The stunning and iconic African lion is headed for extinction if nothing changes fast. Wild populations have dwindled by almost 50 percent in only the last three decades. You can help The HSUS secure greater protection for these cats from hunters and the wildlife trade. We also work to keep lions out of the entertainment industry, where they usually suffer needlessly. Circus performers may call themselves “lion tamers,” but lions can’t—and shouldn’t—be tamed.
Help Us Protect the African Lion
The African lion is in danger. We're petitioning to have the species listed as "endangered" under the federal Endangered Species Act. Add your voice to ours!
