I, a young female, was roughly accosted and pushed by a fat, red-faced male employee of the Lion Park, wearing the staff uniform, during the Johannesburg leg of the Global March for Lions on 21 March 2015. What I apparently did to offend this man, was to walk within sight of a car that was going into the Lion Park and display my poster �Bred for the Bullet : Ban Canned Hunting�. If such a thing turns the employees so easily violent, one has to wonder what they are hiding. The Lion Park has a constant stream of sleepy, very captive (sedated? � just think of the public liability claim and bad publicity that would ensue if a child was accidentally hurt while interacting with a naturally rambunctious cub who plays like kittens do) lion cubs all year round so that they can charge people money for 10 minutes of petting the cubs in a cage. They will not provide evidence of where these hundreds of cubs go when they are too big for petting, yet deny that they are sold to canned hunting farms. If they have the proof to end this debate in the public interest, why wouldn�t they provide it? This is a zoo. It breeds and holds captive wild animals for profit. AVOID it at all costs. Support a legitimate sanctuary or wildlife reserve instead.
