About this listen

In April 2019 Lord Ashcroft published the results of his year-long investigation into South Africa’s captive-bred lion industry, showing why this sickening trade, which involves appalling cruelty to the king of the Savannah from birth to death, has become a stain on the country.

Unfair Game features the shocking results of a new inquiry Lord Ashcroft has carried out into South Africa’s lion business. He shows how tourists are unwittingly being used to support the abuse of lions, he details how lions are being tranquilised and then hunted in enclosed spaces, he urges the British government to ban imports of captive-bred lion trophies and he demonstrates why Asia’s insatiable appetite for lion bones has become a multi-million-dollar business linked to criminality and corruption which now underpins South Africa's captive lion industry.

Most relevant

A gripping investigation into the illegal lion bone trade and faux lion hunts best described as canned lion executions. Lord Ashcroft contracts a specialist agency composed of elite military, intelligence and investigative operators to blow open South Africa’s lion conspiracy - an industry built on cruelty and greed that spills into the wild lion populations of neighbouring range states. A rip-roaring read/listen that exposes the demand for lion bone in Asia to fill the void left by the paucity of tigers and a billionaire’s determination - working with a crack team to stop it.

A thought-provoking true life thriller
