x.com/willtravers/... There are NO captive dolphin shows in the UK. There haven’t been for 30 years. They’re not missed. A tidal wave of change is coming - the show won’t go on. It will end. Humanely. Thanks @LeosAnimalPlan1 the French Government & all involved. @BornFreeFDN @whalesorg @BellaLack RT

Barbie the little gorilla is safe with our @ApeActionAfrica colleagues in Cameroon, after she was orphaned and shot in the head by poachers.

Deeply traumatised when rescued, she's receiving 24/7 care and is beginning to recover. 💚

I once had the enormous privilege to have tea with Audrey Hepburn, my mother Virginia, and four or five friends. This quote, attributed to her, is a perfect fit. We should all seek to find our inner AH. Wx
