Abused, exploited

When will USA agency do their jobs - step up, revoke zoos license, send Asha to GFAS sanctuary

Animal Welfare Act?
Endangered Species Act?

Are there no protections for captive elephants?

The mane attraction: How many lions are in #Australia and how well are they regulated?

Photograph: Mark Kolbe/Getty Images When people think of zoos, they often think of the big cats – tigers and lions,’ says Dr Eduardo J Fernandez. Photograph: Australian Associated Press/Alamy Research shows the public prefers to see animals kept in modern enclosures with naturalistic exhibits.

Don’t fall for the line “it’s conservation”

Captivity is NOT #conservation

When you buy a ticket you contribute to the abuse of wild animals like #Baby
