# The National Council of SPCAs has welcomed the imminent publication of the Lion Prohibition Notice banning new captive lion breeding facilities. Earlier this week, minister of Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment, Dion George, announced progress towards the publication of the notice, which is aimed at phasing out harmful captive lion breeding practices and reinforcing animal well-being. The NSPCA says this long-awaited reform marks a pivotal milestone in dismantling an industry built on systemic cruelty, reflecting years of legal action and public advocacy.
