Rejected petition Ban Big Cat Cub Petting in the UK

More details

We call on the British Government to impose a nationwide Ban on Big Cat Cub Petting, including all Big Cat species in UK Zoos, Parks, Sanctuaries and Habitats.

Cub Petting has NO conservation value whatsoever. Once a Cub has become accustomed to human contact, it can never be rehabilitated & introduced to the wild.

2013 saw two UK Zoo's closely linked with a South African Canned Hunting Farm - where Lions are bred for Canned Hunting, for "sport"

Combating this cruel & barbaric industry from outside South Africa is a must, this will help drive down this industry's revenue, thus affecting the industry as a whole.

More on the Canned Hunting industry can be found at www.cannedlion.org & www.lionaid.org
