In April 2019 Lord Ashcroft published the results of his year-long investigation into South Africa s captive-bred lion industry. Over 11 pages of a single edition of the Mail on Su nday he showed 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, to be published in June 2020, features the shocking results of a new inquiry Lord Ashcroft has carried out into South Africa s lion business. In the book, 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.
