Just a few months after another Arizona restaurant was blasted for having lion burgers on the menu, Boca Tacos y Tequila started a promotion for lion meat tacos as a way to make their name known. They got publicity, but not exactly what they expected. Over 3,000 Change.org members asked the restaurant not to serve the inhumane, unsustainable dish. On January 24, Boca Tacos y Tequila announced on their Facebook page that lion tacos are off the menu and any money already collected from pre-orders would be refunded.
While African lions are not endangered, they are a vulnerable species, and serving lion meat supports inhumane lion farming and creates a demand in the global market for poachers.
