Today, we have launched a brand new report exposing the mobile zoo industry in England. ❗In it, we expose the suffering it inflicts on innocent animals through research and undercover investigations. And what we uncovered was shocking. 👉 Read the report and find out how you can take action for animals used in mobile zoos https://lnkd.in/eBYjW7jm #FreedomforAnimals #ZoosArePrisons #AnimalRights #AnimalLovers #AnimalRightsMovement #AnimalCrueltyAwareness #EmptytheCages #EndZoos

We believe all animals should live free from exploitation, harm and captivity.
About us
We believe all animals should live free from exploitation, harm and captivity. Freedom for Animals began as the Captive Animals' Protection Society in 1957 and is one of the UK’s longest-running charities working to protect animals. Through a combination of undercover investigations, research, campaigns, grassroots activism, political lobbying and education, our work for animals focuses predominantly on issues affecting those individuals held captive in circuses, zoos and aquariums, as well as those used in the television and film industry, live animal displays and the exotic pet trade. Our Mission We take action to end the captivity of animals, especially those used for entertaining the public in zoos, circuses and the media industry. We carry out investigations and research to provide a solid evidence base for our campaigns and political lobbying. Our educational work and awareness-raising promotes a more compassionate attitude and relationship between humans and other animals. We work to influence policymakers at the highest level whilst supporting grassroots activism which we believe is the very foundation of Freedom for Animals We work in partnership with organisations that share our values and amplify our campaigns. Our Vision: Freedom for all animals. Freedom for Animals is a registered charity and receives no government funding. Registered number: 1124436

Did you catch #ChristmasAtLaplandUK on Channel 4 last night? If you did you will have seen the building and opening of a magical festive wonderworld in Ascot, that comes to life due to hard-working actors and crew, and the imaginations of captivated children. You will have also caught a glimpse of a small enclosure, surrounded by public viewing areas, containing reindeer. These animals are rented to serve as part of the scenery, left with harnesses around their heads while on display, and tended to not by experienced handlers, but by construction crew. Children do not need live animals to serve as props. It's not the display of reindeer that makes Christmas magical, but the human effort that goes into it, and their own imaginations. As Santa Claus himself says in the documentary, "Believing is what makes things happen." Believe in a better future for animals and sign the petition to STOP Lapland UK's use of live reindeer: https://lnkd.in/edB2nN7v #StopLiveReindeerEvents

These quotes are from Cumbria Safari Zoo's own keepers, recorded during our investigation there, where we found: ❗Baboons trapped inside for 5 straight days because their outdoor space was damaged by flooding. ❗Rhinos confined to tiny indoor pens while they await their turn outside, on a rotation system due to overcrowding. ❗A baby lemur left on the floor to die, and a dead joey found in a pond that had no fencing. ❗Free-roaming lemurs left outside in the cold to die. ❗Andean bears left in squalid conditions because the keepers didn't want to try to move them out for cleaning. This site is closing, but the team wants to move animals to a new site in Tebay and continue there. This cannot be allowed to happen. Join the action to OBJECT to the new planning application. #CloseSouthLakesZoo https://lnkd.in/eY-bPi_K

This is Pukka. She was only born in May this year, and we took this photo of her in December. She consistently strained away whilst being marched through the Busy St. Nics Arcade in Lancaster. And this was just one appearance in a two week 'tour'. She deserves better. Report a hired reindeer event to us, even if it has already happened, and we will contact the venue to ask them to plan animal-free events in future. This approach has seen hundreds of events go animal-free! https://lnkd.in/e6YCtag4 #StopLiveReindeerEvents

We need you to help put a stop to the misery for the animals in Cumbria Safari Zoo (formerly South Lakes Zoo) once and for all! We told you on Monday that the zoo has announced its closure at the end of this month. They have, however, submitted a planning application to open a new zoo near Tebay which will hold rhinos, giraffes, lynx and more animals captive. This cannot be allowed to happen. Submit an objection to the council now! https://lnkd.in/eHHv2yQg #EmptytheCages #EndZoos #ZoosArePrisons #CloseSouthLakesZoo

🕵️♀️ Animal Lookalikes: Spot the Difference! 🐾 1️⃣ Sea Lion vs. Seal: Sea Lions bark loudly and walk on their flippers, whereas seals are quieter and better adapted for swimming. 🦭💧 2️⃣ Dolphin vs. Porpoise: Porpoises rarely survive in captivity, whereas dolphins can, so they are made to perform tricks for 'entertainment'. 🐬💔 3️⃣ Alligator vs. Crocodile: Alligators prefer freshwater, while crocodiles prefer saltwater. 🐊🌊 4️⃣ Clownfish vs. Yellowtail Coris: Both have been popularised in captivity since 'Finding Nemo'. 🐠💙 No matter their differences, all animals deserve better than cages and tanks. Find out how you can take action today with the link in our bio!✊ #FreedomForAnimals #EmptyTheTanks #FreedomforAnimals #AnimalRights #AnimalLovers #AnimalRightsMovement #AnimalCrueltyAwareness #StopCruelty #StopCrueltytoAnimals
