The news found in this section of the website reflects news items and social media posts that are available for all to see on the internet and elsewhere. We do not fact check content, do not check for veracity or validity, and opinions expressed do not necessarily represent the views of the Lions, Bones & Bullets team. The captive breeding of wildlife involves a complex, multi-layered, and interlinked series of considerations. We believe the role of the film and this website is to inform so that individuals can decide their own positions.
