Show Notes
South Africas National Council of Provinces approves draft notice to ban new captive lion facilities, marking a significant step towards ending exploitative activities. The SPCA celebrates this as a major milestone in ending an industry that has tormented animals for years. Despite the unanimous vote from all nine provinces, hundreds of old facilities continue to operate, and industry players are fighting in court to save the bone trade. The SPCA urges Minister Willie Aucamp to publish the notice and outline a full shutdown timeline for all commercial lion operations.
