Great news! 👏🐘 After years of tireless advocacy, elephants across tourist venues in Indonesia will be free from elephant rides.

This step taken by the Indonesia government sends a strong signal to the wider tourism industry that we’re entering a new chapter of more responsible wildlife tourism.

Just like us, farm animals are individuals with their own experiences of the world - they want to be healthy and well fed, to do things they enjoy, and to be with other animals.
They deserve our protection and compassion 🧡

Good news! Norway plans to phase out fast-growing chicken breeds by 2027.

These so called “frankenchickens” struggle to support their own bodyweight and suffer from very painful conditions.

We urge the UK government to follow Norway’s example and urgently ban these breeds too.

Stories like these show that cows are sentient, intelligent individuals, who deserve lives worth living 🧡

They don't belong in factory farms where they are treated as machines.
Cow astonishes scientists with rare tool use
The discovery suggests cows may have far greater cognitive abilities than previously assumed.

Hugging a wild animal may seem harmless but one photo for you is a lifetime of trauma and captivity for them.

Be vigilant to animal exploitation and avoid cruel venues: if you are able to hug or hold a wild animal, the chances are it has suffered some kind of cruelty.

Imagine a world where elephants only exist in stories.

It's up to us to actively protect them for generations to come 🧡🐘

During the festive season, more opportunities pop up to get close to reindeer but these experiences often come at a cost to their welfare.

We’re delighted the fur ban has entered Polish law 👏

The fur industry is cruel and outdated, confining millions of wild animals in tiny cages for an unnecessary product. Sadly, it remains legal in other countries, which export and sell fur products into the UK.

It’s incredibly disappointing the UK government has opted out of the Tropical Forests Forever Facility (TFFF). They should be wholeheartedly sponsoring the fund, not swerving from responsibility to the future of the Amazon and threatened tropical forests. We urge them to reconsider this decision.
