Description
Blood Lions exposes the exploitation of big cats used for interactive activities in tourism, which include cub petting, walking with lions, and "voluntourism".

We speak with Dr Louise de Waal, director and campaign manager of Blood Lions and discuss the issue of animal welfare throughout the life cycle of a captive bred lion.
