I wish it was more legitimate. Far cheaper and far higher success rates than actual free range sporting wild lion hunts.

I got that quotation from a Farcebook group of South Africans most trying to tout their farce lion hunts behind wire. And sucked in or lying clients trying to pretend their trophy MGM lion was weally weally wild ...

That Botswana reference is because some outfitters try to pretend the lion hunted is a wild Botswana lion that crossed the border and jumped into the high fenced lion paddock ...

A useful bit of information however:

For breeding, minimum is 1 ha (100m x 100m) per lion, app 2,2 acres. For hunting it differs between provinces. Minimum is 1,000 ha and some 3,000 ha. Release time also differs between provinces, from 7 days to 3 months. No feeding or baiting allowed

A lion transferred from a one hectare hand feeding cage, into 1000 ha high fenced paddocks, 7 days ago hungry from being inexperienced in catching its own unbutchered meat .... Challenging ...

I gather this is the new "non canned" lion hunting minimums ...
