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.

Fantastic book, annoying narration

This book is really well written. I learned a lot about canned lion hunting in South Africa. I used to believe the propaganda that hunting actually helps with conservation, but this book explains why those claims are false.

Unfortunately, the narrator mispronounces a bunch of words. Hearing “says” pronounced like “days” got really, really annoying (it comes up constantly). Otherwise his voice is nice.

Definitely worth listening to (or reading) this book.
