Lion During the search for the closest species to the extinct Cape mountain lion, Derman came across an industry that shocked him to the core: ‘canned hunting’. This includes the practice of breeding animals to be killed, as well as hunting them in small enclosures or when they are tame or drugged.
Aquila is strongly opposed to this and the fight against it has become one of its core values. All the lion on the reserve have been rescued from this industry and reside in a separate sanctuary there.
