Puma hunting ban lifted in Argentina
Puma hunting was suspended in January 2007 following a national outcry by environmentalists, who discovered that animals were being trapped, caged, doped and released so foreign hunters could kill them more easily. Argentine authorities lifted the ban in January 2008.

So-called "guaranteed kill" packages draw approximately 400 hunters from Europe and the US seasonally to the Argentine Pampa. For an advance payment of $10,000, caged pumas are released in the vicinity of hunters to reduce their chances of escape; depending on the size of the killed puma, the "trophy" is valued at 3-4,000 Euros, according to La Nación newspaper sources.
