Today, ten years ago - Cecil the lion succumbed to injuries inflicted upon him with a bow and arrow by American dentist Walter Palmer, who paid $54,000 for the "thrill" of killing. It is estimated that Cecil suffered for 10-12 hours before dying. No one was ever charged or fined in Cecil's killing.

Even after many years of advocacy, the Los Angeles Zoo executive director, who is also an Association of Zoos and Aquariums board member, has decided to send elephants Tina & Billy to another zoo instead of sanctuary. Let Denise Verret know that Tina & Billy deserve better!! --> bit.ly/billytina

We are sad to share that Indu has passed. CWI had been advocating for her release from Phoenix Zoo to an accredited sanctuary for the last six years. We are devastated that she wasn't able to spend the end of her life outside of zoo confinement. Trumpet free, Indu. We will not forget you.
