'Canned' lion hunts are on the increase in South Africa. A captive reared, or trapped, animal is released into an enclosed area to be shot by paying hunters. Some lions are drugged.
The victims are rarely aware of the danger they are in, and, if they do realise, escape is impossible. Please support the Captive Animals Protection Society campaign to end canned hunting.

What can you do?
By joining Rainforest Concern and sponsoring acres of threatened rainforest for the Choco-Andean Rainforest Corridor in Ecuador, South America, you will be protecting one of the world's most important ecological areas. Within these forests live an amazingly high number of endangered species, many of which are found nowhere else on earth. This is why the region has been classified as one of the world's "biodiversity hotspots"
You will be helping to secure the survival and culture of the Awa and Cayapas indigenous people who still live in harmony with their natural environment. These forests are also home to exotic animals such as jaguars pumas, tapirs, sloths and monkeys, hundreds of species of birds and thousands of species of plants.
