epa00576832 A lion is photographed in a caged enclosure at a captive breeding centre for large predators at an undisclosed location in South Africa's Free State Province in an undated picture released 16 November 2005 by the International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW). An investigation has revealed the captive breeding of large predators in South Africa for 'canned hunting' is widespread and poorly regulated, the organisation said. Canned hunting is the practice of hunting, mostly of lions for trophies by foreign hunters, in an enclosure too small to allow an animal any chance of escape, with the animals often drugged or sedated. IFAW said its investigation into captive breeding and a legal review of the regulation of breeding and hunting of large predators shows an industry that is virtually free to act as it pleases due to inadequate national and provincial regulation, and a lack of capacity or will by authorities to enforce conservation laws.
