Canned hunting of lion is very common in South Africa. Although I have never heard of shooting one while in the cage. One can get an MGM lion (with out a scratch on his face) from several outfitters in South Africa. The cost will be in the neighborhood of US $45,000 - $50,000.

It's a real travesty, in my opinion. But there are certain "hunters" who have taken the Big 5 and never been to any country in Africa except for South Africa. Might as well go to the zoo for your safari.
