ANIMAL
PETITIONS

In South Africa, a cruel and unsustainable industry has emerged – the intensive breeding and commercial trading of big cats. These majestic animals, including lions, tigers, and leopards, are being treated as mere commodities, fueling a global market for traditional Asian medicine products and luxury items. This practice is not only unethical but also contributing to the devastating biodiversity crisis our planet is facing.

We are calling on the South African government to take immediate action to halt the farming of all big cat species and impose a complete ban on the commercial trade of big cats and their parts, both within the country and across its borders. This illicit trade is a major driver of the illegal wildlife trade, which is the fourth largest criminal activity globally, and it is fueling consumer demand, particularly in Asia.

By adding your name to this petition, you can lend your voice to this crucial cause. Together, we can put an end to this exploitative industry and protect these magnificent creatures from further exploitation and potential extinction.

Join us in demanding that South Africa prioritize the welfare of big cats and the preservation of our planet's biodiversity over profit. Sign our petition today and help us create a future where these iconic animals are respected and protected, not bred and traded as mere commodities.
