SCI's Commitment to Responsible Wildlife Conservation

Considering that the practice of the captive breeding of lions for the purpose of hunting has doubtful value to the conservation of lions in the wild, and considering that such hunting is not consistent with SCI's criteria for estate hunting, the SCI Board has adopted the following policy:

SCI opposes the hunting of African lions bred in captivity.
SCI will not accept advertising from any operator for any such hunts, nor will SCI allow operators to sell hunts for lions bred in captivity at the SCI Annual Hunters' Convention.
The exhibitor agrees that in the event the exhibitor violates this provision, the exhibitor may forfeit the opportunity to participate in the convention and any further convention.
