Following the success of last years event & the encouragement of those that attended to make it a yearly event I am putting together
#TEAMEARTH2020 ~ Lion Farming, Trophy Hunting & Conservation
Sunday 25th October
The Clifton Pavilion
Bristol
10.30 ~ 4.30ish
I read ‘Cuddle Me ~ Kill Me’ by Richard Peirce, it was a life changing read which saw me volunteer at the sanctuary featured in the book & become passionate about the demise of lion farms & all that that entails.
This years event will be a debate with a panel of experts, audience participation & hosted by Peter Egan
We will start with an introduction to the speakers, followed by one of the first screenings of
‘Lions, Bones & Bullets’
A hard hitting film by Richard Peirce following the success of his book ‘Cuddle Me ~ Kill Me’

Peter Egan ~ Outside of the acting world, Peter is an avid advocate of animal rights. He acts as an ambassador for Sarajevo dog rescue group Saving Suffering Strays, as well as the Animals Asia Foundation.

I am in talks with other potential speakers & would be interested to hear from any trophy hunters who would be willing to represent the ‘sport’
