Lions bred for commercial use are pictured on August 3, 2012 at Bona Bona Game Farm in Wolmaransstad, 200 kms southeast of Johannesburg.  Around 500 lions are hunted legally every year in South Africa, most of them from commercial lion breeding farms which also supply zoos all over the world. Until recently hunters paid $20,000 (16,000 euros) just for a trophy to hang above the fireplace, and the carcass was thrown to the dogs.
