Minister Barbara Creecy has released the report of the Ministerial Task Team on Voluntary Exit Options and Pathways from the Captive Lion Industry. "This report outlines a comprehensive set of recommendations to effect the voluntary exit from the captive lion industry with mutually beneficial voluntary exit solutions. Faced with ethical, regulatory, conservation, and economic challenges, the MTT views the voluntary exit programme as the first of many steps to achieve the DFFE’s policy objective to legally close the captive lion industry."
