Canned Hunting

Canned hunting might sound like something as lame as catching a bird in a can, but it is much more than that. I was unsure what canned hunting was until I watched a video online about it. Canned hunting is really animals being raised in captivity to be hunted. The poor animals are forced to live in a specific area that is fenced in where tourists pay to  kill the animals. 
Lions are the most popular animal used for canned hunting but many other animals are involved. There had been a recent incident with canned hunting when Cecil the lion was killed by a dentist in South Africa.  America was furious and there are many fundraises and campaigns that are helping this case.
Obviously this is not good and is one of the many reasons why lions are endangered. When someone says the word ‘’Africa,’’ I imagine safaris, cool outfits, and lions. Lions are beautiful, majestic creatures that are meant to be wild, not living and dying in a tourist trap! 

In conclusion, canned hunting is not a great idea, in fact, it is a horrible idea. To stop this act we need many signatures, emails and a lot of money to fight it, but if a ton of people contribute then we can definitely make a difference.
