In zoos, when someone no longer fits available space or breeding plans, they may be labelled ‘surplus’ and killed by zoos or transferred away. Families are disrupted, and individuals pay with their lives.

Today we celebrate mothers and their love. This Mother’s Day, we’re thinking of animal mothers in zoos, aquariums and other captive facilities who are denied the chance to raise their babies.
#MothersDay #Freedom #EndCaptivity
In the 'wild', animals make decisions all day: where to go, who to be near, when to rest, when to avoid danger.
That’s why captivity so often leads to frustration, repetitive behaviours, and stress.

A bonobo cracked the glass in the Memphis Zoo exhibit. Visitors were hoping for a reaction when they pounded on their chests taunting the apes.
Captive animals are already under stress from the mundane lives they're forced into. Animals also get upset when being harassed & taunted. #EndCaptivity
Today is World Wildlife Day, and a reminder that “conservation” is often used to justify captivity.

Mobile zoos are gearing up for spring events.
That means more animals transported from place to place, handled by strangers, and kept in constant stress.
Your monthly gift can help us stop this before the season begins.

🐘 This mother & her herd reacted immediately to hearing the baby in panic.
Elephants are among the most empathetic & conscious beings on the planet. Humans confine these majestic & highly intelligent beings in tiny spaces with no quality of life to raise families in an empty world.
#EndCaptivity
Animals in zoos and aquariums are individuals with their own needs, relationships, routines and choices. Behind the glass, those choices are stripped away.

Breeding & buying more individuals keeps cages full, not habitats safe. “Education” built on bars teaches that animals are exhibits, when they’re somebody with needs we can’t meet in captivity.

What aquariums do not tell you
❌ 79% of fishes and other animals in aquariums are wild caught.
❌ Capture harms 'wildlife'.
❌ Tanks are often only just bigger than the animals inside.
❌ “Conservation” is just a sales pitch.

Born beautiful. Born rare. Born behind bars.
This baby leopard faces a lifetime in captivity, never knowing the wild they belong to. This is not conservation, it is exploitation!

Zoos use pinioning. They amputate the end of one wing when a chick is just days old to stop birds flying and keep them on display. It is permanent.

Polar bears evolved to roam vast Arctic ranges, travelling hundreds of miles to find seals. Captivity strips them of choice and movement.
Help end captivity for polar bears by backing our investigations and campaigns.

Captivity harms elephants: shorter lives, stress, tiny spaces. In July 2024, Avani (7) and Zinda (8) died from EEHV at Dublin Zoo. Stand with us to end this.

Giraffes travel long distances and live in complex family groups. No enclosure can match their need for space, movement and choice. They deserve freedom.
