Canned Lion Hunts

CATCA Campaign against canned lion hunts in South Africa

CATCA Campaign against canned lion hunts in South Africa
Campania de CATCA ccontra la caza dreleones "enlatada" de Sudafrica

South Africa the country where is about to host the FIFA world cup has another sport: to shoot lions used to people. This kind of hunt is called 'canned hunting'. These lions come from zoos or are breed in facilities and are almost tamed or tamed.

Four Paws of Austria/Germany, informed us that a third of the tourists willing to pay thousands of dollars to shoot a defenseless (and often tamed lions), are tourists that come from the United States.

This is the first phase of this campaign.

Let's bombard them with e-mails, faxes and letter, telling them politely that this hunt should be forbidden and that is considered uncivilized and brutal. Tell them that because of this you will boycott the FIFA Soccer World Cup this year in their country and that you would boycott their country (and tell everybody you know to do the same), until this senseless hunt ends.

Thanks,
Ericka

Sudafrica va a ser el organizador de la Copa Mundial de Futbol FIFA el proximo mes. Pero ellos tambien tienen un "de[orte" que es comprar leones viejos de zoologicos o crecer en instalaciones leones, que crecen rodeados de humanos.Estos leones son soltados en una pequena area y turistas con mucho dinero pagan hasta $45,000 Dolares US, para desde la parte de atras de una camioneta, disparar y matar facilmente a uno de estos leones. Una tercera parte de estos turistas viene de los Estados Unidos.

Vamos a bombardearles con correos electronicos, faxes y correos normales, diciendo que van a boycotear la copa mundial de futbol y que al igual van a boycotear Sudafrica y que le van a decir a todos los que conocen, que boycoteen ese pais hasta que prohiban tal "deporte" tan cruel y barbarico.

Gracias,
Ericka
