Canned lion hunting hit the headlines with the 2015 launch of Blood Lions. The documentar­y blew the cover off a brutal industry.

In Cuddle Me Kill Me, veteran wildlife campaigner Richard Peirce reveals horrifying facts about the industry. He tells us, among other things, how young cubs are removed from their mothers hours after birth, used for petting by an adoring (and paying) public, and then are served up in fenced enclosures for execution by canned hunters — or simply shot by breeders for the value of their carcass, a prized product in the East.

Well researched by Peirce with the help of an undercover agent, this is a disturbing and passionate plea to end commercial captive lion breeding and the repurposin­g of wildlife to cater for human greed.
