Within hours of this latest incident involving the lionesses, an appeal was made to the Global White Lion Protection Trust to take them in for safekeeping.

Linda Tucker has published numerous articles warning that tragedies of this kind are inevitable in a commercial industry that allows contact with wild animals. The event drew criticism from conservationists and tourist organisations, yet the commercial “walking with lions” tours were allowed to continue. In the case of Alpha and Omega, the first warning occurred when they escaped from their enclosure and a tragedy ensued.

When they became too big to cuddle, they were kept in a separate enclosure but continued to walk with paying tourists.Įven if there is a loving relationship between human and lion, when lions are used for commercial purposes, history has repeatedly shown that it remains a tragedy waiting to happen. Whilst they were loved and cared for by their human family, they were used for commercial “cub-petting” and “lion-walking”. These two lionesses were born into this heinous industry.Īt a young age, however, Alpha and Omega were rescued from the fate of becoming a trophy or “breeding machine”, with the intention of educating people about the atrocities of this industry. In the notorious Canned Hunting industry, lions are taken from their mothers at birth to be hand-reared and habituated to humans, before later being shot by trophy hunters or sent to the lion bone trade.
