In September, a South African lion farmer sent a shipment of ten healthy lions to the East Asian country of Laos - a sale that raised the alarm for animal activists. In Laos, tigers have been hunted to extinction, but their body parts are still in high demand in traditional medicine and used in a fine wine. But with the supply in the tiger bone market shrinking, alternatives are being sought in South Africa. Activists believe that the shipment of lions was destined to be killed to feed the country’s growing tiger bone industry. It’s a complex story where lion bones are used to supplement the tiger bone market. But was the farmer aware that the shipment of lions would be killed in Laos? Carte Blanche investigates and what we find, suggests that these lions were deliberately sent to their deaths.

I felt my heart sink when they said one of the lionesses lost all of its 5 cubs.

My favourite Ghandi quote about animals goes, "The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated," and "'I hold that the more helpless a creature, the more entitled it is to protection by man from the cruelty of man."

It should be obvious that the only way to protect wildcats in the wild is to eliminate excuses for paying to see them in cages at all.

Traditional Asian medicine has been damaging Africa's wildlife for years and it's sad to watch this. It was first elephants then rhinos and now it is lions 😢. I even saw pangolin scales on this video 💀

Boggles the mind that human beings can promote cruelty to animals just to make (blood-stained) money... I used to be of the opinion that all South Africans love wildlife, and would never engage in this type of activity. How wrong I was!
