Rest Well Now Tilikum

Rest Well Now Tilikum

And still they die. Victims of human ignorance, ugliness, lies and arrogance.

Rest Well Now Tilikum. They die because humans do not stand up together to demand that laws be changed – that our planet be respected and that all animals be granted the freedom they deserve. Qumquat – Limba – Marius – Tembe – Satao – Joy – Watoto – Arturo – Ronnie – Cecil and countless more. All at the hands of human kind. Murdered, captured, enslaved, exploited, poached, used and abused. They die because humans lack a moral compass. They die because we are a tragic, lost species.

Shame On Humanity

Shame On Humanity 

The Ugly Evil Of Humans

Shame On Humanity – The exposure of this appalling cruelty should be a wake up call for every human being. I personally do not care what you believe in – who you pray to – or what your calling is in life. The fact that we humans – who believe in our superiority and claim to be civilized – allow this to happen to living, feeling creatures is beyond belief.

BLOOD LIONS - AMY 1-B
Amy Webster – Youth For Lions Campaign Driver – Amy is based in Hilton, South Africa. She recently graduated from the University of KwaZulu-Natal with a masters degree in Environmental sciences. Amy is passionate about animals especially animal welfare and when she was given the opportunity to be involved in this campaign she took it with both hands. Ideally, Amy would like to see an end to the captive breeding and canned hunting industry altogether.
Being a Youth campaign she is focusing on creating awareness, as Amy believes that if people knew the impacts of their actions they would not visit, play, cuddle or volunteer at these facilities. The Blood Lions team are working through tourism pledge, government, international community and youth to bring an end to this cruel unethical industry.
