Our national daily newspaper yesterday featured a full page advertisement promoting and begging for donations to worldanimalprotection.org.nz/lions
A quick search reveals this to be an international group
The page features a black and white pic of a hunter and perhaps his P.H. and a couple of ladies posing behind a male Lion trophy.
I very much doubt the hunter has approved the use of this image for publication by an ostensibly anti hunting org.
In order to take this crowd to task we need to identify the hunter and/or the others in the pic.
I’m too I.T. Challenged to get this image up so if anyone can assist then please contact me.
Organisations like this should not get away with flagrant flouting of the law to further their perspective.

Hi, Ridgeman. Long time since I saw you. Do you still hunt with Andrew?

Best, Tom

Hi Ridgeman,

I was able to locate the picture you are referencing on their web site.

They are reference farming lions for hunting and bone trade in South Africa.

Hi Tom.
Yes, on occasion but I principally work with Thor these days.
Cheers.

Thanks for the update.
The caption that accompanies the picture here in NZ just reads “Does the life of a Lion mean nothing at all ?”
I’ve mailed them asking for their position on sustainable use and legal hunting but have yet to receive a reply.
Many of us may find canned hunts abhorrent however unauthorized use of photos that could potentially lead to victimization is dangerous territory.

Yes. Thanks for this.
Not sure if the people involved would be happy to be presented in the way this org has used their image ?
