Is this not one of the most adorable hare's you've seen?! 💚

Emmy, Y2 Jarrow Cross Primary created her drawing for our UK Wildlife project in @Janeleemcc Northumbrian Wildlife workshops in March. She has brilliantly captured the shy, timid and cautious nature of hares.

#RefuseToRide

Chanchal spent her life carrying the weight of human entertainment, even as her own body was breaking down. After years of being used for rides, enduring immense strain and suffering, her life ended in the very system that failed her.

The plight of riding elephants in India is still overlooked, and the violation continues.

Riding elephants is not OK. Animal abuse is not OK.
Stand with us to end this cycle of exploitation.

Sign our petition, ‘Refuse To Ride’, and pledge to say no to elephant rides. Your support can make a difference. Sign the petition here: https://t.co/qZ2C6OUwvu
