Al Jazeera English published this video item, entitled “South Africans call for more wildlife protections” – below is their description.
Two “pet” tigers living next door to a childcare centre in Johannesburg sparked fear and anger among many people in the neighbourhood.
It has also renewed discussion about the ethical treatment of wildlife.
Now the government is drafting a new law to ban the domestication and exploitation of indigenous lions, but animal rights groups say all exotic animals should be protected.
