PATRICK GEORGE ILLUSTRATES FOR BLOOD LIONS

April 9, 2020
Patrick George shares his latest campaign image for Blood Lions highlighting the risks of zoonosis via lion interactions. The COVID-19 pandemic is not the first time that infectious diseases have been linked to wild animals. Other outbreaks , such as SARS, Ebola, MERS, HIV, bovine tuberculosis, rabies, and leptospirosis, are all linked to wildlife. Blood Lions states that “South Africa could inadvertently export Bovine Tuberculosis through the export of lion bones, and the risk of zoonosis is very real, not only for people in South East Asia directly involved in the consumption of lion bones products, but also for workers at the breeding farms and lion abattoirs in South Africa.”
