No Lion Tacos in Arizona


No Lion Tacos in Arizona
The Issue
Recently, the Arizona restaurant Boca Tacos y Tequila announced that it would be serving lion tacos as a promotional stunt.
Even though the lion meat comes from a farm in America, not the wilds of Africa, serving lion is still a major problem -- it creates demand and a larger market for poachers to slaughter wild lions. In addition, lion "farms" in America are not suitable habitats for these creatures.
Lion meat isn't a publicity tool, it's an outrage. Tell Boca Tacos y Tequila to cancel their lion stunt and stick to sustainable sources for their menu.
