DYING TO BE FREE: THE CANNED LION SCANDAL BY GARETH PATTERSON

DYING TO BE FREE: THE CANNED LION SCANDAL AND THE CASE FOR ENDING TROPHY HUNTING IN AFRICA BY GARETH PATTERSON. HARDCOVER, 205 PAGES, FULLY INTACT DUST JACKET, NO INSCRIPTIONS OR NAMES. This is Gareth Pattersons account of his investigation into the canned lion industry in Southern Africa, where lions are bred in captivity for the sole purpose of being hunted and killed by high-paying trophy hunters. He unveils the ugly parallels that exist between the oppression of humans in the old South Africa and the continuing cruel exploitation of wild animals in the new South Africa. He exposes the myths of South Africas conservation image and how, even at present, these myths are largely believed and unquestioned. Even now, hunting is still openly sold to the public as an integral part of conservation rather than for the use and profit of humans.
