After a 2 week hiatus, we have returned with the sixth edition of “Debunking the Myths,” which addresses the issue of “canned lion hunting.”

Captive bred lion shooting, often mistakenly referred to as “canned lion hunting,” has been a big topic of discussion amongst practitioners of sustainable use and non-hunters alike.

Here, we clarify what is actually meant by “canned lion hunting” and how the practice has no relation to ethical and sustainable hunting practices.
