The NSPCA – National Council of SPCAs found the following environmental issues during welfare inspections on commercial captive lion breeding facilities in South Africa:

• Lack of adequate shelter and shade to accommodate all animals in the camps, which can lead to hypo- or hyperthermia and dehydration (Health Domain);
• Shelters in disrepair with dangerous protruding objects, rubble and wire around the camps, which can lead to injury (Health);
• Too many animals kept in small enclosures that can lead to stress (Mental) and fighting related injuries (Health);
• Cubs, sub-adults and adults kept in separate enclosures, which can lead to stress (Mental) and acting abnormally (Behaviour).

South Africa – it is time to #CancelCaptivity
