🐔 The heartbreaking journey of a meat chicken in Australia 💔

From birth to slaughter in just 30 days.
Meat chickens in Australia are bred to grow at unnatural speeds and their final days are brutal.
🚚 Transported for 24 hours with no water.
⚡ Many arrive with broken wings or die on the way.

🐾 Huge win for greyhounds 🎉💚

Tasmania will end greyhound racing by 2029, phasing out taxpayer funding. This comes days after Raider’s Guide was euthanised after a race injury. ACT banned it in 2018. Now it’s time for all states to stop funding cruelty.

When you realize it’s Monday… again. 🐻😩

Bear Andri is clearly exhausted today after a weekend of playing and foraging for food.

Rescued from a small wooden box in a basement, this lucky bear is now safe, loved, and living the slow life at our BEAR SANCTUARY Prishtina. 🌱

🕷️🚨 TICK ALERT, AUSTRALIA! 🚨🕷️

It’s National Tick Awareness Month. Sadly, 1 in 10 pets don’t survive tick bites. One bite from a paralysis tick can be fatal.

🛡️ Prevention is key:
✔️ Daily checks

Some industries innovate, but #fur farming clings to bloodshed. Fur isn’t tradition; it’s a shameful choice. 🦊☠️

You can’t modernise misery.
You can’t update brutality.
Stop killing for collars and cuffs.

Cruel in 2002. Still cruel in 2025.

We’ve moved forward in many ways, so why are minks still trapped in cages for fashion?

Fur farming hasn't evolved.
💔 The pain is the same.
🐾 The cages are the same.
☠️ The killing is the same.

🦁💔 #NEWS: The lion attack at Darling Downs Zoo is another preventable tragedy. A woman is seriously injured. A lioness’s fate is uncertain.

The tragedy at Darling Downs Zoo wasn’t a freak accident. It was a predictable outcome of breeding big cats for entertainment.

Farewell, dear Simba. 🦁💔

Rescued from a war-torn zoo in Iraq, he found peace at LIONSROCK Big Cat Sanctuary with lioness Andi by his side.

One day, a small paw wound became serious. And despite every effort, Simba slipped away.

Your last roar will live on in our hearts. 🌈

90% of the world's silk is from mulberry silk. To make just 1m of fabric, 3,000–15,000 #silk moths are killed. 💔🐛

Choose alternatives like lab-grown spider silk, agave plant or citrus fibres. Better yet, shop kinder using our #WearItKind Directory ➡️ fpau.org/shop-kinder.

What you wear tells a story. 🐑💛

Billions of animals suffer for fashion and millions of young women face unfair and unsafe working conditions. And in the end, 150 billion garments are produced every year, most ending up in landfills and polluting ecosystems. 💔

But it doesn't have to be this way.

Great News! 🎉 Last night, Emma Hurst MP successfully got the #NSW Hunting Bill sent to a committee for a proper review. The fight isn't over yet, but this will now give every animal lover more time to let Premier Chris Minns know we do NOT support this Bill. fpau.org/stop-nsw-hunting-bill

🔊 This is the sound of geese suffering for our doonas.

That desperate honk is the cry of a goose as her feathers are ripped from her skin—no pain-relief—every few weeks, every year until she is killed for meat. 💔

🛑 Make sure your coat, pillow or doonas isn’t built on cruelty 👉 fpau.org/shop-kinder

Ever seen a bear jump? Rocco the foodie 🐻♥️

Rocco from our BEAR SANCTUARY Mueritz doesn’t let gravity—or fruit—get in his way. 🍏

When the sweetest of apples hang high, he goes higher. His persistence paid off with some delicious apples. 💪
