A year-long investigation has revealed that 54 lions were killed in a filthy slaughterhouse in South Africa in just two days—thousands of others are being bred and killed for their bones.

“We couldn’t believe what was hap­pening. You could smell the blood. The lions got shot in the camp and then were all brought into this one room. The flies were terrible,” Reinet Meyer, a senior inspector at the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals told Daily Mail.
