Firstly, volunteers need to understand that they will not be making any contribution to securing the future of lions. Raising cubs taken away from their mothers at a young age has nothing to do with conservation. Most of these lions are bred on the farms specifically to lure you as a worker. In essence, the volunteers end up paying the farmer to raise lions that are likely to end up being killed for the lion bone trade or in canned hunts. Most lion farms and other predator facilities are using false marketing to make significant sums of money out of volunteer programmes.
