This movie blew the cover off a brutal industry that has burgeoned in the last decade or so, operating largely under the radar of public concern.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eIn Cuddle Me Kill Me,   veteran wildlife campaigner Richard Peirce reveals horrifying facts about the industry. He tells\u003cbr\u003eThe true story of two male lions rescued from breeding farms\u003cbr\u003eThe exploitation and misery of these apex predators when they are bred in captivity\u003cbr\u003eHow young cubs are removed from their mothers mere hours after birth\u003cbr\u003eHow they are first used for petting by an adoring (and paying) public\u003cbr\u003eTheir subsequent use for ‘walking with lions’ tourism\u003cbr\u003eAnd how, in the final stage of exploitation, they are served up in fenced enclosure for execution by canned hunters – or simply shot by breeders for the value of their carcass, a prized product in the East.\u003cbr\u003eWell researched by Peirce with the help of an undercover agent, and illustrated with photos taken along the way, this is a disturbing and passionate plea to end commercial captive lion breeding and the repurposing of wildlife to cater for human greed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"book-contributors\"\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"contributor-item\"\u003e\n    \u003cspan class=\"contributor-role\"\u003eAuthor\u003c\/span\u003e\n    \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=Author+Richard+Peirce\" class=\"contributor-link\"\u003eRichard Peirce\u003c\/a\u003e\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Richard Peirce","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47376555868323,"sku":"9781775845935","price":230.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/7836\/3555\/files\/img_9781775845935_f36f226c-1c5a-4c82-a5ec-be1f41d56588.jpg?v=1776574659","url":"https:\/\/graffitibooks.co.za\/products\/9781775845935","provider":"Graffiti Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
