation. The authors and Ministry need to be commended,” said Director at Blood Lions, Ian Michler.

Creecy in May last year banned the controversial captive lion industry, including canned hunting, petting zoos and the commercial trade in lion bones. Michler said the minister’s decision to appoint the ministerial task team is an important step in banning the captive lion industry. “After decades of opposition and a strong mandate from a high-level panel in 2020, we welcome the government’s announcement that it will begin the process of closing down the captive lion industry. A voluntary exit route laid out and monitored by a task team of experts seems to be a sensible way to start,” said Michler.
