AN END TO CANNED HUNTING IN SOUTH AFRICA

South Africa has recently gained ground in the fight against the commercial exploitation of iconic wild animals with the Department of Environment, Forestry and Fisheries calling for their protection.

In a ground breaking decision, Cabinet has endorsed a High-Level Panel Report calling for the end of:
- lion farming;
- captive lion hunting;
- cub-petting; and
- commercial farming of rhinos.

Minister Barbara Creecy stated that the implementation of the recommendations contained in the report "will greatly transform the practices within the wildlife industry, enhance conservation of our environment and these species, invigorate the rural economies where the species occur or can be introduced and empower traditional practices, leadership and healers."

Minister Creecy further went on to say that following the recommendations will result in the protection and enhancement of South Africa's international reputation, repositioning the country as a competitive destination of choice for responsible hunting and ecotourism.

The report now awaits the endorsement of Parliament.
