HUNTEX 2026 PROTEST
25 April, Gallagher - Midrand.

“When we walk into the room they fall down at our feet and cry” – a pro hunter’s chilling words at #HUNTEX2026.

Colonial arrogance laid bare. Animals & communities both stripped of dignity.

#StopTheHunt #NoMoreKilling

PLEASE JOIN THIS COMMUNITY SO WE CAN #FreeOpal!

[Opal Orangutan @Opal_OnSOL]

“The Loneliest Orangutan”

for over 45 years an orangutan named Opal has been held hostage alone at Natal Zoological Gardens. She’s been poorly treated, tourist throw trash at her, she’s bullied and the zoo won’t let her free.

A warm & big THANK YOU to everyone who has joined to #GetVocalForOpal🙏

We have tried everything to #FreeOpal: protests, petitions, emails, calls, a PR campaign. Despite promises made by the owner of the zoo, Georgina Boswell, we were cut off.

LET’S DO THIS TOGETHER!

REASONS FOR HOPE

Easter invites us to reflect on renewal. For all sentient lives.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

BAT shares reasons for hope towards a compassionate, equal human-animal relationship.

Not the changes animal rights advocates seek — but they matter.

SUSTAINABLE TOURISM DOES NOT INCLUDE SHARK NETS & DRUM LINES 🦈

When CLUB MED opens its R2-billion Beach and Safari Resort at Tinley Manor on South Africa’s KwaZulu-Natal north coast this year, it will do so under the banner of sustainable tourism 🤔🙄

🐇FRIENDS in the wild NOT FOOD NOT PETS🐇

It’s Easter
🐇 are everywhere symbolising innocence & new life.

Beyond symbolism
they are food & pets
& not sentient beings.

Respect doesn’t end at symbolism.

Let it reflect in our life choices.

OPAL

OPAL: imprisoned in a cage at the #NatalZoologicalGardens in #CatoRidge, #KZN

GEORGINA BOSWELL WILL CARRY ON HER FATHER, BRIAN BOSWELL’S (THE ONE WHO SHOT SIX TIGERS), LEGACY:

“OPAL will never leave the zoo because that means the animal activists have won.”

🚫ZOOS ARE NOT EDUCATIONAL.
ZOOS ARE CENTRES OF INCARCERATION FOR THE ‘CRIME’ OF BEING BORN THE ‘WRONG’ SPECIES 🚫

THIS IS WHAT THE EXOTIC PET TRADE LOOKS LIKE ….

Behind every exotic pet, who is born and will die in captivity, there is a story like this.
