British safari boss charges trophy hunters thousands of pounds to kill farm-bred lions and hippos in South Africa and Zimbabwe
Gruesome photographs show Alex Goss posing beside the bodies of two lions after they were slaughtered during hunts in South Africa. He is believed to be the only British operator openly organising what campaigners call 'canned hunts' - where lions bred in captivity are pursued and shot in fenced enclosures. Goss, from Oswestry, Shropshire, owns and manages Blackthorn Safaris, dividing his time between bird-shooting and deer hunts in the UK and big-game hunts in South Africa and Zimbabwe. In a series of photographs on his website, he is pictured posing beside a dead crocodile, a hippo (bottom left), a buffalo, a pair of zebras, a huge male lion (main) and a lioness (bottom right). Blackthorn is believed to charge clients up to £13,000 for a five-day lion hunt. Guests are based at a five-star lodge described as a 'slice of paradise in the bush' on the edge of the Kalahari desert.
